    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    The guards hang back at the entrance. Two had split off earlier to move around to the back of the house, but this required taking a separate street for Ironbriar's home was a walled affair that joined onto two other walled establishments, and in turn others, to make a winding street of wall. Oh...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    OOC: Apologies for the delay - ENWorld was down for me (again), and then I had two professional exams, one yesterday and one today, so my focus was exclusively on that. Anyway, onwards with the show. Gamepost to follow right after my dinner.

    Conjecture and Prognostication concerning "The Rouse"

    Your cunning use of both logic and intellect is unsettling. Please avoid being both logical and intelligent in the same post again. It is dangerous!

    Pathfinder: Rise of the Runelords, Burnt Offerings OOC

    Discussion on where to run the next adventure (ENWorld, or elsewhere) and also on what ruleset to use (3.5e vs Pathfinder RPG) I wanted to kick start the discussion about where to host the next game. Each games seems to take about 1000 posts and last about 12 months. I have some concerns about...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    "Oh indeed, indeed! Please, if you will. That would be wonderful. I will send some guards with you, to seal the entrances and keep away prying eyes. He was a very influential man in this city, you know, and tongues will start wagging. I guess I need to work out how to handle the issues that will...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    Wow! Showing my age (or lack of memory), but I thought Raise Dead left you with a chance to come back as a random humanoid.... erm.... was that ever the case? So, yes, Raise Dead looks fine. 1 level lost, but a lot cheaper, so more reward money.

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    OOC: Start thinking about the path you are going to make with your next level, as we will be leveling up soon (except Kael at this stage). I am unsure whether to move to Pathfinder, but in a few days when we have tied this up we can move over to the OOC thread and have a proper discussion about...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    When you mention your fallen companion, Haldmeer purses his lips for a moment. "Let me organise that. The church ... they are reticent to perform this act. That old fool claims it is an insult to the Gods. But he will listen to me, for I can make his life easy or difficult. Yes, let me speak...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    Technically the way I would play it is that Kael would stay where he is, but the other 3 will gain a level for completing this adventure, so Kael will be half a step behind. By 1/3rd of the way through the next adventure he should be caught up, assuming we are all comfortable with my normal...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    Haldmeer Grobaras, lord-mayor Obtaining a meeting with the Lord-Mayor, Haldmeer Grobaras, was not as difficult as you had expected. Two guards had taken you to a small room where a clerk has filled out your request with a raised eyebrow, before disappearing into an antechamber. He had been...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    The gathered group parts to make way for the heroes and their dead. Mal walks slowly behind Jokad, his head hung low. Nobody stops them. Nobody asks them questions. But you can hear the shocked whispers and the muttering as people turn to their neighbours. Something big went down in the Shadow...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    OOC: I will post a large end-post tonight to tie things up, assuming you want to do the following: alert the mayor, get Kael raised if you can, perhaps search Ironbriar's house if it is appropriate, and then get some rest.

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    Jokad's sword is fine. He finds it lying under a pile of dislodged stones that fell from the new rent high in the wall of the tower where the bell struck. The blade is dirtied, but still sharp and sound.

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    Several people stand around, watching the tower. A tavern a few doors along from the old clocktower has about a half dozen people standing at the doorway, idly smoking, as they too talk amongst themselves and watch the tower. Clearly the noise of the falling bell, and perhaps battle, has reached...

    Thank You

    As someone who really disliked the path that WoTC took with 4e, and the way they trod on the community at times, it was always 'The Rouse' that would turn up and calm things down and make me think - "gee, this guy is really an awesome guy, and if he is here, keeping his company connected to the...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    OOC: I have arrived back, but a network issue that I have just resolved after several hours of trying has meant that there will not be a proper post tonight. The bird will be able to impart basic directions to Jokad - certainly enough to find the house of Ironbriar, especially given that Jovik...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    The bird is very revealing. It was a messenger. There used to be others, but she killed them a while ago in anger at something. He misses them. He shuttled messages back and forth between the elf (Ironbriar, you ascertain, after further questioning) and Xanesha. She lived here, spent most of her...

    OOC: We should take this to the OOC thread (my fault, sorry!), but I do love Islay whisky. My favourite as a student was proper firewater: Talisker. I even went to the distillery as a sort of pilgrimage. Then I moved more towards the Ardbeg iodene taste, but over the last 5 years my taste has...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    First of all, we Scots do not called it Scotch, we call it Whisky (Whiskey with an 'e' is from Ireland) ;) Second of all, a nice bottle can cost a LOT of cash. I have a 1975 Ardbeg in the house, single cask, unopened, cost me $140 about 4 years ago. So I think I would need to know what your...
