Forest’s Hart: GM Guide
Adventure premise
The party arrives believing they must save or purify the legendary Hart. Investigation reveals that the Hart is trapped between life and death and that the forgotten Coedmyr rite was a ritual hunt. Saving the Hart means completing its natural passage.
At a glance
- System: Pathfinder Second Edition
- Shape: 2–3 session investigation sandbox
- Core loop: explore Coedmyr → recover forgotten preparations → reinterpret them → perform the ritual hunt
- Finale: bell-guided pursuit followed by the final rite at the old shrine
Current required preparation
The reconstructed Wolf’s Tooth is the only intended hard gate. Shrine knowledge, hunt knowledge, and a trained bellkeeper materially reduce final-encounter difficulty.
