    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    OOC: Regarding Kael's Death Don't be disheartened. This is one of THE hardest encounters in the adventure, AND this is a Paizo adventure (read: notoriously hard), and this is the first party death we have had so far in almost 2 years of play. Also, we are in a major city at the moment, so if...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    OOC: Previous Round Jovik, seeing his large companion fall, circles around behind the monstrosity and stabs at it. His weapon bounces off the flesh of the creature, leaving little more than the slightest scratch. Jovik winces in frustration. OOC: The creature is a construct (not undead) Init...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    Init Order: Scarecrow (20), Danth (19), Bison (19), Jokad (11), Kael, Jovik (no post as of yet, so assume last in round) The scarecrow, seeing the pain on the face of the barbarian, seems more focused on finishing him off that worrying about some glorified holy cow behind him (and anyway, the...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    Init Order: Jovik (22), Scarecrow (18), Danth (12), Jokad (10), Kael (6) (note: I am assuming Jovik is taking a "withdraw" action) The scarecrow watches Jovik dart back and moves in careful pursuit of the rogue. Seeing his way blocked by the barbarian, the monster shrugs and offers up another...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    Jovik moves slowly and carefully to the right, skimming along the shadows (and there are many, many shadows in this old building, added to by the dancing light that seems to stream from cracks in the walls and bleeding light from the stairs and above). The others move towards the stairs, keeping...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    Not a problem, real life does have a tendency to throw curve-balls on occassion. If any of you guys thinks that you need a few days off from posting, or will be slow for a week, etc., just post a quick one-liner in the OOC thread (or here in the IC with an OOC tag), and I can make sure that...

    OOC: Anyone else? I am going to move it on tomorrow if not.

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    OOC: Too early in the day to go into a pub and expect to find anyone other than the cleaners and owner getting ready for the day ahead. Certainly the seasoned gambler types will still be in bed sleeping off the worst of their excesses from the night before. You approach the tower - the time is...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    Just to repeat and add to the post about the tower, before we get moving (and to provide some response to your monitoring of the tower from a safe distance): Hidden beneath the grimy blackened goliath that is the Irespan, the lesser works of men huddle like weeds at the foot of the great trees...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    In short, the cultists masks heightens the wearer's ability to sense fear. Further, fresh blood glows brightly to him, to the extent that he can see the shimmering traceries of living circulatory systems pumping away in the bodies of those around him. What benefits this incurs you can only find...

    Playing Evil

    There is always the Midnight campaign setting for this sort of campaign. Sure, it is set up to play the weary hero, but I think they did a book on how to play on the dark side, so to speak.

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    The masks are quite horrific. They just feel WRONG. Definitely magical! (make a roll if you want more). The leggings were rather dainty striped affairs. The tunic was fine quality silk, a bit torn and bloodied in places. As for Jokad - the bodyguard was not dressed in fancy clothes - just fine...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    Agreed. Everyone rested. Everyone fully healed. Jokad has brought the gear, lets rock and roll!

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    Good idea, but the chance of Jokad squeezing into those tight leggings is close to zero, and his breastplate is likely to get in the way. He may be able to improvise, though. As for the masks - they can be taken and worn, but beware....

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    With things cleared up, and Ironbriar pointing out that his coachman is stabled nearby and should be told to wait for the night, Kael decides to perform this duty. Ironbriar looks exhausted - not so much from his physical exertions (although he is bruised and bleeding), but perhaps more from his...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    OOC: Placeholder - I will move things on today, regardless of the lack of posts. I will assume the following unless otherwise stated: 1) Resting here after a sweep of the place 2) Jovik to do a search, as per usual 3) Full rest, with the elf being guarded during the rest period by a rotating...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    Well, if you did buy the book, but then found that you had no use for it, you could at least be happy in the knowledge that if the earth were to experience a sudden and dramatic great-freeze, you could use the Pathfinder RPG to keep your family warm for an entire year, page by page by page...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    Lets move it on! Rest or push on. The choice is yours. Also, there is the room here that you haven't explored yet.

    Pathfinder 1E Roll Call: The Pathfinder RPG

    Walked in to Orc's Nest in London yesterday and he had a pile. Says he ordered lots and has sold LOTS, but perhaps 15 left that I could see. I snapped one up. I then cancelled my pre-order at Amazon. I should never have used Amazon anyway, as it is important to support your FLGS (and we have a...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    Justice Ironbriar smiles weakly. "I was trying to kill you at the time! We have a deal now, though, and to show my good faith, I can remove the effect I placed upon you." He stands and moves towards Kael. Seeing the steel that appears in Jovik's hand, he steps back a little. "I cursed him...
