<h1 class="no-toc">Alkenstar, City of Smog</h1>
<p>
In the heart of the war-torn Mana Wastes, a metropolis of industry,
innovation, and intrigue awaits travelers hardy enough to make the journey.
Beneath the towering gaze of brass spires and stone fortresses, amid a
tangle of oil-slicked streets and soot-stained alleys, human inventors and
their clockwork creations walk beside mutated gnoll scavengers,
bronze-masked religious zealots, and fire-fleshed geniekin merchants. Many
spend their days toiling without respite in grimy workshops or smoky
factories. Others patrol the cobblestone streets for their fortunes, one
hand firmly on their holstered sidearms, ready to confront a rival gang or
runaway bounty.&nbsp;All the while, pistons, gears, and cogs within every
machine and building turn as steadily as the hands of a clock, all
maintaining the mechanical rhythm of a settlement that never truly sleeps.
This is Alkenstar, the City of Smog.
</p>
<p>
Outlaws of Alkenstar begins in the eponymous city. Whether your character is
Alkenstar-born, a first- or second-generation immigrant, or a total
newcomer, it’s worthwhile to master some of the City of Smog’s basic
nomenclature. The following is some basic information about Alkenstar known
to most locals and visitors alike.
</p>
<aside class="sidebar">
<h1 class="no-toc">Where on Golarion</h1>
<p>
The Outlaws of Alkenstar Adventure Path starts in the city of Alkenstar,
an industrial and technological mecca in the Mana Wastes of eastern
Garund. For more information about the Mana Wastes and Alkenstar, see
pages 195–199 of Pathfinder Guns &amp; Gears or pages 74–76 of the
Pathfinder Lost Omens World Guide.

</aside>
<h2>Places of Note</h2>
<p>
Alkenstar is a large city in an arid desert environment built atop the edge
of the 400-foot-tall
<strong>Hellfallen Cliffs</strong>. Formidable stone walls protect the city
on all sides from wasteland raiders. The easiest way into the city is via
the steady-flowing <strong>Ustradi River</strong>, which naturally bisects
Alkenstar.
</p>
<p>
In the center of the city is <strong>Alken Falls</strong>, a massive
waterfall set several hundred yards back from the rest of the Hellfallen
Cliffs to the north. Thousands of vessels traverse Alken Falls each year by
way of the <strong>Screw</strong>, a technological marvel that can raise or
lower multiple ships at a time from one end of the falls to the other.
</p>
<p>
The wealthy districts and neighborhoods south of the Ustradi are referred to
as <strong>Skyside</strong>, whereas the polluted, industrial quarters to
the north are collectively known as <strong>Smokeside</strong>. Within these
two major regions, the city is further subdivided into loosely defined
wards.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Smokeside is home to the quaint inventors’ neighborhood of
<strong>Steamhaven</strong>, peaceful <strong>Ustradi Heights</strong>,
and lively <strong>Ferrous Quarter</strong>.
</li>
<li>
In Skyside, one can attend swanky aristocratic galas in the
<strong>Capital District</strong>, peruse the many marketplaces of
<strong>Auburn District</strong>, or head to
<strong>Pilot’s Square</strong> to pay for passage aboard an airship or
dirigible bound for major ports along the eastern Garundi coastline.
</li>
<li>
A few city districts defy categorization into either Skyside or Smokeside,
including <strong>Hellside</strong>—a shantytown that literally hangs from
the side of the cliffs overlooking Alken Falls—and the monster-infested
ruins of <strong>Ironside Quarter</strong> along the city’s far western
wall.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Alkenstar’s major institutions include
<strong>Alkenstar Castle</strong> (from which the city’s elected politicians
hold court), the <strong>Temple of Brigh</strong> (overseen by the highly
influential priests of the goddess of clockwork), and
<strong>Blythir College</strong> (the city’s only major magical academy and
a hub of higher learning). Of course, as in any city, Alkenstar’s most
important cultural movements occur among its people, not its leaders. In the
sky-scraping towers of <strong>Graeson’s Fingers</strong> in the Capital
District or upscale establishments like the
<strong>Longhorn Lounge</strong>, socialites mingle and make deals behind
closed doors at ritzy soirees and gaudy galas, whose electric luxuries are
made possible only by the skilled engineers at the
<strong>Tinwound Hydroforge</strong>.
</p>
<p>
All the while, criminals both organized and independent haunt Alkenstar’s
alleyways, sewers, and seedy taverns like the
<strong>Hotfoot Hippodrome</strong>, where untold quantities of illicit
wealth are pushed through the city like so much lifeblood. At popular
saloons like the <strong>Barrel &amp; Bullet Saloon</strong>, impoverished
factory hands and honest laborers hold court from the fortress of a taproom
table and wielding only a mug of watery ale.
</p>
<p>
Beyond the city’s walls lie the <strong>Mana Wastes</strong>—a turbulent,
craggy desert irrevocably altered by centuries of magical warfare from the
neighboring, wizard-ruled nations of <strong>Nex</strong> and
<strong>Geb</strong>. Emigrants from either country are common in Alkenstar.
Many such expatriates are wanted by talented spellcasters, and so they come
to Alkenstar to exploit the region’s strange ambient effects on magic and
hide from their aggressors. Others are spellcasters themselves who wish to
experiment with their craft in the heart of the Mana Wastes.
</p>
<p>
Two geographical regions occupy most of the Mana Wastes: east of Alkenstar
to the Obari Ocean is the arid, storm–wracked
<strong>Spellscar Desert</strong>. On the city’s other side is the
<strong>Western Ravage</strong>, a craggy badland which spans the many miles
between Alkenstar and the Barrier Peaks.
</p>
<p>
Just 50 miles west of Alkenstar is the <strong>Gunworks</strong>, a sturdy
outpost of innovative metallurgists, ambitious gunsmiths, and seasoned
wasteland rangers. Here, a massive cannon called the Maw of Rovagug protects
the city from roving bandits and violent monsters.
</p>
<p>
Closer to Alkenstar proper is the dwarven Sky Citadel of Dongun Hold. It was
from the inventors and alchemists of
<strong>Dongun Hold</strong> that the settlers of Alkenstar first learned
the secrets of black powder and firearm technology. As a result of the
settlements’ decades of comingling, many Dongun dwarves can be found within
Alkenstar’s walls.
</p>
<h2>Notable Personas</h2>
<img class="float-right" src="modules/pf2e-ap178-180-outlaws-of-alkenstar/assets/art/BLACKPOWDER_BERSERKER.webp" alt="" style="
shape-outside: url('modules/pf2e-ap178-180-outlaws-of-alkenstar/assets/art/BLACKPOWDER_BERSERKER.webp');
" ;="">
<p>
Though the city’s rulers prefer to believe that their laws and norms make
Alkenstar a safe, orderly place to live, the truth is that power of all
kinds—monetary, social, alchemical—swaps hands as a matter of course.
</p>
<p>
Most of Alkenstar’s citizenry can be divided into either the working class
or the aristocratic elite. The former labor ceaselessly to produce goods,
services, and wealth, while the latter live to consume these resources.
Alkenstar’s best-known aristocrat is also the city’s leader, the popular and
savvy
<strong>Grand Duchess Trietta Ricia</strong>. Beyond politicians, the
aristocratic class also consists of the city’s money movers and power
brokers, including notorious financiers like
<strong>Ambrost Mugland</strong> and infamous iron-fisted shieldmarshals
like <strong>Deputy Anjelique Loveless</strong>. Lower on the social ladder
but no less impactful are charismatic rumormongers disguised as humble
workers, including the Bullet &amp; Barrel Saloon’s own shotgun-toting
barkeep, <strong>Foebe Dunsmith</strong>.
</p>
<p>
Beyond humans, dwarves, and other beings of flesh and blood, Alkenstar is
home to a diverse and populous class of clockwork servants. Incapable of
thought, feeling, or even (in most cases) any sensation at all, these
mechanical drones serve their creators diligently and without question.
Private companies and well-off individuals build or buy their own clockworks
to perform repetitive labor, private security, or miscellaneous errands.
Likewise, clockworks commissioned by the Grand Duchy fill less-desirable
civil roles—trash collecting, late guard shifts, road maintenance—so that
working-class laborers can keep their heads down and focus on the job at
hand. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, clockwork inventors wage their own
shadow wars and arms races to devise ever more impressive clockwork
creations.
</p>
<p>
In addition to inventors, Alkenstar is home to creators of nearly every
stripe, particularly alchemists and gunsmiths. Among this class of tinkers
and scholars, technological news and rumors of new innovations spread at the
speed of sound—often literally, considering the booming explosions that can
be heard from workshops and factories at nearly every hour of the day. For
example, recently, an eccentric alchemist named Vashon Gattlebee stunned
onlookers at his ill-fated exhibition at Blythir College, where he showed
off a devastating new explosive called pyronite. The pyronite incident, as
the exhibition has become known, sent shock waves throughout Alkenstar’s
scientific community, with nearly every metallurgist, engineer, and
researcher speculating upon the implications of this dramatic new weapon.
</p>
<h2>Magic in Alkenstar</h2>
<p>
The City of Smog has a reputation for favoring technological innovations
over supernatural ones. This is partially as a result of the city’s origins;
the expatriates who emigrated from the nations of Nex and Geb to found
Alkenstar were mostly renegades and exiles. They eschewed the strong magical
traditions of their wizard-ruled homelands in favor of different approaches
to common societal problems. The emergence of black powder technology from
nearby Dongun Hold only exacerbated newcomers’ preference for alchemy and
machines over wands and spellbooks.
</p>
<p>
Another reason for Alkenstar’s relative dearth of spellcasters comes from
its climate: the Mana Wastes are infamous for the devastating magical
siroccos that regularly sweep across the desert—“mana storms,” in the local
parlance. When a mana storm rolls in, spells and magical powers are much
more likely to go awry, so wise spellcasters sheathe their wands and
travelers run for cover. During such storms, a well-aimed fireball is just
as likely to hit its mark as warp into a spear of ice that backfires on its
caster. Thankfully, the walls around the city of Alkenstar protect those
inside the settlement proper from the worst effects of mana storms. Local
forecasts called whispersheets also offer reliable predictions for times of
day when magic might not function as intended.
</p>
<p>
In the Outlaws of Alkenstar Adventure Path, magic is assumed, by default, to
function reliably and as described in the Pathfinder Core Rulebook. This
means that you can play as a sorcerer, witch, or any other spellcaster
without fear of being at a disadvantage. The rare mana storm might
complicate matters once or twice during the campaign, but your characters
will be made aware of these events well in advance, giving you plenty of
time to prepare for situations that could dramatically impact your
character’s abilities.
</p>
<p>
That said, your GM might have other ideas in mind, particularly if the rest
of the group is interested in playing a campaign where magic is relatively
rare. If you plan to play a spellcaster class, make sure you and your GM are
on the same page regarding mana storms, whispersheets, and what effect (if
any) these elements might have on your adventures.
</p>
<h1 class="no-toc">霾都阿肯斯塔 Alkenstar, City of Smog</h1>
<p>
在饱受战争蹂躏的法力废土（Mana Wastes）的中心，一个工业发达、发明和阴谋盛行的大都市在等待着足够勇敢的旅行者启程。在高耸的黄铜尖塔和石头堡垒的注视下，在油光闪闪的街道和煤烟熏黑的小巷中，人类发明家和他们的发条装置穿行于变异的鬣狗人拾荒者、戴着青铜面具的宗教狂热者和浑身冒火的巨灵裔商人之间。许多人终日在肮脏的车间或烟雾缭绕的工厂里埋头苦干。另一些人则在鹅卵石街道上巡逻，寻找致富的机会，一只手坚定地握着装在枪套里的手枪，准备随时与敌对团伙或逃跑的悬赏犯对峙。与此同时，每台机器和建筑内部的活塞、齿轮和零件都像时钟的指针一样稳定地转动着，所有这些都维持着这座永不会真正入眠的城市的机械脉搏。
这就是霾都阿肯斯塔。
</p>
<p>
《《霾都狂徒》的故事将从霾都阿肯斯塔开始。无论你的角色是阿肯斯塔出生的、第一代或第二代移民，还是完全的外来者，掌握一些霾都的基本情况都是很有必要的，以下是大多数当地人和游客都知道的关于阿肯斯塔的一些基本信息。
</p>
<aside class="引用">
<h1 class="no-toc">在格拉利昂的什么地方？ Where on Golarion？</h1>
<p>
霾都狂徒的冒险始于霾都阿肯斯塔，它是加仑德东部的法力废土上的一座工业和科技圣地。关于法力废土和阿肯斯塔的更多信息，详阅《枪械全书》195-199页，或《预言破灭之年-世界指南》的74-76页部分。

