While
Ruins of the Radiant Siege
contains typical Pathfinder action and adventure, it also presents scenarios that fall
into the realm of horror. This includes body horror, gore, slavery, and torture, as well as depictions of fear of the other
that draw from a history of ableism (see the sidebar on page 63 for more information). Before you begin, understand that
player consent (including that of the Game Master) is vital to a safe and fun play experience for everyone. You should talk
with your players before beginning the adventure and modify descriptions or scenarios as appropriate.

RUINS OF
THE RADIANT SIEGE
CHAPTER 1: RUNAWAY EXCAVATOR ........................................... 4
A CHANGE OF PACE
In this final adventure of Agents of
Edgewatch, most of the strongest
criminals in Absalom are no match
for the Edgewatch agents. The only
forces capable of posing a threat to
them are beings from entirely other
dimensions. Throughout “Ruins of
the Radiant Siege,” your players
fight through waves of extraplanar
monsters in a trio of dungeon
environments infused with more than
a touch of the supernatural.
Your players might have optimized
their characters for on-the-streets
crime-fighting rather than
extradimensional monster-banishing,
so they could feel mismatched
against the otherworldly horrors in
this adventure. Before beginning
Chapter 1, you should give the agents
ample downtime to retrain, shop
for new equipment, and adjust their
spell selections for extraplanar foes.
Meanwhile, you can describe the
meteoric rise of Olansa Terimor to
Absalom’s throne. At any rate, the
agents will likely need to adjust their
gear for the final chapters of this
Adventure Path. You might even
allow them to sell their existing gear
at full Price in exchange for more
suitable equipment.
If your players aren’t enthusiastic
about retraining this late in the
campaign or swapping out their
hard-earned equipment, consider
having their allies give them
consumables to give them an edge,
such as
scrolls of banishment,
a
dispelling sliver
talisman, and one or
two
antimagic oils.
Cleared of their wrongful charges and restored in rank, the Edgewatch
agents must stop the rampaging excavator Graveraker, which is being
piloted by the famed architect and Radiant Festival organizer Blune
Bandersworth. Once aboard the excavator, the agents must free the
enslaved chaos serpents that power its engine. In the process, they meet a
powerful ganzi wizard who can help them find a way to balance the scales
of power against the primarch’s illegitimate usurper, Olansa Terimor.

CHAPTER 2: THE RADIANT SPARK ............................................20
Below the foundations of Fort Tempest, in the ruins of the ancient siege
tower of Kharnas the Angel-Binder, the agents search for an incredible
artifact called the
Radiant Spark.
Yet within the ruins are twisted celestials
and other extradimensional beings from the time of Kharnas, and their
millennia of isolation have made them desperate for escape.
CHAPTER 3: THE GRAY QUEEN’S TOWER................................... 44
Finally, artifact in hand, the Edgewatch agents assault Primarch Olansa
Terimor’s fortress, a place of warped reality fashioned by the protean
artifact she bears as her scepter. Can the agents defeat the tower’s daemonic
guardians, seize the ancient relics necessary to clear their way, and make
the Gray Queen answer for her crimes?
“Ruins of the Radiant Siege” is designed for four characters. Characters
should level up between chapters.
