The Rules of the Swift
The Rules of the Swift, a Pathfinder Society scenario for tier 1-7 written by Larry Wilhelm, was released in April 2010. It is the fourth and final installment in the Devil We Know campaign arc.
“In the conclusion of the Devil We Know campaign arc, you are called once more to Cassomir, where a mass abduction of the residents of Swift Prison has the entire town in a panic. Venture-Captain Hestia Themis once more partners you with an Aspis agent to see what link the Swift Prison event has to the earlier kidnapping of a Pathfinder agent. You will explore an empty prison, delve the tunnels below, and come face-to-face with the source of Cassomir's troubles in a vile grotto deep beneath the city.