<h2>值得注意的地点 Notable Personas</h2>
<p>
阿肯斯塔是个干旱沙漠环境的大都市，建造在400尺高的地狱绝壁（Hellfallen Cliffs）上。<strong>地狱绝壁 Hellfallen Cliffs</strong>. 吓人的石墙保护着城市的各个方面，使其免受废土入侵者的侵袭。进入这座城市最简单的方式是通过稳定流动的乌斯塔迪河（Ustradi River），这条河天然地将阿尔肯斯塔一分为二。
</p>
<p>
位于城市中心的 <strong>阿肯瀑布（Alken Falls）</strong>, 是一座巨大的瀑布，距离北面的地狱绝壁只有几百码距离。每年有成千上万条船通过 <strong>螺钉升船机（Screw）</strong>，跨越瀑布。螺钉升船机是一项技术奇迹，可以同时将多艘船只从瀑布一端送往另一端。
</p>
<p>
斯塔迪河南部较为富裕的地区和社区被称为<strong>天空城（Skyside）</strong>，而北部饱受污染的工业区则被称为<strong>雾霾城（Smokeside）</strong>. 在这两个主要城区内，城市被进一步细分为几个边界模糊的子区域。
</p>
<ul>
<li>
雾霾城内坐落着古怪发明家们的社区<strong>蒸汽港（Steamhaven）</strong>, 平静的 <strong>乌斯塔迪高地（Ustradi Heights）</strong>和生机勃勃的 <strong>亚铁区（Ferrous Quarter）</strong>。
</li>
<li>
在天空城，你可以参加<strong>财富区（Capital District）</strong>时髦的贵族盛会，在<strong>赤褐区（Auburn District）</strong>的众多商场中流连，或<strong>领航员广场（Pilot’s Square）</strong> 付钱乘坐飞艇前往加仑德东部沿岸的主要港口。
</li>
<li>
一些城区既无法划归天空城也无法划归雾霾城，包括 <strong>狱崖窟（Hellside）</strong>，这是个从悬崖上俯瞰阿肯瀑布的贫民窟，以及城市遥远的西部城墙之下、怪物横行的<strong>铁废区（Ironside Quarter）</strong>废墟。
</li>
</ul>
<p>
阿肯斯塔的主要机构包括<strong>阿肯斯塔堡 Alkenstar Castle</strong> （该城的民选议员们在这里议事）、<strong>布莱神殿 Temple of Brigh</strong> （由极具影响力的发条女神的祭司管理）、以及<strong>布莱瑟学院</strong> （该市唯一的主要魔法学院和高等教育中心）。 当然，就像任何一个城市一样，阿尔肯斯塔最重要的文化活动发源于它的人民而非领导者。在财富区的<strong>格雷森之指（Graeson’s Fingers）</strong>的摩天大楼，或者像<strong>长角酒廊（Longhorn Lounge）</strong>这样的高端消费场所，社交名流们在奢华晚宴和俗丽盛会上闭门交谈，进行交易。而这些场所中的电动奢侈品只有<strong>锡圈水电站（Tinwound Hydroforge）</strong>的老练工程师们才能创造出来。
</p>
<p>
与此同时，有组织的或独行的犯罪分子们常常出没于阿肯斯塔的小巷、下水道和像<strong>热步斗舞场（Hotfoot Hippodrome）</strong>这样破烂的小酒馆里，无数的非法财富通过这里，像血液一样在座城市里流动。像<strong>枪弹酒吧（Barrel & Bullet）</strong>这样广受欢迎的酒馆里，穷苦的工人和诚实的劳动者坐在酒吧间的桌子前，捧着大杯的淡啤酒聊天吹牛。
</p>
<p>
城墙外是法力废土——这是一片动荡、崎岖的荒漠，几个世纪以来，邻近的巫师国家<strong>奈克斯（Nex）</strong> and<strong>盖布（Geb）</strong>之间的魔法战争已经不可逆转地改变了这片荒漠。来自这两个国家的移民在阿肯斯塔很常见。许多这样的流亡者被更高强的施法者通缉，所以他们来到阿肯斯塔，利用该地区奇怪的魔法环境躲避敌人的追捕。另一些施法者则希望在法力废土的心脏地区实验他们的新作品。
</p>
<p>
法力废土分为两个主要地理区域：阿肯斯塔以东到奥巴里洋（Obari Ocean）的地带是干旱的、被狂风蹂躏的<strong>法痕荒漠（Spellscar Desert）</strong>，而城市的另一边则是<strong>西部荒原（Western Ravage）</strong>，这是一片崎岖不平的荒地，在阿肯斯塔和屏障峰（Barrier Peaks）之间延绵数英里。
</p>
<p>
在阿肯斯塔西边50英里的地方是<strong>枪械工坊（Gunworks）</strong>，这是一个强大的前哨基地，聚集了勇于创新的冶金师、雄心勃勃的枪械工匠和经验丰富的荒地游侠。这里有一门巨大的加农炮叫做洛瓦古格巨口（Maw of Rovagug），它保护着这座城市免受强盗和凶猛怪兽的侵袭。
</p>
<p>
离阿肯斯塔更近的是矮人的天空要塞<strong>顿加堡（Sky Citadel of Dongun Hold）。阿肯斯塔的居民正是从顿加堡的发明家和炼金术士那里初次掌握了黑火药和火器的秘密。由于两个定居之间点数十年的交流和融合，阿肯斯塔城内有许多顿加堡矮人定居。
</p>
<h2>著名人物 Notable Personas</h2>
<img class="float-right" src="modules/pf2e-ap178-180-outlaws-of-alkenstar/assets/art/BLACKPOWDER_BERSERKER.webp" alt style="shape-outside:url('modules/pf2e-ap178-180-outlaws-of-alkenstar/assets/art/BLACKPOWDER_BERSERKER.webp')" />
<p>
尽管城市的统治者们更愿意相信他们的法律法规让阿肯斯塔成为一个安全有秩序的定居点，但事实上，各种各样的权力——货币、社会、炼金术——时时刻刻都在易手，这是理所当然的。
</p>
<p>
大多数阿肯斯塔市民可以被分为工人阶级或贵族精英两大阶层。前者不断劳动以产出商品、服务和财富，后者则在生活中消费这些资源。阿肯斯塔最著名的贵族同时也是这座城市的领导者，广受欢迎的精明女大公<strong>崔莉塔·瑞希亚（Grand Duchess Trietta Ricia）</strong>。除了政客，精英阶级还包括这个城市的金融巨鳄和权力掮客，包括臭名昭著的金融家<strong>安布罗斯特·穆格兰（Ambrost Mugland）</strong> 和声名狼藉且铁腕的盾勋执法官，比如副警长 <strong>安洁丽卡·洛夫莱斯（Deputy Anjelique Loveless）</strong>。社会地位较低但影响力同样大的是那些伪装成卑微员工、充满魅力的谣言散布者，其中就包括枪弹酒馆里时刻背着把霰弹枪的酒保<strong>菲比•邓史密斯（Foebe Dunsmith）</strong>。
</p>
<p>
除了人类、矮人和其他有血有肉的生物，阿肯斯塔城内有着数量众多的各式各样的发条仆从。这些机械仆从没有思维和感受能力，甚至在大多数情况下没有知觉，只会任劳任怨地为他们的创造者服务。私人公司和富裕的居民会制造或购买专属的发条机械来进行重复劳动、私人安保或处理其他杂务。同样，由大公所委派的发条机械也包揽了一些没人想干的活——收集垃圾、夜晚巡逻、道路养护——这样，工人阶级就能埋头苦干，专注于眼前的工作。于此同时，发条装置的发明家们也在进行着他们自己的影子战争和军备竞赛，竞相设计出更加令人印象深刻的发条作品。
</p>
<p>
I不仅仅包括发明家，阿肯斯塔还是几乎是所有类型的手艺人的天堂，尤其是炼金术士和枪械工匠。在这类工匠和学者中，关于新发明的技术新闻和传闻以音速传播——这通常不是夸张的说法，因为几乎每个小时都能听到车间和工厂里传出的爆炸声。例如，最近尤为古怪的炼金术士名叫瓦申·盖特比（Vashon Gattlebee），他在布莱瑟学院炫耀性地展示了一种名为爆熔雷（pyronite）的具有毁灭性的新型爆炸物。爆熔雷的展示在阿肯斯塔的学术界引起了轩然大波，几乎每一个冶金师、工程师和研究者都在猜测这种威力巨大的武器背后的含义。
</p>
<h2>阿肯斯塔的魔法 Magic in Alkenstar</h2>
<p>
这座霾都以偏爱科技创新而非超自然现象而闻名。这部分是由于这座城市的起源：从奈克斯和盖布移民到这里来的居民多半是叛逃者或流亡者，他们摒弃了由法师统治的祖国那强大的魔法传统，喜欢用不同方法来解决共同的社会问题。从顿加堡流传来的黑火药技术，更进一步加剧了新移民对炼金术和机械技术的偏好，而非魔杖和法术书。
</p>
<p>
阿肯斯塔相对缺乏施法者的另一个原因来自于它的自然环境：法力废土常常刮着臭名昭著的能横扫整个沙漠的毁灭性魔法天灾——法力风暴。当法力风暴来袭时，法术和魔法力量就更有可能出错，导致灾难性的后果。所以明智的施法者会收起他们的魔杖，而旅行者则会急忙寻找掩蔽。在这样法力风暴中，一个准确瞄准的火球术可能会击中目标，也可能被扭曲成一根冰矛，反噬施法者自己。值得庆幸的是，阿肯斯塔城周围的城墙保护了那些居住在定居点内的人免受法力风暴的最坏影响。被称为“耳语表”（whispersheets ）的当地天气预报也能可靠地预测出一天中在什么时段魔法可能无法发挥出预期的作用。
</p>
<p>
在《霾都狂徒》冒险之路中，魔法在默认情况下是可靠的，其效果依然如同《核心规则书》中所描述的那样。这意味着你可以成为一名法师、女巫或任何其他施法者，而不用担心有先天性的劣势。罕见的法力风暴可能会在战役中发生那么一两次，让问题变得更加复杂化，但你的角色会提前知道这些事件的发生，给你足够的准备时间来应对可能对你角色能力产生戏剧性影响的情况。
</p>
<p>
也就是说，你的GM可能会有其他主意，尤其是当团队中的其他玩家对不太涉及魔法的战役感兴趣的时候。如果你打算成为一个施法者职业，请确保你和你的GM在关于法力风暴、耳语表、以及这些元素可能对你的冒险有什么影响等方面（如果有的话）达成一致。

<p>
In the Outlaws of Alkenstar Adventure Path, you and your friends assume the
roles of wanted criminals who must operate outside the law to earn their
fortunes and freedom. Your ultimate goal is twofold: clear your name, and also
seek revenge against the villain responsible for your ruined reputation.
</p>
<p>
Read on to learn more about the implications of your outlaw status, the
nemeses responsible for your infamy, and the upcoming job that promises to
help you get revenge.
</p>
<h2>Outlawed</h2>
<p>
At the beginning of this Adventure Path, your character is presumed to be an
outlaw—a notorious roughneck, wanted renegade, or wrongly accused
runaway—currently at large and charged by the city of Alkenstar with breaking
one, two, or a dozen laws. The crime of which you’ve been accused might be
petty (such as trespassing, picking pockets, or breaking and entering), or it
might be grand (high treason, prison break, or murder), or it might land
somewhere between these two extremes. You might have committed the crime with
full knowledge of your misdeed, or perhaps you believed you were in the right
or had no other option. Maybe you didn’t do anything wrong at all, and the
entire matter is a grave understanding or a setup. Whatever the specifics,
you’ve caught the attention of Alkenstar’s organized guard force, the
shieldmarshals.
</p>
<p>
Now, to retain your freedom and eventually clear your name, you’ll need to
stay one step ahead of the law by operating outside of it. This means that you
must disguise yourself before appearing in public, you’d do well to avoid
drawing undue attention toward yourself, and any allies you have are either
wanted criminals as well or aid you only after thinking long and hard about
whether to do so. No one in polite society dares to be seen by your side, and
your opportunities for honest work are slim to none.
</p>
<p>
How did you get yourself in this predicament? The specific details of your
alleged wrongdoing are up to you to decide. For some inspiration and potential
ideas to help you build your character’s backstory, see the new
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ooalk01player.JournalEntryPage.01charactersug00]{Backgrounds}.
These backgrounds also provide you with an important hook: the name of the
betrayer responsible for your newly acquired criminal reputation.

<h1 class="no-toc">Running this Adventure Path</h1>
<p>
Playing in Outlaws of Alkenstar is a blast, and running the Adventure Path
as a GM can be just as fun. If you’d like to run your own Outlaws of
Alkenstar campaign, doing so is as easy as picking up the first volume in
the series, <i>Pathfinder Adventure Path #178: Punks in a Powderkeg</i>, a
complete adventure for 1st- to 3rd-level characters. You can find this
volume and many more Pathfinder adventures at your friendly local game store
or <i>paizo.com</i>.
</p>
<p>
After the party has finished the first adventure, you can continue your
players’ exciting story in Alkenstar and conclude the campaign with the
second and third volumes in the Outlaws of Alkenstar Adventure Path: “Cradle
of Quartz” and “The Smoking Gun.”
</p>
</aside>
<h2>Gunmetal Grudge</h2>
<p>
Even if your character’s misdeeds were bound to catch up to them, the bulk of
the blame for your character’s ill fame rests firmly on the shoulders of one
of two infamous Alkenstar villains: the notoriously corrupt Deputy
Shieldmarshal Anjelique Loveless or the infamous business mogul Ambrost
Mugland. The backgrounds on page 11 are designed specifically to explain your
character’s grudge against either Loveless or Mugland, but you can pick either
villain as your sworn nemesis and tailor the reasons for your character’s
vendetta however you like.
</p>
<p>
Whichever of these wretches wronged your character, it’s an open secret in
Alkenstar that Loveless and Mugland are in league with one another, each using
their particular realm of influence to scratch the other’s back. Though this
makes them nearly impervious to the forces of law and order—few with the power
to do so are brave enough to take the pair to task—their alliance is useful
because it expands your character’s pool of potential allies. After all,
there’s a famous saying in Alkenstar: “A bullet for my enemy aims as true in
any gun.”
</p>
<h2>The Heist</h2>

"
;=""
/>
<p>
In the days immediately preceding the beginning of this Adventure Path, your
character received word of a potentially lucrative job opportunity.
Apparently, a mysterious job broker is looking for a party of outlaws to rob a
bank called the Gold Tank Reserve in Ferrous Quarter. The employer is Foebe
Dunsmith, a tavern proprietor and barkeep much beloved by the rough and rowdy
clientele of her storied watering hole, the Bullet &amp; Barrel Saloon.
Dunsmith’s promised payment for the heist might be tantalizing, depending on
how hard up your character is. More importantly, though, is the fact that the
Gold Tank is owned by none other than Ambrost Mugland, and some of the gold
that flows through it eventually finds its ways into the pockets of Anjelique
Loveless and her league of crooked shieldmarshals.
</p>
<p>
With the goal of hitting your nemesis where it hurts most—the coin
purse—you’ve decided to take up Dunsmith on her job offer. To pull off such an
audacious stunt, you’ll be working alongside a handful of other outlaws who
also bear grudges against Mugland or Loveless. If you’ve any hopes of
succeeding at all, you’ll need to befriend these fellow felons and coordinate
your tactics, at least until you’ve gotten your sweet revenge.
</p>
<p>
在《霾都狂徒》冒险之路中，你和你的队友将扮演通缉犯的角色，你们必须按在法律之外游走以获得财富和自由，你们的终极目标有两个：清洗罪名，同时也要让毁了你人生的恶棍付出代价。
</p>
<p>
继续阅读这一部分可以帮你了解更多关于法外狂徒身份的含义、让你身败名裂的仇敌、以及即将到来的复仇机会。
</p>
<h2>法外狂徒 Outlawed</h2>
<p>
在这场冒险之路的开头，你的角色会被假定为一个法外狂徒——臭名昭著的恶棍，被通缉的叛徒，或者蒙受不公正指控的逃犯——目前正在逃亡途中，并且被阿肯斯塔官方以少则一两条多则一打的罪名起诉。你面临的指控可能是轻微的犯罪（如非法侵入、扒窃或非法闯入），也可能是重大犯罪（叛国罪、越狱或谋杀），也可能介乎两者之间。你可能在完全了解罪行后果的前提下犯罪，或者你认为自己在做正确的事，或者你别无选择。也许你根本没做错任何事，整件事只是个严重的误会或被人坑了。无论具体原因如何，你已经引起了阿肯斯塔官方警卫队——也就是盾勋执法官（shieldmarshals）的注意。
</p>
<p>
现在，为了保住你的自由并最终洗清你的罪名，你必须逃避法律的制裁，在法律之外行事。这意味着你必须在公众面前伪装自己，你必须谨慎行事，以避免引起别人对自己的过度关注，你的其他盟友要么跟你一样被通缉，要么在经过长时间的艰难思考之后才决定帮助你。上流社会没有人敢于站在你这边，你也找不到什么正经工作。
</p>
<p>
你是如何让自己陷入如此困境的？被指控的所谓的不当行为的具体细节由你自己设定。为了得到一些灵感或启发，你可以查阅11页的新背景@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ooalk01player.JournalEntryPage.01charactersug00]{Backgrounds}。这些背景还会为你提供一条重要线索：让你身败名裂的仇人的名字
<p>
<aside class="引用">
<h1 class="no-toc">运行本次冒险之路</h1>
<p>
游玩 《霾都狂徒》是非常棒的体验，但作为主持人运行这套冒险也同样有趣。如果你打算自己开团，非常简单，拿起该系列的第一卷，AP#178《一触即爆》（Punks in a Powder Keg），这本书包含 1-3 级的完整冒险。你可以在当地的实体店或 <i>paizo.com</i>上购买这本书。
</p>
<p>
在你们完成第一卷冒险之后，你可以在第二卷《石英摇篮》（Cradle of Quartz）和第三卷《证据确凿》（The Smoking Gun）中将令人兴奋的阿肯斯塔冒险故事继续下去。.
</p>
</aside>
<h2>超级大佬 Gunmetal Grudge</h2>
<p>
即使你的角色注定要为自己的恶行付出代价，但你的角色的大部分恶名都要归咎于两个声名狼藉的阿肯斯塔恶棍：臭名昭著的腐败副警长安洁丽卡·洛夫莱斯（Deputy Anjelique Loveless）或寡廉鲜耻的金融寡头安布罗斯特·穆格兰（Ambrost Mugland）。11页的背景正是为了专门解释你的角色为什么会和洛夫莱斯或穆格兰结怨而设计的，但你可以自由选择其中一个恶棍作为你的死敌，并根据你的喜好设定你角色的深仇大恨。
</p>
<p>
无论是这两个恶棍中的哪个让你的角色蒙冤，在阿肯斯塔，洛夫莱斯和穆格兰相互勾结已经是一个公开的秘密了。他们在各自的领域内运用自己强大而独特的影响力为双方牟利，这让他们变得几乎不受法律和秩序的约束——即便是当权者也没有勇气对付他们——该联盟至少还有点正面意义，因为你们能获得更多潜在的盟友。毕竟在阿肯斯塔有句俗话叫：“送给敌人的子弹可以在任何一把枪里。”
</p>
<h2>大劫案 The Heist</h2>
<img class="float-right" src="modules/pf2e-ap178-180-outlaws-of-alkenstar/assets/art/FOEBE_DUNSMITH_PORTRAIT_FINAL.webp" alt style="shape-outside:url('modules/pf2e-ap178-180-outlaws-of-alkenstar/assets/art/FOEBE_DUNSMITH_PORTRAIT_FINAL.webp')" />
<p>
在本次冒险之路开始前几天，你的角色会得到一个潜在的有利可图的工作机会。显然，一个神秘的职业掮客正在寻找一群不法之徒去抢劫铁区一家叫做黄金储备（Gold Tank）的银行。雇主是菲比·邓史密斯，是当地著名酒吧”枪管和子弹“的老板兼酒保，深受店里吵闹、粗鲁的顾客们的喜爱。邓史密斯开出的劫案报酬可能是十分诱人的，这取决于你的角色有多穷困潦倒。然而，更重要的是，黄金储备的所有者不是别人，正是安布罗斯特·穆格兰，而流经这家银行的一些黄金最终会落入安洁丽卡·洛夫莱斯和他手下腐败的盾勋执法官的口袋。
</p>
<p>
为了打击你仇敌的钱袋子，你接受了邓史密斯的工作邀请。要干成这票大的，你必须和其他同样对穆格兰或洛夫莱斯心怀怨恨的几个亡命徒一同合作。如果你希望取得成功，你有必要和犯罪同伙们交朋友并和他们展开战术配合，至少在你完成你甜蜜的复仇之前应当如此。

角色建议 Character Suggestions
entries.Outlaws of Alkenstar - Player's Guide.journals.Players Guide.pages.Character Suggestions.text

