While
Devil at the Dreaming Palace
contains typical Pathfinder action and adventure, it also presents scenarios—particularly
in Chapter 4—that fall into the realm of horror. This includes depictions of serial killers, torture, nonconsensual voyeurism,
and violence against children. 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.

DEVIL AT THE
DREAMING PALACE
CHAPTER 1: THE MEAN STREETS OF ABSALOM ........................... 4
A FESTIVE BACKDROP
The Agents of Edgewatch
Adventure Path takes place in
Absalom during the city’s grand
centennial celebration, the Radiant
Festival, which spans the entire
summer season. The six volumes
of this campaign assume that the
player characters are fledgling
city guards at the outset of the
festival and the city’s only hope
by summer’s end. However, you
need not keep precise track of
the in-game calendar. Dates for
significant events (such as the
Radiant Parade in the second
volume or the Floating Gala at the
Lucky Nimbus in the third volume)
are purposefully omitted to give you
and your players ample flexibility
for the amount of time that passes
between challenges, chapters, and
adventures, including downtime and
time for recuperation.
The Agents of Edgewatch Adventure Path begins! The heroes, as new
recruits of the recently formed city guard division called Edgewatch,
must patrol Absalom’s Precipice Quarter and resolve crimes at the
once-in-a-lifetime Radiant Festival. No sooner have they walked their first
beat, however, than a disaster at a traveling menagerie requires the officers’
to stop escaped beasts from wreaking total mayhem.

CHAPTER 2: MISSING PERSONS ..............................................20
The agents’ next mission is to investigate a rash of mysterious disappearances,
starting with laborers who were constructing the Dragonfly Pagoda
exhibit. When the heroes find that the construction site has been taken
over by rebellious kobolds who are holding the workers hostage, they must
infiltrate the half-completed shrine and de-escalate the perilous situation.
CHAPTER 3: INTO THE UNDERCITY............................................30
The agents’ investigation into missing persons takes them undercover
and underground. After navigating a perilous path through Absalom’s
subterranean Undercity, the guards reach a planar-themed speakeasy and
question its shady patrons.
CHAPTER 4: THE MURDER HOTEL ............................................. 44
Having traced the missing persons to the same hotel, the Edgewatch agents
must battle their way through an array of sadistic traps and torments in
order to finally bring a serial killer and his associates to justice.
“Devil at the Dreaming Palace” is designed for four characters.
