Having neutralized the enemy’s new weapons, the PCs and their allies assault the Wildwood Lodge directly to oust its murderous despot. Yet after recruiting local allies and besieging living fortresses, they discover their foe has fled to an unfamiliar realm: the Plane of Wood. The PCs pursue, arriving in an elemental town that is all too familiar with the Wildwood Lodge’s trickery. The PCs must earn the inhabitants’ trust and investigate their foe’s final gambit before giving chase into a blighted wilderness and averting an invasion that could devastate the Verduran Forest.

Shepherd of Decay is a wilderness-themed Pathfinder adventure for four 11th-level characters. The adventure concludes the Wardens of Wildwood Adventure Path, a three-part monthly campaign in which a group of adventurers navigate a tricky balance between idyllic wilderness, a hungry nation, and primal forces beyond the natural world. This volume also includes a look at how to continue the campaign, a gazetteer of a settlement on the Plane of Wood, several new magical items, and new monstrous threats!

Each monthly Pathfinder Adventure Path volume contains an in-depth adventure scenario, stats for several new monsters, and support articles meant to give Game Masters additional material to expand their campaign.

Preorder expected June 2024.