<p>
Though you’re free to create any kind of character you like for the Outlaws of
Alkenstar Adventure Path, the following suggestions are designed to help you
make a character well suited for this campaign. These suggestions are
summarized on the table on page 9, which lists character options from strongly
recommended to not recommended.
</p>
<h2>Alignments</h2>
<p>
Because you and your friends will be taking on the roles of outlaws, it makes
sense that your character might be someone who lives outside typical legal
parameters or codes of ethics. Because of this, chaotic good and chaotic
neutral are ideal choices for your character’s alignment. Such characters
likely find themselves frequently at odds with Alkenstar’s highly regimented
powers that be, including the Temple of
@Compendium[pf2e.deities.vEMCpm7iidycRT5D]{Brigh} (most of whose devotees tend
to be lawful neutral), shieldmarshals (guards charged with upholding the
letter of the law), and the many famous guilds, private armies, and shadowy
corporations whose strict, regimented systems keep the city’s denizens in
lockstep with power brokers’ fiscal and industrial aims.
</p>
<p>
On the other hand, although your character ostensibly broke the law, they
might have been wrongfully accused, framed, or set up. Even if they did commit
the crime that’s led to their outlaw status, perhaps your character follows a
personal code that, while structured and methodical, simply doesn’t mesh with
Alkenstar’s conceptions of law and order. If so, lawful neutral or lawful good
are great alignment options.
</p>
<p>
As in nearly all Pathfinder Adventure Paths, evil alignments are best suited
for your party’s enemies, not your character. Though your character begins the
adventure as an outlaw and might even be a selfish antihero, the campaign
won’t put you in positions where you have to commit heinous or evil deeds.
Likewise, it’s assumed that the deeds that made your character a wanted
criminal weren’t motivated by greed, malevolence, or depravity (or, if they
were, your character has had a dramatic and sincere change of heart between
the crime and the beginning of the campaign). As usual, intentionally
committing atrocities or victimizing others will make it much harder for you
to work with your party and potential allies who don’t want anything to do
with evildoers.
</p>
<h2>Ancestries</h2>
<p>
Alkenstar is home to a wide variety of ancestries and ethnicities, though the
majority of its inhabitants are humans, particularly ethnic Garundi closely
descended from Nexian and Gebbite immigrants. Since the city’s founding over a
century ago, plenty of other diverse peoples have found their footing here,
including Mwangi from west of the Barrier Peaks or south of Geb, Keleshites
from as near as Katapesh or Qadira or as far as Kelesh, and Vudrani from
Jalmeray or elsewhere across the Obari Ocean.
</p>
<p>
Dwarves are the city’s second-most populous ancestry, many hailing from the
nearby Sky Citadel of Dongun Hold. It was Dongun dwarves who supplied the
first firearms to Ancil Alkenstar’s burgeoning community of technologists and
magic-weary refugees. Today, Dongun dwarves continue to be regarded as among
the best gunsmiths and explosives engineers in the world.
</p>
<p>
Jaric halflings and Vourinoi elves are far from unknown in Alkenstar—Ambrost
Mugland and Anjelique Loveless are only two of the most famous examples,
respectively. Roughly as common as these are gnolls and geniekin, the latter
of which are perhaps more common than usual in Alkenstar due, in part, to the
mysterious effects of mana storms on mortal bloodlines.
</p>
<p>
Finally, a notable number of Gebbite dhampirs and Nexian fleshwarps—comprising
a combination of temporary visitors, traveling adventurers, and full-blown
expatriates—also call the City of Smog home. Perhaps more than any other
ancestries, these individuals are uniquely suited to Alkenstar’s industrial
environment; hazardous pollutants and smog are of less concern to undead, and
fleshwarps too often boast anatomies that lessen the severity of environmental
dangers.
</p>
<p>
For more details on these ancestries and others that call Alkenstar home, see
the Pathfinder Lost Omens Ancestry Guide.
</p>
<h2>Classes</h2>
<p>
Alkenstar is the Inner Sea’s preeminent hub of technological and industrial
innovation. In the City of Smog, the quickest way to gain power, prestige, or
profit is to invent something that other people want; this holds as true for
adventurers as it does for aristocrats and common folk. Because scientific
experimentation and progress are keystones of daily life in Alkenstar,
alchemists and inventors (Pathfinder Guns &amp; Gears 15–33) do extremely well
as a general rule. Whether by mixing rare reagents collected from the Mana
Wastes or by tinkering with the literal tons of scrap that fill Alkenstar’s
junkyards, there are countless opportunities for old-time residents and
newcomers alike to practice the skills necessary to become accomplished in
either of these fields.
</p>
<p>
The same can be said for the gunslinger class (Guns &amp; Gears 105–119),
which is probably more common in Alkenstar than in any other corner of the
Inner Sea region. Alkenstar’s proximity to Dongun Hold—the birthplace of black
powder—means that firearms aren’t just easily accessible, but practically
commonplace. Mercenaries, monster slayers, bounty hunters, and criminals all
might call themselves gunslingers, though only a few ever exhibit the true
grit necessary to make it to the big leagues. The most talented shootists and
desperados command a high price as guns-for-hire or swiftly rise through the
ranks of organizations such as the shieldmarshals, making the gunslinger class
a natural fit for this campaign.
</p>
<p>
For the full rules on gunslingers and inventors, see Pathfinder Guns &amp;
Gears.
</p>
<p>
Beyond these three thematically suitable classes—alchemists, gunslingers, and
inventors—characters of any class well-suited for urban adventuring can hope
to succeed in the Outlaws of Alkenstar Adventure Path. Investigators and
rogues can uncover countless mysteries and hidden treasures on the streets of
the City of Smog, and swashbucklers and bards can likewise find opportunities
for escapades and entertainment at every turn.
</p>
<p>
For all of Alkenstar’s emphasis on technological novelties and progress, it’s
sometimes hard to beat a well-placed punch or a masterfully executed sword
swing. The fearsome threat of monsters encroaching from the Mana Wastes makes
adventurous martial experts of all stripes—such as fighters, monks, and
barbarians—always in high demand.
</p>
<p>
On the spiritual side of things, clerics, champions, and other pious
adventurers might strongly consider
@Compendium[pf2e.deities.vEMCpm7iidycRT5D]{Brigh}, the Whisper in Bronze and
patron goddess of clockwork inventors, as their deity. The Temple of Brigh in
Alkenstar is the largest organized church dedicated to the Bronze Lady in the
Inner Sea region. Ever-orderly
@Compendium[pf2e.deities.d56paSkcwvll2OhR]{Abadar} is also a popular deity
with Alkenstar’s most cosmopolitan believers. At the other extreme,
comfort-eschewing wasteland wanderers vastly prefer the age-old wisdom of the
divine hunter, @Compendium[pf2e.deities.mm1j6UbHqFCI8fwB]{Erastil}. Finally,
many Dongun dwarves pay stalwart homage to
@Compendium[pf2e.deities.sZrdzh0ANQnZGXJb]{Torag}, Father of Dwarvenkind, and
honor him with creative spins on ancient traditions.
</p>
<p>
Because of the surrounding region’s unique climate—magic-warping mana storms
are relatively common outside the city’s walls—druids, wizards, summoners, and
sorcerers don’t flock to Alkenstar as a rule, but they aren’t necessarily
unknown either. The few arcane spellcasters who intentionally travel to
Alkenstar often do so in the hopes of attending Blythir College, the city’s
only official academy of magic. Sorcerers and druids are more likely to dwell
on the city’s outskirts, where they can better tap into the mysterious powers
of so-called wellspring magic (Pathfinder Secrets of Magic 248).
</p>
<p>
Many spellcasters living in the City of Smog are exiles from Geb or Nex, where
they likely first gained their penchant for ancient necromantic secrets or
universal arcane truths, respectively. Witches, magi, and oracles similarly
travel to the Mana Wastes for their own mysterious reasons, and their
unorthodox relationship with esoterica makes them perhaps a bit more common in
the weird and wild Mana Wastes.
</p>
<h2>Languages</h2>
<p>
Owing to its cosmopolitan cultural makeup, the Grand Duchy of Alkenstar’s
official language is Common (Taldane), though the high population of dwarves
(especially dwarves from Dongun Hold) makes Dwarven nearly as ubiquitous. The
most successful merchants and travelers also take it upon themselves to learn
Kelish, a language commonly spoken in nearby nations like Geb, Nex, and
Katapesh.
</p>
<p>
In the wastelands beyond Alkenstar’s walls, roving bandits, violent mutated
giants, and horrific monsters tend to speak Gnoll, Jotun, Aklo, or a pidgin of
all three. Those who deal with evildoers could do far worse than to practice
one of these tongues as well.
</p>
<h2>Skills and Feats</h2>
<p>
Alkenstar is a city of inventors and makers; thus, virtually everyone has at
least a bit of training in the Crafting skill, which is useful not just for
making and repairing things, but also identifying the many different kinds of
clockwork creatures that roam the city. By the same token, anyone who expects
to be fighting or evading clockworks and their masters would do well to study
Thievery as a means of disabling devices.
</p>
<p>
Even for those with supernatural means of avoiding arrest, prowess in
Athletics or Acrobatics can often spell the difference between capture and
escape. Likewise, silver-tongued outlaws can benefit greatly from expertise in
social skills like Deception, Diplomacy, Intimidation, or Society. Although
Performance can be useful for creating diversions, a knack for Religion might
be even more practical in a settlement whose predominant church—the Temple of
Brigh—functions like an essential cog in daily goings-on. Of course, when all
else fails, there’s always pure and simple Stealth, an invaluable addition to
any outlaw’s skill repertoire.
</p>
<p>
Although Nature and Survival are of minimal use in Alkenstar proper, the
outskirts of the city are rife with animals and environmental dangers, making
naturalists and survivalists useful in certain situations. While Medicine and
Occultism are always useful skills to have on hand, neither will open any
special doors in this campaign.
</p>
<p>
Among the subcategories of the Lore skill, Alkenstar Lore, Brigh Lore, and
Engineering Lore are highly relevant throughout this Adventure Path.
</p>
<p>
Suitable feats include any that complement your character concept and/or play
into the above skills. As an outlaw, your character might particularly benefit
from feats that could help you survive on the outskirts of proper society or
without the assistance of the law. Likewise, because Alkenstar’s architecture
is so tightly packed together, feats that increase mobility in close quarters
will typically be more useful than those which require a Large animal
companion or mount to enjoy. The
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ooalk01player.JournalEntryPage.01suggestedcha00]{table}
includes lists of specific feats to consider for your character.
</p>
<h2>Backgrounds</h2>
<p>
Though you can choose any common background for your character (including the
ones starting on page 60 of the Core Rulebook; the criminal background is
particularly appropriate), the following new backgrounds are designed
specifically for the Outlaws of Alkenstar Adventure Path. You can use these
backgrounds to inspire personality traits and details that tie your character
to Alkenstar.
</p>
<p>
Additionally, each of the following backgrounds includes a reason for your
character to seek revenge against one of two villains who wronged you: the
nefarious mogul Ambrost Mugland or the corrupt shieldmarshal Anjelique
Loveless.

<p>
虽然你可以自由为《霾都狂徒》创建任何你喜欢的角色，但以下建议将让你的角色更适合本战役。这些建议将汇总在第9页的表格中，从强烈推荐到不推荐依次罗列。
</p>
<h2>阵营 Alignments</h2>
<p>
因为你和你的朋友将扮演法外狂徒的角色，所以你的角色可能是一个生活在通常的法律约束和道德规范之外的人。正因为如此，混乱善良和混乱中立是你最理想的阵营选择。这样的角色会经常与阿肯斯塔高度管制的权力体制发生冲突，这包括布莱神殿@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.vEMCpm7iidycRT5D]{Brigh} （大多数信徒倾向于守序中立）、盾勋执法官（警队负责执行法律）、和许多著名的行会、私人武装、影子公司等，这种严格的管制保证了这座城市的居民与权力掮客的财政和工业目标相一致。
</p>
<p>
另一方面，虽然你的角色表面上违反了法律，但它可能遭到错误的指控、栽赃或陷害。即便它确实犯下的导致自己成为法外狂徒的罪行，但你的角色依然会遵循某种有组织性和有条理性的个人准则，但是和阿肯斯塔官方的法律和秩序理念相违背。在这样的情况下，守序中立或守序善良将是很不错的阵营选择。
</p>
<p>
在几乎所有的开拓者冒险之路中，邪恶阵营都是反派而不是你角色的最佳选择。虽然你的角色一开始是个法外狂徒，甚至可能是一个自私的反英雄，但战役不会让你做出令人发指或邪恶的行为。同样地，本冒险假设，导致你的角色成为通缉犯的行为并不是由贪婪、恶毒或堕落的动机所驱使的（或者，如果是这样的话，你的角色在从犯下罪行到战役开始的这段时间内会经历戏剧性地洗心革面）。像往常一样，故意实施暴行或伤害他人会让你更难与你的队友和潜在的盟友合作，因为他们不想与那些真正作恶多端的人有任何交集。
</p>
<h2>族裔 Ancestries</h2>
<p>
阿肯斯塔是各种族裔和传承的家园，尽管它的居民大部分为人类，尤其是以奈克斯人（Nexian）和盖布人（Gebbite）移民为主的、具有异域风情的加仑德人（Garundi）。自一个世纪之前城市建立伊始，已经有许多不同的人移民到这里，包括从西部屏障峰或南方盖布移民过来芒吉人（Mwangi）、从附近的卡塔佩什（Katapesh）或卡蒂亚（Qadira），甚至遥远的珂莱士（Kelesh）移民过来的珂莱士人（Keleshites），从扎摩诔（Jalmeray）或从其他地方远渡奥巴里洋来到这里的伏陀罗人（Vudrani）。
</p>
<p>
矮人是这座城市人口第二多的族裔，许多矮人来自附近的天空要塞顿加堡。正是顿加堡矮人给阿肯斯塔日益增多的技术人员和厌恶魔法的难民们带来了第一批火器。
</p>
<p>
雅里奇半身人（Jaric halflings）和沃里诺半精灵（Vourinoi elves）在阿肯斯塔较为常见——安洁丽卡·洛夫莱斯和安布罗斯特·穆格兰是两个著名的代表。类似的还有鬣狗人（gnolls）和巨灵裔（geniekin），但是后者更为罕见，部分起源于法力风暴对于人类族裔的影响。
</p>
<p>
最后是为数众多的盖布吸血裔（Gebbite dhampirs）和奈克斯塑肉体（Nexian fleshwarps）——包括临时访客、旅居的冒险者和完全的外籍人士——也把这座霾都当做家园。也许相比其他族裔，这些族裔更能适应阿肯斯塔的工业环境。对于不死生物来说，有毒的污染物和雾霾没有那么严重的影响，而塑肉体们常常吹嘘自己的生理结构可以减轻环境对自身的危害。
</p>
<p>
想了解更多这些族裔和其他把阿肯斯塔当做家园的族裔的细节，请详阅《预言破灭之年族裔指南》（Lost Omens Ancestry Guide）。
</p>
<h2>职业 Classes</h2>
<p>
阿肯斯塔是内海卓越的技术和工业发明的中心。在霾都，获得权力、声望或利益的最佳方式就是发明别人想要的东西；对冒险者、贵族或平民来说都是如此。因为在阿肯斯塔， 科技实验和进步是日常生活的基石，所以炼金术士和发明家（《枪械全书》15-33页）在这里表现出色。无论是通过混合从法力废土收集来的稀有炼金试剂，还是通过修补阿肯斯塔垃圾场中成吨的废料，新老居民都有无数机会来锻炼在这些领域中取得成就所必需的技艺。
</p>
<p>
同样的情况也适用于枪手（《枪械全书》105–119页），这类角色在阿肯斯塔比内海其他任何地区都更为常见。阿肯斯塔离黑火药的诞生地顿加堡很近，这意味着火器不仅很容易获得，并且满大街都是。雇佣兵、怪物杀手、赏金猎人和罪犯都可能自称为枪手，尽管只有少数人才能跻身最优秀者之列。最具天赋的枪手和亡命徒往往能被人以高价雇佣，或者在像盾勋执法官这样的组织里迅速晋升，因此枪手也非常适合这次冒险。
</p>
<p>
关于发明家和枪手的详细规则，请详阅《枪械全书》（Guns & Gears）。
</p>
<p>
除了以上三个最适合游戏主题的职业——炼金术士、枪手和发明家之外，任何适合城市冒险的职业都能在《霾都狂徒》的冒险之路中游刃有余。在霾都的街头，调查员和游荡者可以解开城市无数的秘密和宝藏，而浪客和吟游诗人们也能在每个角落找到冒险和娱乐的机会。
</p>
<p>
尽管阿肯斯塔强调技术的革新和进步，但科技有时也比不上精妙的拳法或是娴熟的剑术。来自法力废土可怕的怪物威胁让各种勇于冒险的武斗家——比如战士、武僧、和野蛮人广受欢迎。
</p>
<p>
在精神方面，牧师、神卫和其他虔诚的冒险者可能会狂热地将@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.vEMCpm7iidycRT5D]{布莱 Brigh}——青铜耳语、发条发明者的守护神——视为他们信仰的神祇。位于阿肯斯塔的布莱神殿是内海地区最大的供奉青铜女士的神殿。向来崇尚秩序的@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.d56paSkcwvll2OhR]{阿巴达尔 Abadar} 也是深受阿肯斯塔大部分来自世界各地的信徒们欢迎的神祇。在另一个极端，远离舒适生活的废土游民们更喜欢老神猎 @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.mm1j6UbHqFCI8fwB]{埃拉斯蒂尔 Erastil}。最后，许多顿加堡矮人都坚定地崇敬着矮人天父@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.sZrdzh0ANQnZGXJb]{托拉格 Torag}，根据矮人的传统建造了许多圣柱来敬拜祂。
</p>
<p>
因为独特的气候条件，扭曲魔法的法力风暴在城外更常见，因此德鲁伊、法师、召唤师和术士很少会聚集在阿肯斯塔城里，但他们也并非不为人知。少数奥术施法者专门前往阿肯斯塔，目的是进入布莱瑟学院（Blythir College）——这座城市官方的魔法学院学习。德鲁伊和术士更有可能居住在城市的郊区，在那里他们可以更好地利用所谓的源泉魔法的神秘力量（《魔法之秘》Secrets of Magic 248页）。
</p>
<p>
许多居住在霾都的施法者都是来自奈克斯或盖布的流亡者，他们可能是在这两个地方开始对古老的巫术秘密或晦涩的魔法真理产生兴趣的。因此，女巫、魔战士和先知会为了他们神秘的目标而前往法力废土，他们和神秘事物的非常关系让他们在怪异狂野的法力废土更为常见一些。
</p>
<h2>语言 Languages</h2>
<p>
由于其国际化的文化构成，阿肯斯塔大公国的官方语言是通用语（塔尔多语），但是矮人（尤其是顿加堡矮人）因占了很大的人口比例，导致矮人语在生活中无处不在。最成功的商人和旅行者也会学习珂莱士语，这是一种在邻国例如盖布、奈克斯或卡塔佩什普遍使用的语言。
</p>
<p>
在阿肯斯塔城外的荒原上，四处游荡的强盗、暴力且变异的巨人、可怕的怪物们往往会说鬣狗人语、巨人语、邪灵语，或三种语言的混合语言。那些和恶徒打交道的人，如果不会说其中一种语言的话会陷入尴尬的境地。
</p>
<h2>技能和专长 Skills and Feats</h2>
<p>
阿肯斯塔是发明家和创造者的城市；因此，几乎所有人都有那么一点手艺，这不仅有助于制造和修理东西，还有助于识别漫步在城中的各种不同类型的发条生物。出于同样的原因，任何想要对抗或躲避发条装置和它们主人的人都应该将贼活作为一种解除装置的手段来研究。
</p>
<p>
即便那些拥有超自然手段来避免被捕的人来说，在面临抓捕的时候，特技和运动同样也是非常重要的逃跑技能。同样，能言善辩的法外狂徒们也能从诸如欺骗、交涉、威吓或社群等技能中获益良多。虽然表演技能在创造娱乐方面很有用，但是在日常生活中扮演重要角色的宗教场合——布莱神殿这类地方，宗教的窍门可能会更加实用。当然，当其他所有方法都行不通时，简单而纯粹的隐秘技能对于任何法外狂徒来说都极其宝贵的后手。
</p>
<p>
虽然自然和生存在阿肯斯塔城内本身用处不大，但城市郊区到处都是动物和环境危害，这使得自然和生存在某些情况下非常有用。虽然医疗和神秘总能找到用武之地，但在这场冒险中并没有什么特殊作用。
</p>
<p>
对于学识技能的子题来说，阿肯斯塔学识、布莱学识和工程学识都和整个冒险之路高度相关。
</p>
<p>
合适的专长包括任何可以补充你角色概念或发挥上述技能的专长。作为一名法外狂徒，能够帮助你在社会边缘与法律保护之外生存的专长尤为有用。同样地，因为阿肯斯塔的布局如此紧凑，所以在短距离内增加机动性的专长通常比那些需要大型动物伴侣或坐骑才能享受的专长更有有用。第7页的表格@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ooalk01player.JournalEntryPage.01suggestedcha00]{table}列出了你的角色需要考虑的特殊专长列表。
</p>
<h2>背景 Backgrounds</h2>
<p>
尽管你可以为角色选择任何常见背景（包括《核心规则书》第60页的背景；罪犯criminal背景尤其合适），以下新背景是专门为《霾都狂徒》冒险之路专门设计的。你可以使用这些背景进一步挖掘那些将你的角色和阿肯斯塔紧密联系在一起的个性特征和细节。
</p>
<p>
此外，以下每种背景都包含了你向两个让你获罪的大恶人之一——邪恶的大亨安布罗斯特·穆格兰或腐败的盾勋执法官安洁丽卡·洛夫莱斯寻求报复的理由。

