    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    Init Order: Cultists (23, Jovik (21), Danth (21), Kael (14) The room erupts. They are fast, these men. The first figure at the door who had been called over runs to the back of the room and quickly lifts his weapons. As he turns to face you from the far end of the room, you can see that his...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    OOC: I need to apologise - I just spent 90 minutes trying to get my new monitor set up and failing. Turns out to be a bug in the Mac OS release I use. Nothing I can do about it, but I have lost the night. I am also out tomorrow night getting as drunk as a skunk, so no update until Friday. Very...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    OOC: Happy with Jokad's actions, and entertained by his embarrassing failure. It seems that he aint' quite the kid he used to be. Jovik springs forward, plunging his dagger into the side of the remaining man. He gasps as the blade sinks into his flesh, and quickly blood is pooling over Jovik's...

    Pathfinder: Rise of the Runelords, Burnt Offerings OOC

    It is good to have you all back (sobs pathetically like a mother trying to make her fully grown children feel guilty for not visiting often enough). Let's see how we get on. I think it is worth plodding through. There are only 2 major scenes left (and this is one of them), and then we are on to...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    I will post an update Tuesday (too much wine tonight to be coherent!) - If Jovik's position is not altered I will assume a full (sneak) attack. Oh, and my laptop died, so I am forced to write this on a tiddly netbook so please excuse some typos and post truncation over the next few days until I...

    Pathfinder: Rise of the Runelords, Burnt Offerings OOC

    I must admit that I am pretty close to calling an end to the game. The last week has clearly been a dead zone, but even the last month has felt like I have been trying to maintain player interest and some momentum in the game. I had worried that the second adventure in the AP would not lend...

    Pathfinder: Rise of the Runelords, Burnt Offerings OOC

    Ha! Wife and 2 young kids - not going to happen!!! Saying that, my wife is American, and my kids have US passports. I lived in NYC for a couple of years a while ago, and chances are one day I will end up back in the States, but not at the moment.

    Pathfinder: Rise of the Runelords, Burnt Offerings OOC

    I read the recap on the Paizo blog, and it sounded awesome. I am a huge Paizo fan (you should see my book shelf), but until they do a European conference (one day ... one day) I think I am going to have to sit out the PaizoCon.

    Pathfinder: Rise of the Runelords, Burnt Offerings OOC

    Well, it looks like Fenris (Jovik) wants to stand around and wait, although there is a limit to the invisibility timing. Friadoc (Kael) hasn't reported in since Paizocon, but will hopefully be back soon. Frostrune (Jokad) mentioned in the IC thread that he was on holiday for a week, so i guess...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    The Workshop The stairs end, opening up into a large workshop. Again, large openings in the floor offer pulley systems and chains to lift and lower wood. A thick layer of sawdust covers the floor, mounded nearly a foot deep in places. Workbenches sit here and there in the room, their surfaces...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    The stairs reach another floor, with a large open area that reveals the floor below and above. The stairs continue on up, but on this floor, there is a small storeroom immediately before you, open to reveal cleaning equipment and the likes. The main room, off to the right, also has the door...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    OOC: Very funny :) When I saw the picture in the adventure the first thing I thought was: try going to work every day in that setup - you would get laughed out of town. "There goes mike to the disco sawmill", and yes, the costumes are ridiculously stupid for people who work in a sawmill :confused:

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    You climb the stairs slowly and quietly. There is a small room at the top of the stairs with an open door that leads into a larger storeroom. The floor in the small room includes a large space open to the floor below and also continues open to the floor above, and another floor above that...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    The entirety of this first floor consists of a loading area. An opening in the ceiling into the floor above is filled with a tangle of ropes and slings for lowering timber. Nearby, a flight of stairs ascends to the next floor. Two sturdy wagons sit to the south, next to a bank of machinery...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    OOC: You are correct - just keep him close (perhaps a hand resting on his head) as you explore

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    OOC: I assume Kael is using 4 x invisibility, leaving him with 2? remaining second level spells today. This spell will last for 6 minutes. Just a reminder - you are not magically silenced and cannot see each other, so you may want to agree the strategy first. Also, I assume you are planning on...

    OOC: In response to the survival check - there is no sign of the carriage having returned.

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    The mill is a large building, about 45 foot long by 30 foot wide. It rises 4 floors (the ground + 3) up, but also has an undermill floor (recessed with the large wheels that are churned by the river to power the mill). The main entrance is round the back (facing the river), reached by a wooden...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    OOC: You can either knock the door, or try and go the stealth route. If you elect stealth, can Jovik do some rolls for me please (assuming he goes in first)
