VOLOROG THE KUMO

I am currently running an Oriental Adventures (OA) campaign called The Divine Heir and the Jade Regent loosely based around the Pathfinder Adventure Path the Jade Regent with strong influences from Sekiro.  The first adventure is called The Ashina Legacy and is essentially the The Brinewall Legacy set in and completely converted to an OA setting.

I had to rewrite the adventure intro and re-theme the monsters but it worked well.  Here is the flowchart of the adventure (and campaign).

Here is a set encounter.  For those familiar with the original Brinewall Legacy it replaced the doppelgänger creature posing as a halfling (a Korobokuro in my game).  My players, being level 1, avoided exposing the swamp too much and stayed focused on their goal – executing the bake mono – so they never had this encounter.