<h2 class="no-toc">Banished Brighite</h2>
<p>@Compendium[pf2e.backgrounds.U1gbRkmZqJ7SmpeF]{See background here}</p>
<p>
Once, you were a dedicated and important priest of @Compendium[pf2e.deities.vEMCpm7iidycRT5D]{Brigh}, goddess of
clockwork and invention, based out of the largest church to your deity, the Temple of Brigh in Alkenstar. Here, you
made important discoveries in the annals of your religion’s canon and furthered the Bronze Lady’s agendas of
innovation and creation. Your future seemed bright, and you predicted that it was only a matter of time until you
ascended to the rank of primary cog or, someday, grand cog.
</p>
<p>
Then, your years of devout service were undone in an instant. A man named Ambrost Mugland came to the Temple and
demanded not only access to the religious formulas you’d been uncovering, but exclusive rights to the precious
knowledge. When you refused, Mugland sent word to the church’s leaders that you’d been meddling in heretical
doctrine. He also implicated you in the theft of church funds that had mysteriously gone missing as of late. Sure
enough, you found yourself being asked to hand in your robes. Your church colleagues didn’t turn you in, but they
told you in no uncertain terms that you wouldn’t be able to find sanctuary for your alleged crimes in the halls of
the Temple of @Compendium[pf2e.deities.vEMCpm7iidycRT5D]{Brigh}.
</p>
<p>
On the run and with nowhere to turn, your faith has been thoroughly tested, though so far you’ve remained true to
your religion and maintained your sacred skills and divine powers. It’s unclear what the Bronze Lady has in store
for you, but at least one thing’s for certain: Ambrost Mugland will pay for what he did.
</p>
<p>Choose two ability boosts. One must be to Intelligence or Wisdom, and one is a free ability boost.</p>
<p>
You’re trained in the Religion skill and the Brigh Lore skill. You gain the
@Compendium[pf2e.feats-srd.IlOQuCQIhjJpig3S]{Quick Identification} skill feat.

<p>
曾经，你是齿轮与发明之神布莱的祭司，虔诚且颇有地位，内海最大的布莱教堂——阿肯斯塔的布莱神殿中侍奉你的女神。在这里，你埋首于布莱的宗教典籍，并且有了重大发现，大大促进了青铜夫人发明和创造的计划。你的前途看起来一片光明，你预测自己晋升为初阶齿轮（primary cog）甚至高阶齿轮（grand cog）阶层只是时间问题。
<p>
然后你多年的虔诚服务顷刻间化为乌有。一个叫做安布罗斯特·穆格兰的家伙来到神殿，不仅要求你提供所发现的宗教公式，更声称拥有这些珍贵知识的专利权。你当你表示拒绝之后，穆格兰就通知教会领袖说你一直在鼓噪异端邪说，他还暗示你和最近发生的教堂资金的神秘盗窃案有关。果不其然，你被剥夺了你的教会长袍。你的教会同僚们没有向当局告发你，但明确地告诉你，@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.vEMCpm7iidycRT5D]{布莱 Brigh}神殿不会为你的罪行提供庇护。
</p>
<p>
被迫逃亡之后，你无处藏身，你的信仰遭受了彻底的考验，尽管到目前为止，你仍然忠于你的女神，保留着你的神圣技能和神术力量。现在，虽然你不知道青铜夫人为你准备了什么，但至少有一件事是肯定的：安布罗斯特·穆格兰必须为他的所作所为付出代价。
</p>
<p>选择两项属性提升，一项必须为智力或感知，另一项为自选属性提升。</p>

<p>@Compendium[pf2e.backgrounds.eHfsMNiVeqwnrpG3]{See background here}</p>
<p>
Everyone knows that Ferrous Quarter isn’t exactly the nicest part of Alkenstar. Hard-working laborers, gunsmiths
suffering from black lung, and red-eyed tinkerers alike can toil their entire lives on these grimy streets and still
wind up dead in an alley with nothing to show for it. You were once one of these humble artisans, until one day, out
of nowhere, things broke bad.
</p>
<p>
Maybe you hung out with the wrong crowd. Maybe it was just bad luck. Whatever the case, you were framed for a crime
you didn’t commit—larceny, smuggling, possibly even murder. You didn’t stick around long enough to find out what,
exactly, the shieldmarshals banging on your door were charging you with. Now, you’re on the lam, uncertain where
you’ll be able to get a good night’s sleep, let alone your next meal.
</p>
<p>
At least one thing’s for sure, though: before you turned heel and ran into the streets, you saw a telltale signature
on the arrest warrant. It was the scrawl of a corrupt shieldmarshal who’s framed countless other hardworking folks
in your neighborhood on the basis of cooked-up evidence. Yes, you’re sure of it—the crooked guard who took you down
is none other than Deputy Anjelique Loveless, and you’re determined to return the favor.

Gaining admission to Blythir College is a difficult task, even for Alkenstar’s most well-to-do families. In the
magic-warped Mana Wastes, it’s next to impossible to fake arcane talents or alchemical aptitude. So when you were
accepted to the school, it was one of the most triumphant moments of your life.
</p>
<p>
Unfortunately, your victory was short-lived. Just as you were you making significant headway on a promising series
of explosive experiments, you found a letter on your desk informing you that, effective immediately, you were
permanently expelled from Blythir College. As bogus as the punishment was, the charges leveled against you were even
more puzzling: theft of property, both intellectual and physical. And just like that, you found your prestigious
honors replaced with a ruined reputation, and your colleagues and mentors became bitter rivals and accusers. In an
instant, you’d gone from promising scholar to wanted criminal.
</p>
<p>
You followed the money for answers and learned that a shady financier named Ambrost Mugland didn’t want you to
finish your research at Blythir. He’d learned that you were on the brink of a great discovery—one that even you
weren’t fully aware of—and he decided that your imminent breakthrough would be bad for business. Unfortunately for
Mugland, he chose the wrong student to destroy. Now, you’ll do whatever’s necessary to get your revenge on the
villain who stole the future you had worked so hard to build for yourself.

<h1 class="no-toc">Alkenstar, City of Smog</h1>
<p>
In the heart of the war-torn Mana Wastes, a metropolis of industry,
innovation, and intrigue awaits travelers hardy enough to make the journey.
Beneath the towering gaze of brass spires and stone fortresses, amid a
tangle of oil-slicked streets and soot-stained alleys, human inventors and
their clockwork creations walk beside mutated gnoll scavengers,
bronze-masked religious zealots, and fire-fleshed geniekin merchants. Many
spend their days toiling without respite in grimy workshops or smoky
factories. Others patrol the cobblestone streets for their fortunes, one
hand firmly on their holstered sidearms, ready to confront a rival gang or
runaway bounty.&nbsp;All the while, pistons, gears, and cogs within every
machine and building turn as steadily as the hands of a clock, all
maintaining the mechanical rhythm of a settlement that never truly sleeps.
This is Alkenstar, the City of Smog.
</p>
<p>
Outlaws of Alkenstar begins in the eponymous city. Whether your character is
Alkenstar-born, a first- or second-generation immigrant, or a total
newcomer, it’s worthwhile to master some of the City of Smog’s basic
nomenclature. The following is some basic information about Alkenstar known
to most locals and visitors alike.
</p>
<aside class="sidebar">
<h1 class="no-toc">Where on Golarion</h1>
<p>
The Outlaws of Alkenstar Adventure Path starts in the city of Alkenstar,
an industrial and technological mecca in the Mana Wastes of eastern
Garund. For more information about the Mana Wastes and Alkenstar, see
pages 195–199 of Pathfinder Guns &amp; Gears or pages 74–76 of the
Pathfinder Lost Omens World Guide.

</aside>
<h2>Places of Note</h2>
<p>
Alkenstar is a large city in an arid desert environment built atop the edge
of the 400-foot-tall
<strong>Hellfallen Cliffs</strong>. Formidable stone walls protect the city
on all sides from wasteland raiders. The easiest way into the city is via
the steady-flowing <strong>Ustradi River</strong>, which naturally bisects
Alkenstar.
</p>
<p>
In the center of the city is <strong>Alken Falls</strong>, a massive
waterfall set several hundred yards back from the rest of the Hellfallen
Cliffs to the north. Thousands of vessels traverse Alken Falls each year by
way of the <strong>Screw</strong>, a technological marvel that can raise or
lower multiple ships at a time from one end of the falls to the other.
</p>
<p>
The wealthy districts and neighborhoods south of the Ustradi are referred to
as <strong>Skyside</strong>, whereas the polluted, industrial quarters to
the north are collectively known as <strong>Smokeside</strong>. Within these
two major regions, the city is further subdivided into loosely defined
wards.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Smokeside is home to the quaint inventors’ neighborhood of
<strong>Steamhaven</strong>, peaceful <strong>Ustradi Heights</strong>,
and lively <strong>Ferrous Quarter</strong>.
</li>
<li>
In Skyside, one can attend swanky aristocratic galas in the
<strong>Capital District</strong>, peruse the many marketplaces of
<strong>Auburn District</strong>, or head to
<strong>Pilot’s Square</strong> to pay for passage aboard an airship or
dirigible bound for major ports along the eastern Garundi coastline.
</li>
<li>
A few city districts defy categorization into either Skyside or Smokeside,
including <strong>Hellside</strong>—a shantytown that literally hangs from
the side of the cliffs overlooking Alken Falls—and the monster-infested
ruins of <strong>Ironside Quarter</strong> along the city’s far western
wall.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Alkenstar’s major institutions include
<strong>Alkenstar Castle</strong> (from which the city’s elected politicians
hold court), the <strong>Temple of Brigh</strong> (overseen by the highly
influential priests of the goddess of clockwork), and
<strong>Blythir College</strong> (the city’s only major magical academy and
a hub of higher learning). Of course, as in any city, Alkenstar’s most
important cultural movements occur among its people, not its leaders. In the
sky-scraping towers of <strong>Graeson’s Fingers</strong> in the Capital
District or upscale establishments like the
<strong>Longhorn Lounge</strong>, socialites mingle and make deals behind
closed doors at ritzy soirees and gaudy galas, whose electric luxuries are
made possible only by the skilled engineers at the
<strong>Tinwound Hydroforge</strong>.
</p>
<p>
All the while, criminals both organized and independent haunt Alkenstar’s
alleyways, sewers, and seedy taverns like the
<strong>Hotfoot Hippodrome</strong>, where untold quantities of illicit
wealth are pushed through the city like so much lifeblood. At popular
saloons like the <strong>Barrel &amp; Bullet Saloon</strong>, impoverished
factory hands and honest laborers hold court from the fortress of a taproom
table and wielding only a mug of watery ale.
</p>
<p>
Beyond the city’s walls lie the <strong>Mana Wastes</strong>—a turbulent,
craggy desert irrevocably altered by centuries of magical warfare from the
neighboring, wizard-ruled nations of <strong>Nex</strong> and
<strong>Geb</strong>. Emigrants from either country are common in Alkenstar.
Many such expatriates are wanted by talented spellcasters, and so they come
to Alkenstar to exploit the region’s strange ambient effects on magic and
hide from their aggressors. Others are spellcasters themselves who wish to
experiment with their craft in the heart of the Mana Wastes.
</p>
<p>
Two geographical regions occupy most of the Mana Wastes: east of Alkenstar
to the Obari Ocean is the arid, storm–wracked
<strong>Spellscar Desert</strong>. On the city’s other side is the
<strong>Western Ravage</strong>, a craggy badland which spans the many miles
between Alkenstar and the Barrier Peaks.
</p>
<p>
Just 50 miles west of Alkenstar is the <strong>Gunworks</strong>, a sturdy
outpost of innovative metallurgists, ambitious gunsmiths, and seasoned
wasteland rangers. Here, a massive cannon called the Maw of Rovagug protects
the city from roving bandits and violent monsters.
</p>
<p>
Closer to Alkenstar proper is the dwarven Sky Citadel of Dongun Hold. It was
from the inventors and alchemists of
<strong>Dongun Hold</strong> that the settlers of Alkenstar first learned
the secrets of black powder and firearm technology. As a result of the
settlements’ decades of comingling, many Dongun dwarves can be found within
Alkenstar’s walls.
</p>
<h2>Notable Personas</h2>
<img class="float-right" src="modules/pf2e-ap178-180-outlaws-of-alkenstar/assets/art/BLACKPOWDER_BERSERKER.webp" alt="" style="
shape-outside: url('modules/pf2e-ap178-180-outlaws-of-alkenstar/assets/art/BLACKPOWDER_BERSERKER.webp');
" ;="">
<p>
Though the city’s rulers prefer to believe that their laws and norms make
Alkenstar a safe, orderly place to live, the truth is that power of all
kinds—monetary, social, alchemical—swaps hands as a matter of course.
</p>
<p>
Most of Alkenstar’s citizenry can be divided into either the working class
or the aristocratic elite. The former labor ceaselessly to produce goods,
services, and wealth, while the latter live to consume these resources.
Alkenstar’s best-known aristocrat is also the city’s leader, the popular and
savvy
<strong>Grand Duchess Trietta Ricia</strong>. Beyond politicians, the
aristocratic class also consists of the city’s money movers and power
brokers, including notorious financiers like
<strong>Ambrost Mugland</strong> and infamous iron-fisted shieldmarshals
like <strong>Deputy Anjelique Loveless</strong>. Lower on the social ladder
but no less impactful are charismatic rumormongers disguised as humble
workers, including the Bullet &amp; Barrel Saloon’s own shotgun-toting
barkeep, <strong>Foebe Dunsmith</strong>.
</p>
<p>
Beyond humans, dwarves, and other beings of flesh and blood, Alkenstar is
home to a diverse and populous class of clockwork servants. Incapable of
thought, feeling, or even (in most cases) any sensation at all, these
mechanical drones serve their creators diligently and without question.
Private companies and well-off individuals build or buy their own clockworks
to perform repetitive labor, private security, or miscellaneous errands.
Likewise, clockworks commissioned by the Grand Duchy fill less-desirable
civil roles—trash collecting, late guard shifts, road maintenance—so that
working-class laborers can keep their heads down and focus on the job at
hand. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, clockwork inventors wage their own
shadow wars and arms races to devise ever more impressive clockwork
creations.
</p>
<p>
In addition to inventors, Alkenstar is home to creators of nearly every
stripe, particularly alchemists and gunsmiths. Among this class of tinkers
and scholars, technological news and rumors of new innovations spread at the
speed of sound—often literally, considering the booming explosions that can
be heard from workshops and factories at nearly every hour of the day. For
example, recently, an eccentric alchemist named Vashon Gattlebee stunned
onlookers at his ill-fated exhibition at Blythir College, where he showed
off a devastating new explosive called pyronite. The pyronite incident, as
the exhibition has become known, sent shock waves throughout Alkenstar’s
scientific community, with nearly every metallurgist, engineer, and
researcher speculating upon the implications of this dramatic new weapon.
</p>
<h2>Magic in Alkenstar</h2>
<p>
The City of Smog has a reputation for favoring technological innovations
over supernatural ones. This is partially as a result of the city’s origins;
the expatriates who emigrated from the nations of Nex and Geb to found
Alkenstar were mostly renegades and exiles. They eschewed the strong magical
traditions of their wizard-ruled homelands in favor of different approaches
to common societal problems. The emergence of black powder technology from
nearby Dongun Hold only exacerbated newcomers’ preference for alchemy and
machines over wands and spellbooks.
</p>
<p>
Another reason for Alkenstar’s relative dearth of spellcasters comes from
its climate: the Mana Wastes are infamous for the devastating magical
siroccos that regularly sweep across the desert—“mana storms,” in the local
parlance. When a mana storm rolls in, spells and magical powers are much
more likely to go awry, so wise spellcasters sheathe their wands and
travelers run for cover. During such storms, a well-aimed fireball is just
as likely to hit its mark as warp into a spear of ice that backfires on its
caster. Thankfully, the walls around the city of Alkenstar protect those
inside the settlement proper from the worst effects of mana storms. Local
forecasts called whispersheets also offer reliable predictions for times of
day when magic might not function as intended.
</p>
<p>
In the Outlaws of Alkenstar Adventure Path, magic is assumed, by default, to
function reliably and as described in the Pathfinder Core Rulebook. This
means that you can play as a sorcerer, witch, or any other spellcaster
without fear of being at a disadvantage. The rare mana storm might
complicate matters once or twice during the campaign, but your characters
will be made aware of these events well in advance, giving you plenty of
time to prepare for situations that could dramatically impact your
character’s abilities.
</p>
<p>
That said, your GM might have other ideas in mind, particularly if the rest
of the group is interested in playing a campaign where magic is relatively
rare. If you plan to play a spellcaster class, make sure you and your GM are
on the same page regarding mana storms, whispersheets, and what effect (if
any) these elements might have on your adventures.
</p>
<h1 class="no-toc">霾都阿肯斯塔 Alkenstar, City of Smog</h1>
<p>
在饱受战争蹂躏的法力废土（Mana Wastes）的中心，一个工业发达、发明和阴谋盛行的大都市在等待着足够勇敢的旅行者启程。在高耸的黄铜尖塔和石头堡垒的注视下，在油光闪闪的街道和煤烟熏黑的小巷中，人类发明家和他们的发条装置穿行于变异的鬣狗人拾荒者、戴着青铜面具的宗教狂热者和浑身冒火的巨灵裔商人之间。许多人终日在肮脏的车间或烟雾缭绕的工厂里埋头苦干。另一些人则在鹅卵石街道上巡逻，寻找致富的机会，一只手坚定地握着装在枪套里的手枪，准备随时与敌对团伙或逃跑的悬赏犯对峙。与此同时，每台机器和建筑内部的活塞、齿轮和零件都像时钟的指针一样稳定地转动着，所有这些都维持着这座永不会真正入眠的城市的机械脉搏。
这就是霾都阿肯斯塔。
</p>
<p>
《《霾都狂徒》的故事将从霾都阿肯斯塔开始。无论你的角色是阿肯斯塔出生的、第一代或第二代移民，还是完全的外来者，掌握一些霾都的基本情况都是很有必要的，以下是大多数当地人和游客都知道的关于阿肯斯塔的一些基本信息。
</p>
<aside class="引用">
<h1 class="no-toc">在格拉利昂的什么地方？ Where on Golarion？</h1>

