The Ruby Phoenix Tournament is a team fighting championship named after a famed sorceress. The winning team gets to pick a single item from a legendary hoard, but such things are never that simple.

The group

This party has been playing together since January 2021. Everyone is stable, punctual, respectful, and fun to be around. One player left in December due to work issues, and i was so loathe to tamper with the party dynamics i didn't even look for a replacement. Recently a second player had to take a break for personal reasons, and three just isn't as fun. My goal is to recruit up to a party of five, leaving room for him to come back in a few months.

Fortunately there's a second highly appraised PF 2e module that takes place in Tian Xia. Which brings us to...

The game

It's heavily inspired by Enter the Dragon, Mortal Kombat and the general anime trope of combat competitions.
