    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    Moving On OOC: The question as to what you left behind on Thistlepoint ... well, if you cannot remember then the answer must be 'nothing' ;) IC: A decision is made to move on as soon as you are all ready, and as soon as Jokad is feeling strong again. Danth stays with the barbarian for a few...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    OOC: What is Minor Restore? Do you have a link? The Remove Disease does not restore ability damage, but it will stop further damage from occurring. IC: Danth awakes the next morning an hour before dawn, and begins his prayers. He washes in some cold water, and then lays hands upon the fitful...

    Kobold Quarterly and 4e

    It is not "hate" - just economics mixed with game flavour and direct usefulness. I mean KQ is not "all inclusive" - and if crunch made no difference then we may as well use magazines/articles written for Warhammer FRP, Gamma World, Castles and Crusade, etc. Just to make my point clear: There...

    Goblin ecology sources...

    I love goblins! Paizo's Classic Monsters Revisited is a bit hit and miss as suggested above, but the Goblin info that is so excellent is also largely contained within the amazingly good BURNT OFFERINGS adventure. This is the 1st adventure in the Rise of the Runelords adventure path. I have GMed...

    Kobold Quarterly and 4e

    I am in the camp that (as a subscriber) see KQ as the only magazine that offers 3e and PF focus. If, as appears to be the happening, it continues to increase over time its page-count dedicated to 4e then I personally feel that it will be losing one of its key selling points. I know I will stop...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    A Waste of a Good Night Well, that pretty much put an end to any hopes for a fun night. Danth took Jokad back to his room and spent the night with him. The big Shoanti slept fitfully, but he did sleep, and so too did Danth, eventually. Jovik had helped get the barbarian back to his room, and...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    OOC: Jokad will be fine (albeit sick) until his constitution hits zero .... then .... well then you don't want to be near any of your friends, cause they are sure going to look tasty!

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    OOC: I noticed, but Jokad was resisting your overtures and not letting you do the required examination, so I posted to show he sort of brushed you off. Danth takes a close look at Jokad, peering into his eyes, looking at his tongue, smelling his breath, measuring his pulse, checking his glands...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    Sheriff Hemlock and the Feast You walk solemnly to the sheriff's office, perhaps heavy in heart knowing you have a funeral at dawn (or perhaps heavy in heart knowing you cannot get horrendously drunk tonight given that you have to be up before dawn). When you do arrive, Hemlock is waiting for...

    All - If you want to react to Zanthus then do so. I will post the Sheriff and evening (fun?) post tomorrow.

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    Return to Sandpoint (again) You have made this walk before, the triumphant return of the heroes to Sandpoint after vanquishing the evil. Only, it never works like that. it is always a bit anti-climactic. Your bodies ache (probably as much from 2 nights sleeping on a wooden floor than from any...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    Jokad quickly rebuffs your attempts to examine him (there are no great big bleeding wounds on his body, so as far as he is concerned he is fine), but you can tell from his pallor that something is wrong with him. His brow is sweat spotted, his hair looks clammy, his eyes dull and a little...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    OOC: Let me know what you want to do. I guess the shortlist of options include: 1) Try to burn the house to the ground (it is a bit of a damp and moldy mess though, so don't expect it to go up like paper) 2) Return to Sandpoint and a) go to mayor b) go to sheriff c) go to get the child buried...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    The return upstairs is done in considerably higher spirits. Kael can feel from Mal the dog's distinct relief that the previous palpable evil that shrouded this place has lifted. Jovik too, knowing that he has one last task in laying the child's corpse to rest in a proper grave, feels at one with...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    Consecrating the Taint of Evil Danth takes his time, completing the consecration ritual with solemnity and care. As the spell completes his holy symbol starts to vibrate with energy. He can feel it in his hands, as the energy starts to build. When it escapes, a thick beam of light shoots...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    Descent into the Caverns It is a quiet walk back downstairs. There is little to say. Perhaps a tinge of anti-climax to the whole affair. The caverns stink. The putrid bodies of the rats are already decaying, as if some force was at work to accelerate their descent into mulch. When you reach...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    The floor is fine ;) The room appears to have been used as a study and observatory, although the thick layer of dust suggests that Aldern was not a fan of these pursuits. The stained glass window is impressive, and doesn't look entirely in place (such a grand window for such an incomplete...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    The Attic The stairs lead up into a very large attic space, open and with small windows studding the sloping roof space. The space clearly spans the entire floor space of the house, and has been built into the roof. A desk and a chair sit at the far end of this drafty room. Chimneys rise to...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    OOC: It ain't a "photo" :) I am not sure that they have cameras in Golarion ;) You search the room, feeling ill at ease the whole time. There is little here. I mean, it is the master bedroom, and there are clothes in wardrobes, shoes on racks, scented waters, mirrors, brushes, and so on, but...

    Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

    The Painting Jovik turns the heavy, decorative (but very worn and chipped by age) gold frame to reveal the painting underneath. The image is that of a noble woman, painted in dark oils, and further darkened by time. She looks pretty, although perhaps a little well fed. As you observe the...