霾都狂徒的冒险始于霾都阿肯斯塔，它是加仑德东部的法力废土上的一座工业和科技圣地。关于法力废土和阿肯斯塔的更多信息，详阅《枪械全书》195-199页，或《预言破灭之年-世界指南》的74-76页部分。

<h2>值得注意的地点 Notable Personas</h2>
<p>
阿肯斯塔是个干旱沙漠环境的大都市，建造在400尺高的地狱绝壁（Hellfallen Cliffs）上。<strong>地狱绝壁 Hellfallen Cliffs</strong>. 吓人的石墙保护着城市的各个方面，使其免受废土入侵者的侵袭。进入这座城市最简单的方式是通过稳定流动的乌斯塔迪河（Ustradi River），这条河天然地将阿尔肯斯塔一分为二。
</p>
<p>
位于城市中心的 <strong>阿肯瀑布（Alken Falls）</strong>, 是一座巨大的瀑布，距离北面的地狱绝壁只有几百码距离。每年有成千上万条船通过 <strong>螺钉升船机（Screw）</strong>，跨越瀑布。螺钉升船机是一项技术奇迹，可以同时将多艘船只从瀑布一端送往另一端。
</p>
<p>
斯塔迪河南部较为富裕的地区和社区被称为<strong>天空城（Skyside）</strong>，而北部饱受污染的工业区则被称为<strong>雾霾城（Smokeside）</strong>. 在这两个主要城区内，城市被进一步细分为几个边界模糊的子区域。
</p>
<ul>
<li>
雾霾城内坐落着古怪发明家们的社区<strong>蒸汽港（Steamhaven）</strong>, 平静的 <strong>乌斯塔迪高地（Ustradi Heights）</strong>和生机勃勃的 <strong>亚铁区（Ferrous Quarter）</strong>。
</li>
<li>
在天空城，你可以参加<strong>财富区（Capital District）</strong>时髦的贵族盛会，在<strong>赤褐区（Auburn District）</strong>的众多商场中流连，或<strong>领航员广场（Pilot’s Square）</strong> 付钱乘坐飞艇前往加仑德东部沿岸的主要港口。
</li>
<li>
一些城区既无法划归天空城也无法划归雾霾城，包括 <strong>狱崖窟（Hellside）</strong>，这是个从悬崖上俯瞰阿肯瀑布的贫民窟，以及城市遥远的西部城墙之下、怪物横行的<strong>铁废区（Ironside Quarter）</strong>废墟。
</li>
</ul>
<p>
阿肯斯塔的主要机构包括<strong>阿肯斯塔堡 Alkenstar Castle</strong> （该城的民选议员们在这里议事）、<strong>布莱神殿 Temple of Brigh</strong> （由极具影响力的发条女神的祭司管理）、以及<strong>布莱瑟学院</strong> （该市唯一的主要魔法学院和高等教育中心）。 当然，就像任何一个城市一样，阿尔肯斯塔最重要的文化活动发源于它的人民而非领导者。在财富区的<strong>格雷森之指（Graeson’s Fingers）</strong>的摩天大楼，或者像<strong>长角酒廊（Longhorn Lounge）</strong>这样的高端消费场所，社交名流们在奢华晚宴和俗丽盛会上闭门交谈，进行交易。而这些场所中的电动奢侈品只有<strong>锡圈水电站（Tinwound Hydroforge）</strong>的老练工程师们才能创造出来。
</p>
<p>
与此同时，有组织的或独行的犯罪分子们常常出没于阿肯斯塔的小巷、下水道和像<strong>热步斗舞场（Hotfoot Hippodrome）</strong>这样破烂的小酒馆里，无数的非法财富通过这里，像血液一样在座城市里流动。像<strong>枪弹酒吧（Barrel & Bullet）</strong>这样广受欢迎的酒馆里，穷苦的工人和诚实的劳动者坐在酒吧间的桌子前，捧着大杯的淡啤酒聊天吹牛。
</p>
<p>
城墙外是法力废土——这是一片动荡、崎岖的荒漠，几个世纪以来，邻近的巫师国家<strong>奈克斯（Nex）</strong> and<strong>盖布（Geb）</strong>之间的魔法战争已经不可逆转地改变了这片荒漠。来自这两个国家的移民在阿肯斯塔很常见。许多这样的流亡者被更高强的施法者通缉，所以他们来到阿肯斯塔，利用该地区奇怪的魔法环境躲避敌人的追捕。另一些施法者则希望在法力废土的心脏地区实验他们的新作品。
</p>
<p>
法力废土分为两个主要地理区域：阿肯斯塔以东到奥巴里洋（Obari Ocean）的地带是干旱的、被狂风蹂躏的<strong>法痕荒漠（Spellscar Desert）</strong>，而城市的另一边则是<strong>西部荒原（Western Ravage）</strong>，这是一片崎岖不平的荒地，在阿肯斯塔和屏障峰（Barrier Peaks）之间延绵数英里。
</p>
<p>
在阿肯斯塔西边50英里的地方是<strong>枪械工坊（Gunworks）</strong>，这是一个强大的前哨基地，聚集了勇于创新的冶金师、雄心勃勃的枪械工匠和经验丰富的荒地游侠。这里有一门巨大的加农炮叫做洛瓦古格巨口（Maw of Rovagug），它保护着这座城市免受强盗和凶猛怪兽的侵袭。
</p>
<p>
离阿肯斯塔更近的是矮人的天空要塞<strong>顿加堡（Sky Citadel of Dongun Hold）。阿肯斯塔的居民正是从顿加堡的发明家和炼金术士那里初次掌握了黑火药和火器的秘密。由于两个定居之间点数十年的交流和融合，阿肯斯塔城内有许多顿加堡矮人定居。
</p>
<h2>著名人物 Notable Personas</h2>
<img class="float-right" src="modules/pf2e-ap178-180-outlaws-of-alkenstar/assets/art/BLACKPOWDER_BERSERKER.webp" alt style="shape-outside:url('modules/pf2e-ap178-180-outlaws-of-alkenstar/assets/art/BLACKPOWDER_BERSERKER.webp')" />
<p>
尽管城市的统治者们更愿意相信他们的法律法规让阿肯斯塔成为一个安全有秩序的定居点，但事实上，各种各样的权力——货币、社会、炼金术——时时刻刻都在易手，这是理所当然的。
</p>
<p>
大多数阿肯斯塔市民可以被分为工人阶级或贵族精英两大阶层。前者不断劳动以产出商品、服务和财富，后者则在生活中消费这些资源。阿肯斯塔最著名的贵族同时也是这座城市的领导者，广受欢迎的精明女大公<strong>崔莉塔·瑞希亚（Grand Duchess Trietta Ricia）</strong>。除了政客，精英阶级还包括这个城市的金融巨鳄和权力掮客，包括臭名昭著的金融家<strong>安布罗斯特·穆格兰（Ambrost Mugland）</strong> 和声名狼藉且铁腕的盾勋执法官，比如副警长 <strong>安洁丽卡·洛夫莱斯（Deputy Anjelique Loveless）</strong>。社会地位较低但影响力同样大的是那些伪装成卑微员工、充满魅力的谣言散布者，其中就包括枪弹酒馆里时刻背着把霰弹枪的酒保<strong>菲比•邓史密斯（Foebe Dunsmith）</strong>。
</p>
<p>
除了人类、矮人和其他有血有肉的生物，阿肯斯塔城内有着数量众多的各式各样的发条仆从。这些机械仆从没有思维和感受能力，甚至在大多数情况下没有知觉，只会任劳任怨地为他们的创造者服务。私人公司和富裕的居民会制造或购买专属的发条机械来进行重复劳动、私人安保或处理其他杂务。同样，由大公所委派的发条机械也包揽了一些没人想干的活——收集垃圾、夜晚巡逻、道路养护——这样，工人阶级就能埋头苦干，专注于眼前的工作。于此同时，发条装置的发明家们也在进行着他们自己的影子战争和军备竞赛，竞相设计出更加令人印象深刻的发条作品。
</p>
<p>
I不仅仅包括发明家，阿肯斯塔还是几乎是所有类型的手艺人的天堂，尤其是炼金术士和枪械工匠。在这类工匠和学者中，关于新发明的技术新闻和传闻以音速传播——这通常不是夸张的说法，因为几乎每个小时都能听到车间和工厂里传出的爆炸声。例如，最近尤为古怪的炼金术士名叫瓦申·盖特比（Vashon Gattlebee），他在布莱瑟学院炫耀性地展示了一种名为爆熔雷（pyronite）的具有毁灭性的新型爆炸物。爆熔雷的展示在阿肯斯塔的学术界引起了轩然大波，几乎每一个冶金师、工程师和研究者都在猜测这种威力巨大的武器背后的含义。
</p>
<h2>阿肯斯塔的魔法 Magic in Alkenstar</h2>
<p>
这座霾都以偏爱科技创新而非超自然现象而闻名。这部分是由于这座城市的起源：从奈克斯和盖布移民到这里来的居民多半是叛逃者或流亡者，他们摒弃了由法师统治的祖国那强大的魔法传统，喜欢用不同方法来解决共同的社会问题。从顿加堡流传来的黑火药技术，更进一步加剧了新移民对炼金术和机械技术的偏好，而非魔杖和法术书。
</p>
<p>
阿肯斯塔相对缺乏施法者的另一个原因来自于它的自然环境：法力废土常常刮着臭名昭著的能横扫整个沙漠的毁灭性魔法天灾——法力风暴。当法力风暴来袭时，法术和魔法力量就更有可能出错，导致灾难性的后果。所以明智的施法者会收起他们的魔杖，而旅行者则会急忙寻找掩蔽。在这样法力风暴中，一个准确瞄准的火球术可能会击中目标，也可能被扭曲成一根冰矛，反噬施法者自己。值得庆幸的是，阿肯斯塔城周围的城墙保护了那些居住在定居点内的人免受法力风暴的最坏影响。被称为“耳语表”（whispersheets ）的当地天气预报也能可靠地预测出一天中在什么时段魔法可能无法发挥出预期的作用。
</p>
<p>
在《霾都狂徒》冒险之路中，魔法在默认情况下是可靠的，其效果依然如同《核心规则书》中所描述的那样。这意味着你可以成为一名法师、女巫或任何其他施法者，而不用担心有先天性的劣势。罕见的法力风暴可能会在战役中发生那么一两次，让问题变得更加复杂化，但你的角色会提前知道这些事件的发生，给你足够的准备时间来应对可能对你角色能力产生戏剧性影响的情况。
</p>
<p>
也就是说，你的GM可能会有其他主意，尤其是当团队中的其他玩家对不太涉及魔法的战役感兴趣的时候。如果你打算成为一个施法者职业，请确保你和你的GM在关于法力风暴、耳语表、以及这些元素可能对你的冒险有什么影响等方面（如果有的话）达成一致。

<h2 class="no-toc">Banished Brighite</h2>
<p>@Compendium[pf2e.backgrounds.U1gbRkmZqJ7SmpeF]{See background here}</p>
<p>
Once, you were a dedicated and important priest of @Compendium[pf2e.deities.vEMCpm7iidycRT5D]{Brigh}, goddess of
clockwork and invention, based out of the largest church to your deity, the Temple of Brigh in Alkenstar. Here, you
made important discoveries in the annals of your religion’s canon and furthered the Bronze Lady’s agendas of
innovation and creation. Your future seemed bright, and you predicted that it was only a matter of time until you
ascended to the rank of primary cog or, someday, grand cog.
</p>
<p>
Then, your years of devout service were undone in an instant. A man named Ambrost Mugland came to the Temple and
demanded not only access to the religious formulas you’d been uncovering, but exclusive rights to the precious
knowledge. When you refused, Mugland sent word to the church’s leaders that you’d been meddling in heretical
doctrine. He also implicated you in the theft of church funds that had mysteriously gone missing as of late. Sure
enough, you found yourself being asked to hand in your robes. Your church colleagues didn’t turn you in, but they
told you in no uncertain terms that you wouldn’t be able to find sanctuary for your alleged crimes in the halls of
the Temple of @Compendium[pf2e.deities.vEMCpm7iidycRT5D]{Brigh}.
</p>
<p>
On the run and with nowhere to turn, your faith has been thoroughly tested, though so far you’ve remained true to
your religion and maintained your sacred skills and divine powers. It’s unclear what the Bronze Lady has in store
for you, but at least one thing’s for certain: Ambrost Mugland will pay for what he did.
</p>
<p>Choose two ability boosts. One must be to Intelligence or Wisdom, and one is a free ability boost.</p>
<p>
You’re trained in the Religion skill and the Brigh Lore skill. You gain the
@Compendium[pf2e.feats-srd.IlOQuCQIhjJpig3S]{Quick Identification} skill feat.

