Who Speaks for the Ten
Passing the Torch Part 2: Who Speaks for the Ten, a Pathfinder Society scenario written by John Compton and Thurston Hillman for tier 12-18, was released on August 2, 2019.
“The Whispering Tyrant has arisen, and war once again looms at Absalom's doorstep. Yet with most Pathfinders far to the north neutralizing the Tyrant's secret weapon, the Grand Lodge is understaffed and vulnerable. Now that the PCs have identified the threat Grandmaster Torch poses, they are among the few capable of entering the Grand Lodge's most restricted reaches, averting disaster, and changing the face of the Pathfinder Society forever.
"Who Speaks for the Ten" is the second and final seeker-level adventure in the "Passing the Torch" series that concludes Season 10, and these adventures take place in parallel with the events of Pathfinder Society Special #10-98: Siege of Gallowspire. This adventure is preceded by Pathfinder Society Scenario #10-22: Passing the Torch, Part 1: Who Wears the Mask. These two scenarios are intended to be played in order.