<h2 class="no-toc">被驱逐的布莱信徒 Banished Brighite</h2>
<p>@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.backgrounds.U1gbRkmZqJ7SmpeF]{这里阅读背景}</p>
<p>
曾经，你是齿轮与发明之神布莱的祭司，虔诚且颇有地位，内海最大的布莱教堂——阿肯斯塔的布莱神殿中侍奉你的女神。在这里，你埋首于布莱的宗教典籍，并且有了重大发现，大大促进了青铜夫人发明和创造的计划。你的前途看起来一片光明，你预测自己晋升为初阶齿轮（primary cog）甚至高阶齿轮（grand cog）阶层只是时间问题。
<p>
然后你多年的虔诚服务顷刻间化为乌有。一个叫做安布罗斯特·穆格兰的家伙来到神殿，不仅要求你提供所发现的宗教公式，更声称拥有这些珍贵知识的专利权。你当你表示拒绝之后，穆格兰就通知教会领袖说你一直在鼓噪异端邪说，他还暗示你和最近发生的教堂资金的神秘盗窃案有关。果不其然，你被剥夺了你的教会长袍。你的教会同僚们没有向当局告发你，但明确地告诉你，@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.vEMCpm7iidycRT5D]{布莱 Brigh}神殿不会为你的罪行提供庇护。
</p>
<p>
被迫逃亡之后，你无处藏身，你的信仰遭受了彻底的考验，尽管到目前为止，你仍然忠于你的女神，保留着你的神圣技能和神术力量。现在，虽然你不知道青铜夫人为你准备了什么，但至少有一件事是肯定的：安布罗斯特·穆格兰必须为他的所作所为付出代价。
</p>
<p>选择两项属性提升，一项必须为智力或感知，另一项为自选属性提升。</p>

entries.Outlaws of Alkenstar - Player's Guide.journals.Players Guide.pages.Character Suggestions.text

<p>
Though you’re free to create any kind of character you like for the Outlaws of
Alkenstar Adventure Path, the following suggestions are designed to help you
make a character well suited for this campaign. These suggestions are
summarized on the table on page 9, which lists character options from strongly
recommended to not recommended.
</p>
<h2>Alignments</h2>
<p>
Because you and your friends will be taking on the roles of outlaws, it makes
sense that your character might be someone who lives outside typical legal
parameters or codes of ethics. Because of this, chaotic good and chaotic
neutral are ideal choices for your character’s alignment. Such characters
likely find themselves frequently at odds with Alkenstar’s highly regimented
powers that be, including the Temple of
@Compendium[pf2e.deities.vEMCpm7iidycRT5D]{Brigh} (most of whose devotees tend
to be lawful neutral), shieldmarshals (guards charged with upholding the
letter of the law), and the many famous guilds, private armies, and shadowy
corporations whose strict, regimented systems keep the city’s denizens in
lockstep with power brokers’ fiscal and industrial aims.
</p>
<p>
On the other hand, although your character ostensibly broke the law, they
might have been wrongfully accused, framed, or set up. Even if they did commit
the crime that’s led to their outlaw status, perhaps your character follows a
personal code that, while structured and methodical, simply doesn’t mesh with
Alkenstar’s conceptions of law and order. If so, lawful neutral or lawful good
are great alignment options.
</p>
<p>
As in nearly all Pathfinder Adventure Paths, evil alignments are best suited
for your party’s enemies, not your character. Though your character begins the
adventure as an outlaw and might even be a selfish antihero, the campaign
won’t put you in positions where you have to commit heinous or evil deeds.
Likewise, it’s assumed that the deeds that made your character a wanted
criminal weren’t motivated by greed, malevolence, or depravity (or, if they
were, your character has had a dramatic and sincere change of heart between
the crime and the beginning of the campaign). As usual, intentionally
committing atrocities or victimizing others will make it much harder for you
to work with your party and potential allies who don’t want anything to do
with evildoers.
</p>
<h2>Ancestries</h2>
<p>
Alkenstar is home to a wide variety of ancestries and ethnicities, though the
majority of its inhabitants are humans, particularly ethnic Garundi closely
descended from Nexian and Gebbite immigrants. Since the city’s founding over a
century ago, plenty of other diverse peoples have found their footing here,
including Mwangi from west of the Barrier Peaks or south of Geb, Keleshites
from as near as Katapesh or Qadira or as far as Kelesh, and Vudrani from
Jalmeray or elsewhere across the Obari Ocean.
</p>
<p>
Dwarves are the city’s second-most populous ancestry, many hailing from the
nearby Sky Citadel of Dongun Hold. It was Dongun dwarves who supplied the
first firearms to Ancil Alkenstar’s burgeoning community of technologists and
magic-weary refugees. Today, Dongun dwarves continue to be regarded as among
the best gunsmiths and explosives engineers in the world.
</p>
<p>
Jaric halflings and Vourinoi elves are far from unknown in Alkenstar—Ambrost
Mugland and Anjelique Loveless are only two of the most famous examples,
respectively. Roughly as common as these are gnolls and geniekin, the latter
of which are perhaps more common than usual in Alkenstar due, in part, to the
mysterious effects of mana storms on mortal bloodlines.
</p>
<p>
Finally, a notable number of Gebbite dhampirs and Nexian fleshwarps—comprising
a combination of temporary visitors, traveling adventurers, and full-blown
expatriates—also call the City of Smog home. Perhaps more than any other
ancestries, these individuals are uniquely suited to Alkenstar’s industrial
environment; hazardous pollutants and smog are of less concern to undead, and
fleshwarps too often boast anatomies that lessen the severity of environmental
dangers.
</p>
<p>
For more details on these ancestries and others that call Alkenstar home, see
the Pathfinder Lost Omens Ancestry Guide.
</p>
<h2>Classes</h2>
<p>
Alkenstar is the Inner Sea’s preeminent hub of technological and industrial
innovation. In the City of Smog, the quickest way to gain power, prestige, or
profit is to invent something that other people want; this holds as true for
adventurers as it does for aristocrats and common folk. Because scientific
experimentation and progress are keystones of daily life in Alkenstar,
alchemists and inventors (Pathfinder Guns &amp; Gears 15–33) do extremely well
as a general rule. Whether by mixing rare reagents collected from the Mana
Wastes or by tinkering with the literal tons of scrap that fill Alkenstar’s
junkyards, there are countless opportunities for old-time residents and
newcomers alike to practice the skills necessary to become accomplished in
either of these fields.
</p>
<p>
The same can be said for the gunslinger class (Guns &amp; Gears 105–119),
which is probably more common in Alkenstar than in any other corner of the
Inner Sea region. Alkenstar’s proximity to Dongun Hold—the birthplace of black
powder—means that firearms aren’t just easily accessible, but practically
commonplace. Mercenaries, monster slayers, bounty hunters, and criminals all
might call themselves gunslingers, though only a few ever exhibit the true
grit necessary to make it to the big leagues. The most talented shootists and
desperados command a high price as guns-for-hire or swiftly rise through the
ranks of organizations such as the shieldmarshals, making the gunslinger class
a natural fit for this campaign.
</p>
<p>
For the full rules on gunslingers and inventors, see Pathfinder Guns &amp;
Gears.
</p>
<p>
Beyond these three thematically suitable classes—alchemists, gunslingers, and
inventors—characters of any class well-suited for urban adventuring can hope
to succeed in the Outlaws of Alkenstar Adventure Path. Investigators and
rogues can uncover countless mysteries and hidden treasures on the streets of
the City of Smog, and swashbucklers and bards can likewise find opportunities
for escapades and entertainment at every turn.
</p>
<p>
For all of Alkenstar’s emphasis on technological novelties and progress, it’s
sometimes hard to beat a well-placed punch or a masterfully executed sword
swing. The fearsome threat of monsters encroaching from the Mana Wastes makes
adventurous martial experts of all stripes—such as fighters, monks, and
barbarians—always in high demand.
</p>
<p>
On the spiritual side of things, clerics, champions, and other pious
adventurers might strongly consider
@Compendium[pf2e.deities.vEMCpm7iidycRT5D]{Brigh}, the Whisper in Bronze and
patron goddess of clockwork inventors, as their deity. The Temple of Brigh in
Alkenstar is the largest organized church dedicated to the Bronze Lady in the
Inner Sea region. Ever-orderly
@Compendium[pf2e.deities.d56paSkcwvll2OhR]{Abadar} is also a popular deity
with Alkenstar’s most cosmopolitan believers. At the other extreme,
comfort-eschewing wasteland wanderers vastly prefer the age-old wisdom of the
divine hunter, @Compendium[pf2e.deities.mm1j6UbHqFCI8fwB]{Erastil}. Finally,
many Dongun dwarves pay stalwart homage to
@Compendium[pf2e.deities.sZrdzh0ANQnZGXJb]{Torag}, Father of Dwarvenkind, and
honor him with creative spins on ancient traditions.
</p>
<p>
Because of the surrounding region’s unique climate—magic-warping mana storms
are relatively common outside the city’s walls—druids, wizards, summoners, and
sorcerers don’t flock to Alkenstar as a rule, but they aren’t necessarily
unknown either. The few arcane spellcasters who intentionally travel to
Alkenstar often do so in the hopes of attending Blythir College, the city’s
only official academy of magic. Sorcerers and druids are more likely to dwell
on the city’s outskirts, where they can better tap into the mysterious powers
of so-called wellspring magic (Pathfinder Secrets of Magic 248).
</p>
<p>
Many spellcasters living in the City of Smog are exiles from Geb or Nex, where
they likely first gained their penchant for ancient necromantic secrets or
universal arcane truths, respectively. Witches, magi, and oracles similarly
travel to the Mana Wastes for their own mysterious reasons, and their
unorthodox relationship with esoterica makes them perhaps a bit more common in
the weird and wild Mana Wastes.
</p>
<h2>Languages</h2>
<p>
Owing to its cosmopolitan cultural makeup, the Grand Duchy of Alkenstar’s
official language is Common (Taldane), though the high population of dwarves
(especially dwarves from Dongun Hold) makes Dwarven nearly as ubiquitous. The
most successful merchants and travelers also take it upon themselves to learn
Kelish, a language commonly spoken in nearby nations like Geb, Nex, and
Katapesh.
</p>
<p>
In the wastelands beyond Alkenstar’s walls, roving bandits, violent mutated
giants, and horrific monsters tend to speak Gnoll, Jotun, Aklo, or a pidgin of
all three. Those who deal with evildoers could do far worse than to practice
one of these tongues as well.
</p>
<h2>Skills and Feats</h2>
<p>
Alkenstar is a city of inventors and makers; thus, virtually everyone has at
least a bit of training in the Crafting skill, which is useful not just for
making and repairing things, but also identifying the many different kinds of
clockwork creatures that roam the city. By the same token, anyone who expects
to be fighting or evading clockworks and their masters would do well to study
Thievery as a means of disabling devices.
</p>
<p>
Even for those with supernatural means of avoiding arrest, prowess in
Athletics or Acrobatics can often spell the difference between capture and
escape. Likewise, silver-tongued outlaws can benefit greatly from expertise in
social skills like Deception, Diplomacy, Intimidation, or Society. Although
Performance can be useful for creating diversions, a knack for Religion might
be even more practical in a settlement whose predominant church—the Temple of
Brigh—functions like an essential cog in daily goings-on. Of course, when all
else fails, there’s always pure and simple Stealth, an invaluable addition to
any outlaw’s skill repertoire.
</p>
<p>
Although Nature and Survival are of minimal use in Alkenstar proper, the
outskirts of the city are rife with animals and environmental dangers, making
naturalists and survivalists useful in certain situations. While Medicine and
Occultism are always useful skills to have on hand, neither will open any
special doors in this campaign.
</p>
<p>
Among the subcategories of the Lore skill, Alkenstar Lore, Brigh Lore, and
Engineering Lore are highly relevant throughout this Adventure Path.
</p>
<p>
Suitable feats include any that complement your character concept and/or play
into the above skills. As an outlaw, your character might particularly benefit
from feats that could help you survive on the outskirts of proper society or
without the assistance of the law. Likewise, because Alkenstar’s architecture
is so tightly packed together, feats that increase mobility in close quarters
will typically be more useful than those which require a Large animal
companion or mount to enjoy. The
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ooalk01player.JournalEntryPage.01suggestedcha00]{table}
includes lists of specific feats to consider for your character.
</p>
<h2>Backgrounds</h2>
<p>
Though you can choose any common background for your character (including the
ones starting on page 60 of the Core Rulebook; the criminal background is
particularly appropriate), the following new backgrounds are designed
specifically for the Outlaws of Alkenstar Adventure Path. You can use these
backgrounds to inspire personality traits and details that tie your character
to Alkenstar.
</p>
<p>
Additionally, each of the following backgrounds includes a reason for your
character to seek revenge against one of two villains who wronged you: the
nefarious mogul Ambrost Mugland or the corrupt shieldmarshal Anjelique
Loveless.
</p>
<p>@Compendium[pf2e.backgrounds.U1gbRkmZqJ7SmpeF]{Banished Brighite}</p>
<p>@Compendium[pf2e.backgrounds.eHfsMNiVeqwnrpG3]{Framed in Ferrous Quarter}</p>
<p>@Compendium[pf2e.backgrounds.UK40FVVVx6IKxipW]{Inexplicably Expelled}</p>
<p>@Compendium[pf2e.backgrounds.bxWID85noazU72O3]{Ratted-Out Gun Runner}</p>
<p>@Compendium[pf2e.backgrounds.4lbfPXwZEf3eE0ip]{Snubbed Out Stoolie}</p>
<p>@Compendium[pf2e.backgrounds.wZikbWmCWYpjFxQF]{Wanted Witness}</p>
<p>
虽然你可以自由为《霾都狂徒》创建任何你喜欢的角色，但以下建议将让你的角色更适合本战役。这些建议将汇总在第9页的表格中，从强烈推荐到不推荐依次罗列。
</p>
<h2>阵营 Alignments</h2>
<p>
因为你和你的朋友将扮演法外狂徒的角色，所以你的角色可能是一个生活在通常的法律约束和道德规范之外的人。正因为如此，混乱善良和混乱中立是你最理想的阵营选择。这样的角色会经常与阿肯斯塔高度管制的权力体制发生冲突，这包括布莱神殿@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.vEMCpm7iidycRT5D]{Brigh} （大多数信徒倾向于守序中立）、盾勋执法官（警队负责执行法律）、和许多著名的行会、私人武装、影子公司等，这种严格的管制保证了这座城市的居民与权力掮客的财政和工业目标相一致。
</p>
<p>
另一方面，虽然你的角色表面上违反了法律，但它可能遭到错误的指控、栽赃或陷害。即便它确实犯下的导致自己成为法外狂徒的罪行，但你的角色依然会遵循某种有组织性和有条理性的个人准则，但是和阿肯斯塔官方的法律和秩序理念相违背。在这样的情况下，守序中立或守序善良将是很不错的阵营选择。
</p>
<p>
在几乎所有的开拓者冒险之路中，邪恶阵营都是反派而不是你角色的最佳选择。虽然你的角色一开始是个法外狂徒，甚至可能是一个自私的反英雄，但战役不会让你做出令人发指或邪恶的行为。同样地，本冒险假设，导致你的角色成为通缉犯的行为并不是由贪婪、恶毒或堕落的动机所驱使的（或者，如果是这样的话，你的角色在从犯下罪行到战役开始的这段时间内会经历戏剧性地洗心革面）。像往常一样，故意实施暴行或伤害他人会让你更难与你的队友和潜在的盟友合作，因为他们不想与那些真正作恶多端的人有任何交集。
</p>
<h2>族裔 Ancestries</h2>
<p>
阿肯斯塔是各种族裔和传承的家园，尽管它的居民大部分为人类，尤其是以奈克斯人（Nexian）和盖布人（Gebbite）移民为主的、具有异域风情的加仑德人（Garundi）。自一个世纪之前城市建立伊始，已经有许多不同的人移民到这里，包括从西部屏障峰或南方盖布移民过来芒吉人（Mwangi）、从附近的卡塔佩什（Katapesh）或卡蒂亚（Qadira），甚至遥远的珂莱士（Kelesh）移民过来的珂莱士人（Keleshites），从扎摩诔（Jalmeray）或从其他地方远渡奥巴里洋来到这里的伏陀罗人（Vudrani）。
</p>
<p>
矮人是这座城市人口第二多的族裔，许多矮人来自附近的天空要塞顿加堡。正是顿加堡矮人给阿肯斯塔日益增多的技术人员和厌恶魔法的难民们带来了第一批火器。
</p>
<p>
雅里奇半身人（Jaric halflings）和沃里诺半精灵（Vourinoi elves）在阿肯斯塔较为常见——安洁丽卡·洛夫莱斯和安布罗斯特·穆格兰是两个著名的代表。类似的还有鬣狗人（gnolls）和巨灵裔（geniekin），但是后者更为罕见，部分起源于法力风暴对于人类族裔的影响。
</p>
<p>
最后是为数众多的盖布吸血裔（Gebbite dhampirs）和奈克斯塑肉体（Nexian fleshwarps）——包括临时访客、旅居的冒险者和完全的外籍人士——也把这座霾都当做家园。也许相比其他族裔，这些族裔更能适应阿肯斯塔的工业环境。对于不死生物来说，有毒的污染物和雾霾没有那么严重的影响，而塑肉体们常常吹嘘自己的生理结构可以减轻环境对自身的危害。
</p>
<p>
想了解更多这些族裔和其他把阿肯斯塔当做家园的族裔的细节，请详阅《预言破灭之年族裔指南》（Lost Omens Ancestry Guide）。
</p>
<h2>职业 Classes</h2>
<p>
阿肯斯塔是内海卓越的技术和工业发明的中心。在霾都，获得权力、声望或利益的最佳方式就是发明别人想要的东西；对冒险者、贵族或平民来说都是如此。因为在阿肯斯塔， 科技实验和进步是日常生活的基石，所以炼金术士和发明家（《枪械全书》15-33页）在这里表现出色。无论是通过混合从法力废土收集来的稀有炼金试剂，还是通过修补阿肯斯塔垃圾场中成吨的废料，新老居民都有无数机会来锻炼在这些领域中取得成就所必需的技艺。
</p>
<p>
同样的情况也适用于枪手（《枪械全书》105–119页），这类角色在阿肯斯塔比内海其他任何地区都更为常见。阿肯斯塔离黑火药的诞生地顿加堡很近，这意味着火器不仅很容易获得，并且满大街都是。雇佣兵、怪物杀手、赏金猎人和罪犯都可能自称为枪手，尽管只有少数人才能跻身最优秀者之列。最具天赋的枪手和亡命徒往往能被人以高价雇佣，或者在像盾勋执法官这样的组织里迅速晋升，因此枪手也非常适合这次冒险。
</p>
<p>
关于发明家和枪手的详细规则，请详阅《枪械全书》（Guns & Gears）。
</p>
<p>
除了以上三个最适合游戏主题的职业——炼金术士、枪手和发明家之外，任何适合城市冒险的职业都能在《霾都狂徒》的冒险之路中游刃有余。在霾都的街头，调查员和游荡者可以解开城市无数的秘密和宝藏，而浪客和吟游诗人们也能在每个角落找到冒险和娱乐的机会。
</p>
<p>
尽管阿肯斯塔强调技术的革新和进步，但科技有时也比不上精妙的拳法或是娴熟的剑术。来自法力废土可怕的怪物威胁让各种勇于冒险的武斗家——比如战士、武僧、和野蛮人广受欢迎。
</p>
<p>
在精神方面，牧师、神卫和其他虔诚的冒险者可能会狂热地将@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.vEMCpm7iidycRT5D]{布莱 Brigh}——青铜耳语、发条发明者的守护神——视为他们信仰的神祇。位于阿肯斯塔的布莱神殿是内海地区最大的供奉青铜女士的神殿。向来崇尚秩序的@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.d56paSkcwvll2OhR]{阿巴达尔 Abadar} 也是深受阿肯斯塔大部分来自世界各地的信徒们欢迎的神祇。在另一个极端，远离舒适生活的废土游民们更喜欢老神猎 @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.mm1j6UbHqFCI8fwB]{埃拉斯蒂尔 Erastil}。最后，许多顿加堡矮人都坚定地崇敬着矮人天父@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.sZrdzh0ANQnZGXJb]{托拉格 Torag}，根据矮人的传统建造了许多圣柱来敬拜祂。
</p>
<p>
因为独特的气候条件，扭曲魔法的法力风暴在城外更常见，因此德鲁伊、法师、召唤师和术士很少会聚集在阿肯斯塔城里，但他们也并非不为人知。少数奥术施法者专门前往阿肯斯塔，目的是进入布莱瑟学院（Blythir College）——这座城市官方的魔法学院学习。德鲁伊和术士更有可能居住在城市的郊区，在那里他们可以更好地利用所谓的源泉魔法的神秘力量（《魔法之秘》Secrets of Magic 248页）。
</p>
<p>
许多居住在霾都的施法者都是来自奈克斯或盖布的流亡者，他们可能是在这两个地方开始对古老的巫术秘密或晦涩的魔法真理产生兴趣的。因此，女巫、魔战士和先知会为了他们神秘的目标而前往法力废土，他们和神秘事物的非常关系让他们在怪异狂野的法力废土更为常见一些。
</p>
<h2>语言 Languages</h2>
<p>
由于其国际化的文化构成，阿肯斯塔大公国的官方语言是通用语（塔尔多语），但是矮人（尤其是顿加堡矮人）因占了很大的人口比例，导致矮人语在生活中无处不在。最成功的商人和旅行者也会学习珂莱士语，这是一种在邻国例如盖布、奈克斯或卡塔佩什普遍使用的语言。
</p>
<p>
在阿肯斯塔城外的荒原上，四处游荡的强盗、暴力且变异的巨人、可怕的怪物们往往会说鬣狗人语、巨人语、邪灵语，或三种语言的混合语言。那些和恶徒打交道的人，如果不会说其中一种语言的话会陷入尴尬的境地。
</p>
<h2>技能和专长 Skills and Feats</h2>
<p>
阿肯斯塔是发明家和创造者的城市；因此，几乎所有人都有那么一点手艺，这不仅有助于制造和修理东西，还有助于识别漫步在城中的各种不同类型的发条生物。出于同样的原因，任何想要对抗或躲避发条装置和它们主人的人都应该将贼活作为一种解除装置的手段来研究。
</p>
<p>
即便那些拥有超自然手段来避免被捕的人来说，在面临抓捕的时候，特技和运动同样也是非常重要的逃跑技能。同样，能言善辩的法外狂徒们也能从诸如欺骗、交涉、威吓或社群等技能中获益良多。虽然表演技能在创造娱乐方面很有用，但是在日常生活中扮演重要角色的宗教场合——布莱神殿这类地方，宗教的窍门可能会更加实用。当然，当其他所有方法都行不通时，简单而纯粹的隐秘技能对于任何法外狂徒来说都极其宝贵的后手。
</p>
<p>
虽然自然和生存在阿肯斯塔城内本身用处不大，但城市郊区到处都是动物和环境危害，这使得自然和生存在某些情况下非常有用。虽然医疗和神秘总能找到用武之地，但在这场冒险中并没有什么特殊作用。
</p>
<p>
对于学识技能的子题来说，阿肯斯塔学识、布莱学识和工程学识都和整个冒险之路高度相关。
</p>
<p>
合适的专长包括任何可以补充你角色概念或发挥上述技能的专长。作为一名法外狂徒，能够帮助你在社会边缘与法律保护之外生存的专长尤为有用。同样地，因为阿肯斯塔的布局如此紧凑，所以在短距离内增加机动性的专长通常比那些需要大型动物伴侣或坐骑才能享受的专长更有有用。第7页的表格@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ooalk01player.JournalEntryPage.01suggestedcha00]{table}列出了你的角色需要考虑的特殊专长列表。
</p>
<h2>背景 Backgrounds</h2>
<p>
尽管你可以为角色选择任何常见背景（包括《核心规则书》第60页的背景；罪犯criminal背景尤其合适），以下新背景是专门为《霾都狂徒》冒险之路专门设计的。你可以使用这些背景进一步挖掘那些将你的角色和阿肯斯塔紧密联系在一起的个性特征和细节。
</p>
<p>
此外，以下每种背景都包含了你向两个让你获罪的大恶人之一——邪恶的大亨安布罗斯特·穆格兰或腐败的盾勋执法官安洁丽卡·洛夫莱斯寻求报复的理由。

<p>@Compendium[pf2e.backgrounds.eHfsMNiVeqwnrpG3]{See background here}</p>
<p>
Everyone knows that Ferrous Quarter isn’t exactly the nicest part of Alkenstar. Hard-working laborers, gunsmiths
suffering from black lung, and red-eyed tinkerers alike can toil their entire lives on these grimy streets and still
wind up dead in an alley with nothing to show for it. You were once one of these humble artisans, until one day, out
of nowhere, things broke bad.
</p>
<p>
Maybe you hung out with the wrong crowd. Maybe it was just bad luck. Whatever the case, you were framed for a crime
you didn’t commit—larceny, smuggling, possibly even murder. You didn’t stick around long enough to find out what,
exactly, the shieldmarshals banging on your door were charging you with. Now, you’re on the lam, uncertain where
you’ll be able to get a good night’s sleep, let alone your next meal.
</p>
<p>
At least one thing’s for sure, though: before you turned heel and ran into the streets, you saw a telltale signature
on the arrest warrant. It was the scrawl of a corrupt shieldmarshal who’s framed countless other hardworking folks
in your neighborhood on the basis of cooked-up evidence. Yes, you’re sure of it—the crooked guard who took you down
is none other than Deputy Anjelique Loveless, and you’re determined to return the favor.
</p>
<p>Choose two ability boosts. One must be to Dexterity or Constitution, and one is a free ability boost.</p>

<p>
每个人都知道阿肯斯塔的亚铁区并不是个宜居的地方。辛劳的工人、患有尘肺病的枪匠和眼睛红肿的修补匠人可能会在这里肮脏的街道上辛苦劳作一辈子，最终在某个小巷子里一无所有地死去。你曾经是这些卑微的工匠中的一员，直到某一天，不知道为什么，厄运降临了。
</p>
<p>
也许你交错了朋友，也许你运气不好。无论如何，你被诬陷犯下一桩你并未参与的盗窃、走私甚至谋杀罪行。你没有过久逗留，甚至没弄清楚门外那些敲门的盾勋执法官到底在指控你什么。现在，你逃亡在外，不知道哪里是安全的栖身之所，过着吃了上顿没下顿的生活。
</p>
<p>
但至少有一件事是确定的，在你逃往街道上之前，你在逮捕令上看到了一个签名。这个潦草签名来自一个腐败的警长，她用捏造的证据坑害了你周围无数辛勤工作的人。是的，你很确定——栽赃你的那个奸诈执法官不是别人，正是副警长安洁丽卡·洛夫莱斯，而你决心向她复仇。.

<p>Welcome to Alkenstar!</p>
<p>
If you’re reading this Player’s Guide, it means you and your friends have
decided to play in the Outlaws of Alkenstar Adventure Path. In this campaign
for Pathfinder Second Edition, you’ll create a 1st-level character and take on
the role of a criminal outlaw in a steam-powered metropolis. To get revenge on
the villains who ruined you, you’ll need to defeat clockwork creatures,
collect fantastic firearms, and navigate industrial dungeons, magical wilds,
and myriad social spheres. If this sounds exciting, you’ve found the right
Adventure Path!
</p>
<p>
To play in this campaign, all you need is the Pathfinder Core Rulebook and a
character sheet. With the permission of your Game Master (GM), you can also
use other Pathfinder Second Edition books and accessories to further customize
your character. While not required to enjoy Outlaws of Alkenstar, Pathfinder
Guns &amp; Gears is an especially useful supplement to have on hand, as it
contains a number of character options and rules elements specifically
designed for characters in Alkenstar, the industrial metropolis at the heart
of this Adventure Path.
</p>
<p>This Player’s Guide is organized into the following sections:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong
>@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ooalk01player.JournalEntryPage.01alkenstarcit00]{Alkenstar,

<p>欢迎来到阿肯斯塔！</p>
<p>
如果你正在阅读这本《玩家指南》， 这意味着你和你的朋友决定游玩《霾都狂徒》冒险之路。在这场开拓者二版冒险中，你将创建一个1级角色，扮演一位在这座蒸汽动力的大都会中犯下罪行的不法之徒。为了报复那些毁了你人生的恶徒，你需要打败发条生物、收集幻想风格的火器、在工业化的地下城、法力荒野和无数社交场合之间穿梭。如果这听起来让你兴奋不已，那么你找对
冒险之路了！

核心舞台。
</p>
<p>本玩家指南分为以下几个部分：</p>

<p>
Gaining admission to Blythir College is a difficult task, even for Alkenstar’s most well-to-do families. In the
magic-warped Mana Wastes, it’s next to impossible to fake arcane talents or alchemical aptitude. So when you were
accepted to the school, it was one of the most triumphant moments of your life.
</p>
<p>
Unfortunately, your victory was short-lived. Just as you were you making significant headway on a promising series
of explosive experiments, you found a letter on your desk informing you that, effective immediately, you were
permanently expelled from Blythir College. As bogus as the punishment was, the charges leveled against you were even
more puzzling: theft of property, both intellectual and physical. And just like that, you found your prestigious
honors replaced with a ruined reputation, and your colleagues and mentors became bitter rivals and accusers. In an
instant, you’d gone from promising scholar to wanted criminal.
</p>
<p>
You followed the money for answers and learned that a shady financier named Ambrost Mugland didn’t want you to
finish your research at Blythir. He’d learned that you were on the brink of a great discovery—one that even you
weren’t fully aware of—and he decided that your imminent breakthrough would be bad for business. Unfortunately for
Mugland, he chose the wrong student to destroy. Now, you’ll do whatever’s necessary to get your revenge on the
villain who stole the future you had worked so hard to build for yourself.

获得布莱瑟学院的入学资格是一项艰巨的挑战，即便是对阿肯斯塔最富裕的家庭也是如此，在魔法扭曲的法力废土，伪造奥术天赋或炼金术天赋几乎是不可能的。所以当你被这所学校录取时，那是你人生中最志得意满的时刻之一。
</p>
<p>
不幸的是，你的胜利是短暂的，正当你在一系列极具前景的爆炸性实验中取得重大进展时，你在办公桌上发现了一封信，这封信通知你被布莱瑟学院永久开除，立即生效。这种惩罚让你觉得不公，而指控更令你费解：窃取这是产权和实体财产。就这样你，你本来享有的声誉被摧毁了，你的同学和导师立刻开始充满敌意地挖苦和指责你。顷刻之间，你就从前途无量的明星学者变成了通缉犯。
</p>
<p>
为了寻找答案，你开始追查被盗财产的下落，然后发现一个叫安布罗斯特·穆格兰的可疑金融家不想让你完成在布莱瑟学院的研究。他认为你即将有一个大发现——连你自己都完全没意识到它将引起多大波澜——他认为这项突破将威胁到他的商业帝国。不幸的是，他毁错了人。现在，你将做任何必要的事情，只为了报复那个使你辛苦创造出的光明未来付诸流水的混蛋。

Sure, you’ve got a checkered past. Who doesn’t? It’s hard to make a living in the City of Smog, so you did what you
could to put&nbsp;silvers in your pocket and food on the table. You made a good deal of money selling firearms from
the Gunworks to people who perhaps shouldn’t have had them. You even worked with wasteland marauders a few times,
sticking up Ustradi barges plying the river between the Gunworks and Alkenstar. Of course, you never hurt any
innocents or did anything truly heinous; your criminal career was always just a matter of money.
</p>
<p>
One day, a corrupt financier named Ambrost Mugland—a true crook if there ever was one—approached you, demanding a
cut of your business. When you refused, he put in a word with the shieldmarshals that you’d be a certain somewhere
at a certain time with a certain large quantity of illegally obtained firearms. Even though you escaped arrest, your
identity was compromised, and your old accomplices have all turned their backs on you. Your gun-running days are
clearly over. Now, you’re just running.

当然，你有一段曲折的往事，谁不是呢？在霾都谋生是很艰难的，所以你竭尽所能地搞钱来满足基本的生活需求。你从枪械工坊搞到一大批火器，卖给了那些本不该拥有枪支的人。你甚至和废土中的掠夺者合作过几次，持枪抢劫乌斯塔迪河上往来的商船。当然，你从未伤害过任何无辜者，也没有犯下过任何令人发指的罪行；你犯罪一直都只是为了钱。
</p>
<p>
有一天，一个叫做安布罗斯特·穆格兰的腐败金融家——如果世界上有真正的骗子，那他当仁不让——找到了你，要求从你的生意中分一杯羹。当你表示拒绝之后，他向盾勋执法官举报说你会在某个特定时间特定地点携带大量非法枪支。即便你逃过了追捕，你的身份也已经暴露，你之前的同伙都背叛了你。你走私枪支的日子显然已经到头了。现在，你只能逃亡。

You were once a distinguished informant for the shieldmarshals, working deep undercover to infiltrate gangs of
bootleggers and assassins. Then, one day, you discovered that the records of your service had all been completely
destroyed. In an instant, you were no longer an elite spy impersonating a criminal—you were just a plain criminal.
</p>
<p>
Now, not a trace remains of your work for the city. Not only is it as though you were never a shieldmarshal at all,
but you’ve got a rap sheet implicating you as a key member in the criminal organizations you spent your career
infiltrating. Luckily, no one could take away the skills you learned from your deep-cover missions, and your new
notoriety has earned you quite a reputation among Alkenstar’s criminal elite. Through your underworld connections,
you’ve identified Deputy Shieldmarshal Anjelique Loveless as the one responsible for your fall from grace. It seems
you were onto something that she didn’t want you to know about, but there’s only one way to figure out exactly why
Loveless ruined your reputation and gave you your outlaw status—find her.

</p>
<p>
现在，你为这座城市所付出的一切都不复存在了。你觉得自己仿佛从来就不是一名盾勋执法官，而你的犯罪记录已经坐实了你就是你花费毕生精力去渗透的犯罪组织的核心成员。幸运的是，没人能夺走你在这些年从卧底任务中掌握到的技巧。而你的新恶名也为你在阿肯斯塔各种犯罪组织的头目中赢得了相当的声誉。通过你的地下关系网，你最终查出盾勋执法官的副警长安洁丽卡·洛夫莱斯是这一切的幕后黑手。看来你发现了一些她不想让你知道的事情，但只有一个方法可以彻底弄明白为什么洛夫莱斯毁了你的名声并让你成为通缉犯——找她当面对质。

<p>@Compendium[pf2e.backgrounds.wZikbWmCWYpjFxQF]{See background here}</p>
<p>
You saw something you shouldn’t have, plain and simple. The shame is that you don’t even know what it is, exactly,
that you saw.
</p>
<p>
After moving to Alkenstar, you swiftly fell in love with the City of Smog, but you found it difficult to get a
foothold in the fast-paced metropolis. Luckily, a chance invitation promised good work for someone with your unique
social talents. You went to an inconspicuous chamber in a humble tower somewhere in the Capital District. There, you
met some clearly powerful, clearly corrupt members of the Alkenstar elite. Among the faces you recognized were the
notorious mogul Ambrost Mugland and the steely-eyed shieldmarshal Anjelique Loveless. Before you were asked to
leave, you made quite an impression—but not a good one.
</p>
<p>
Not only did you not make the cut for whatever kinds of jobs were on offer that day, but you soon discovered that
you couldn’t get a room at any inn in the city, and there were wanted posters with your name on them plastered all
over town. Friends and families turned their backs on you, afraid to get involved. Clearly, someone at that
meeting—Mugland, maybe, or perhaps Loveless—believed you were a liability, and they had you excised from Alkenstar
society. All you want is to be able to walk the streets without fearing for your life, and there’s only one way to
make that happen: find the villains responsible for your predicament and get them to undo the curse now attached to
your name.
</p>
<p>Choose two ability boosts. One must be to Constitution or Charisma, and one is a free ability boost.</p>
<p>
You’re trained in the Society skill and the Alkenstar Lore skill. You gain the

<p>
你看到了不该看的东西，就这么简单。遗憾的是，你甚至不知道自己看到了什么.
</p>
<p>
你在搬来阿肯斯塔之后，很快就爱上了这座霾都。但你发现自己很难在这个快节奏的大都市里找到立锥之地。幸运的是，你得到了一个不错的面试机会，这份工作能让你发挥你独特社交才能。你走进了财富区某座不起眼的大楼里的某间不起眼的办公室。在那里，你见到了一些有权有势且腐败的阿肯斯塔上流人士。在你所熟知的面孔中，有臭名昭著的大亨安布罗斯特·穆格兰，还有目光冷酷的盾勋执法官安洁丽卡·洛夫莱斯。在你被要求滚出去之前，你给他们留下了深刻的印象——但肯定不是什么好印象。
</p>
<p>
你不仅没能找到任何工作，而且城里任何一家旅店都拒绝你入住，城里到处都贴满了写有你名字的通缉海报。朋友和家人都背弃了你，因为他们害怕遭受牵连。很明显，那次会议上的某个大佬——穆格兰，也可能是洛夫莱斯，认为留着你是个祸害，想将你从阿肯斯塔的社会中彻底抹去。你想要的只不过是能在大街上走路时不用时刻担心自己丢了小命，只有一个办法能做到这一点，找到那些让你陷入绝境的恶棍，让他们洗刷你的污名。
</p>
<p>选择两项属性提升，一项必须为体质或魅力，另一项为自选属性提升。</p>

<p>
In the Outlaws of Alkenstar Adventure Path, you and your friends assume the
roles of wanted criminals who must operate outside the law to earn their
fortunes and freedom. Your ultimate goal is twofold: clear your name, and also
seek revenge against the villain responsible for your ruined reputation.
</p>
<p>
Read on to learn more about the implications of your outlaw status, the
nemeses responsible for your infamy, and the upcoming job that promises to
help you get revenge.
</p>
<h2>Outlawed</h2>
<p>
At the beginning of this Adventure Path, your character is presumed to be an
outlaw—a notorious roughneck, wanted renegade, or wrongly accused
runaway—currently at large and charged by the city of Alkenstar with breaking
one, two, or a dozen laws. The crime of which you’ve been accused might be
petty (such as trespassing, picking pockets, or breaking and entering), or it
might be grand (high treason, prison break, or murder), or it might land
somewhere between these two extremes. You might have committed the crime with
full knowledge of your misdeed, or perhaps you believed you were in the right
or had no other option. Maybe you didn’t do anything wrong at all, and the
entire matter is a grave understanding or a setup. Whatever the specifics,
you’ve caught the attention of Alkenstar’s organized guard force, the
shieldmarshals.
</p>
<p>
Now, to retain your freedom and eventually clear your name, you’ll need to
stay one step ahead of the law by operating outside of it. This means that you
must disguise yourself before appearing in public, you’d do well to avoid
drawing undue attention toward yourself, and any allies you have are either
wanted criminals as well or aid you only after thinking long and hard about
whether to do so. No one in polite society dares to be seen by your side, and
your opportunities for honest work are slim to none.
</p>
<p>
How did you get yourself in this predicament? The specific details of your
alleged wrongdoing are up to you to decide. For some inspiration and potential
ideas to help you build your character’s backstory, see the new
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ooalk01player.JournalEntryPage.01charactersug00]{Backgrounds}.
These backgrounds also provide you with an important hook: the name of the
betrayer responsible for your newly acquired criminal reputation.
</p>
<aside class="sidebar">
<h1 class="no-toc">Running this Adventure Path</h1>
<p>
Playing in Outlaws of Alkenstar is a blast, and running the Adventure Path
as a GM can be just as fun. If you’d like to run your own Outlaws of
Alkenstar campaign, doing so is as easy as picking up the first volume in
the series, <i>Pathfinder Adventure Path #178: Punks in a Powderkeg</i>, a
complete adventure for 1st- to 3rd-level characters. You can find this
volume and many more Pathfinder adventures at your friendly local game store
or <i>paizo.com</i>.
</p>
<p>
After the party has finished the first adventure, you can continue your
players’ exciting story in Alkenstar and conclude the campaign with the
second and third volumes in the Outlaws of Alkenstar Adventure Path: “Cradle
of Quartz” and “The Smoking Gun.”
</p>
</aside>
<h2>Gunmetal Grudge</h2>
<p>
Even if your character’s misdeeds were bound to catch up to them, the bulk of
the blame for your character’s ill fame rests firmly on the shoulders of one
of two infamous Alkenstar villains: the notoriously corrupt Deputy
Shieldmarshal Anjelique Loveless or the infamous business mogul Ambrost
Mugland. The backgrounds on page 11 are designed specifically to explain your
character’s grudge against either Loveless or Mugland, but you can pick either
villain as your sworn nemesis and tailor the reasons for your character’s
vendetta however you like.
</p>
<p>
Whichever of these wretches wronged your character, it’s an open secret in
Alkenstar that Loveless and Mugland are in league with one another, each using
their particular realm of influence to scratch the other’s back. Though this
makes them nearly impervious to the forces of law and order—few with the power
to do so are brave enough to take the pair to task—their alliance is useful
because it expands your character’s pool of potential allies. After all,
there’s a famous saying in Alkenstar: “A bullet for my enemy aims as true in
any gun.”
</p>
<h2>The Heist</h2>
<img

"
;=""
/>
<p>
In the days immediately preceding the beginning of this Adventure Path, your
character received word of a potentially lucrative job opportunity.
Apparently, a mysterious job broker is looking for a party of outlaws to rob a
bank called the Gold Tank Reserve in Ferrous Quarter. The employer is Foebe
Dunsmith, a tavern proprietor and barkeep much beloved by the rough and rowdy
clientele of her storied watering hole, the Bullet &amp; Barrel Saloon.
Dunsmith’s promised payment for the heist might be tantalizing, depending on
how hard up your character is. More importantly, though, is the fact that the
Gold Tank is owned by none other than Ambrost Mugland, and some of the gold
that flows through it eventually finds its ways into the pockets of Anjelique
Loveless and her league of crooked shieldmarshals.
</p>
<p>
With the goal of hitting your nemesis where it hurts most—the coin
purse—you’ve decided to take up Dunsmith on her job offer. To pull off such an
audacious stunt, you’ll be working alongside a handful of other outlaws who
also bear grudges against Mugland or Loveless. If you’ve any hopes of
succeeding at all, you’ll need to befriend these fellow felons and coordinate
your tactics, at least until you’ve gotten your sweet revenge.
</p>
<p>
在《霾都狂徒》冒险之路中，你和你的队友将扮演通缉犯的角色，你们必须按在法律之外游走以获得财富和自由，你们的终极目标有两个：清洗罪名，同时也要让毁了你人生的恶棍付出代价。
</p>
<p>
继续阅读这一部分可以帮你了解更多关于法外狂徒身份的含义、让你身败名裂的仇敌、以及即将到来的复仇机会。
</p>
<h2>法外狂徒 Outlawed</h2>
<p>
在这场冒险之路的开头，你的角色会被假定为一个法外狂徒——臭名昭著的恶棍，被通缉的叛徒，或者蒙受不公正指控的逃犯——目前正在逃亡途中，并且被阿肯斯塔官方以少则一两条多则一打的罪名起诉。你面临的指控可能是轻微的犯罪（如非法侵入、扒窃或非法闯入），也可能是重大犯罪（叛国罪、越狱或谋杀），也可能介乎两者之间。你可能在完全了解罪行后果的前提下犯罪，或者你认为自己在做正确的事，或者你别无选择。也许你根本没做错任何事，整件事只是个严重的误会或被人坑了。无论具体原因如何，你已经引起了阿肯斯塔官方警卫队——也就是盾勋执法官（shieldmarshals）的注意。
</p>
<p>
现在，为了保住你的自由并最终洗清你的罪名，你必须逃避法律的制裁，在法律之外行事。这意味着你必须在公众面前伪装自己，你必须谨慎行事，以避免引起别人对自己的过度关注，你的其他盟友要么跟你一样被通缉，要么在经过长时间的艰难思考之后才决定帮助你。上流社会没有人敢于站在你这边，你也找不到什么正经工作。
</p>
<p>
你是如何让自己陷入如此困境的？被指控的所谓的不当行为的具体细节由你自己设定。为了得到一些灵感或启发，你可以查阅11页的新背景@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ooalk01player.JournalEntryPage.01charactersug00]{Backgrounds}。这些背景还会为你提供一条重要线索：让你身败名裂的仇人的名字
<p>
<aside class="引用">
<h1 class="no-toc">运行本次冒险之路</h1>
<p>
游玩 《霾都狂徒》是非常棒的体验，但作为主持人运行这套冒险也同样有趣。如果你打算自己开团，非常简单，拿起该系列的第一卷，AP#178《一触即爆》（Punks in a Powder Keg），这本书包含 1-3 级的完整冒险。你可以在当地的实体店或 <i>paizo.com</i>上购买这本书。
</p>
<p>
在你们完成第一卷冒险之后，你可以在第二卷《石英摇篮》（Cradle of Quartz）和第三卷《证据确凿》（The Smoking Gun）中将令人兴奋的阿肯斯塔冒险故事继续下去。.
</p>
</aside>
<h2>超级大佬 Gunmetal Grudge</h2>
<p>
即使你的角色注定要为自己的恶行付出代价，但你的角色的大部分恶名都要归咎于两个声名狼藉的阿肯斯塔恶棍：臭名昭著的腐败副警长安洁丽卡·洛夫莱斯（Deputy Anjelique Loveless）或寡廉鲜耻的金融寡头安布罗斯特·穆格兰（Ambrost Mugland）。11页的背景正是为了专门解释你的角色为什么会和洛夫莱斯或穆格兰结怨而设计的，但你可以自由选择其中一个恶棍作为你的死敌，并根据你的喜好设定你角色的深仇大恨。
</p>
<p>
无论是这两个恶棍中的哪个让你的角色蒙冤，在阿肯斯塔，洛夫莱斯和穆格兰相互勾结已经是一个公开的秘密了。他们在各自的领域内运用自己强大而独特的影响力为双方牟利，这让他们变得几乎不受法律和秩序的约束——即便是当权者也没有勇气对付他们——该联盟至少还有点正面意义，因为你们能获得更多潜在的盟友。毕竟在阿肯斯塔有句俗话叫：“送给敌人的子弹可以在任何一把枪里。”
</p>
<h2>大劫案 The Heist</h2>
<img class="float-right" src="modules/pf2e-ap178-180-outlaws-of-alkenstar/assets/art/FOEBE_DUNSMITH_PORTRAIT_FINAL.webp" alt style="shape-outside:url('modules/pf2e-ap178-180-outlaws-of-alkenstar/assets/art/FOEBE_DUNSMITH_PORTRAIT_FINAL.webp')" />
<p>
在本次冒险之路开始前几天，你的角色会得到一个潜在的有利可图的工作机会。显然，一个神秘的职业掮客正在寻找一群不法之徒去抢劫铁区一家叫做黄金储备（Gold Tank）的银行。雇主是菲比·邓史密斯，是当地著名酒吧”枪管和子弹“的老板兼酒保，深受店里吵闹、粗鲁的顾客们的喜爱。邓史密斯开出的劫案报酬可能是十分诱人的，这取决于你的角色有多穷困潦倒。然而，更重要的是，黄金储备的所有者不是别人，正是安布罗斯特·穆格兰，而流经这家银行的一些黄金最终会落入安洁丽卡·洛夫莱斯和他手下腐败的盾勋执法官的口袋。
</p>
<p>
为了打击你仇敌的钱袋子，你接受了邓史密斯的工作邀请。要干成这票大的，你必须和其他同样对穆格兰或洛夫莱斯心怀怨恨的几个亡命徒一同合作。如果你希望取得成功，你有必要和犯罪同伙们交朋友并和他们展开战术配合，至少在你完成你甜蜜的复仇之前应当如此。

<p>Welcome to Alkenstar!</p>
<p>
If you’re reading this Player’s Guide, it means you and your friends have
decided to play in the Outlaws of Alkenstar Adventure Path. In this campaign
for Pathfinder Second Edition, you’ll create a 1st-level character and take on
the role of a criminal outlaw in a steam-powered metropolis. To get revenge on
the villains who ruined you, you’ll need to defeat clockwork creatures,

and myriad social spheres. If this sounds exciting, you’ve found the right
Adventure Path!
</p>
<p>
To play in this campaign, all you need is the Pathfinder Core Rulebook and a
character sheet. With the permission of your Game Master (GM), you can also
use other Pathfinder Second Edition books and accessories to further customize
your character. While not required to enjoy Outlaws of Alkenstar, Pathfinder
Guns &amp; Gears is an especially useful supplement to have on hand, as it
contains a number of character options and rules elements specifically
designed for characters in Alkenstar, the industrial metropolis at the heart
of this Adventure Path.
</p>
<p>This Player’s Guide is organized into the following sections:</p>

冒险之路了！
</p>
<p>
为了玩本次冒险，你需要一本二版《核心规则书》和一张角色卡。在得到你的主持人（GM）的许可之后，您还可以进一步使用其他二版书籍和扩展来进一步定制您的角色。《霾都狂徒》虽然并不要求玩家必须拥有《枪械全书》（Guns & Gears），&amp;但这本书对本次冒险是非常有用的扩充，因为它包含了很多专门为阿肯斯塔的角色所设计的角色选项和规则元素，而阿肯斯塔这座工业化大都会正是这条冒险之路的
核心舞台。

the villains who ruined you, you’ll need to defeat clockwork creatures,
collect fantastic firearms, and navigate industrial dungeons, magical wilds,
and myriad social spheres. If this sounds exciting, you’ve found the right
Adventure Path!
</p>
<p>
To play in this campaign, all you need is the Pathfinder Core Rulebook and a
character sheet. With the permission of your Game Master (GM), you can also
use other Pathfinder Second Edition books and accessories to further customize
your character. While not required to enjoy Outlaws of Alkenstar, Pathfinder
Guns &amp; Gears is an especially useful supplement to have on hand, as it
contains a number of character options and rules elements specifically
designed for characters in Alkenstar, the industrial metropolis at the heart
of this Adventure Path.

<p>欢迎来到阿肯斯塔！</p>
<p>
如果你正在阅读这本《玩家指南》， 这意味着你和你的朋友决定游玩《霾都狂徒》冒险之路。在这场开拓者二版冒险中，你将创建一个1级角色，扮演一位在这座蒸汽动力的大都会中犯下罪行的不法之徒。为了报复那些毁了你人生的恶徒，你需要打败发条生物、收集幻想风格的火器、在工业化的地下城、法力荒野和无数社交场合之间穿梭。如果这听起来让你兴奋不已，那么你找对
冒险之路了！

为了玩本次冒险，你需要一本二版《核心规则书》和一张角色卡。在得到你的主持人（GM）的许可之后，您还可以进一步使用其他二版书籍和扩展来进一步定制您的角色。《霾都狂徒》虽然并不要求玩家必须拥有《枪械全书》（Guns & Gears），&amp;但这本书对本次冒险是非常有用的扩充，因为它包含了很多专门为阿肯斯塔的角色所设计的角色选项和规则元素，而阿肯斯塔这座工业化大都会正是这条冒险之路的
核心舞台。
