This reminds me, did Jeva survive in anyone's game? In my campaign, they didn't find out what she was, so I'm going to put her in Carnival of Tears, as hinted there. I'm thinking that she is caged in carnival grounds and asking players help to free her. Of course they will find out what she is, but maybe they will free her anyway. I'm curious if anyone else has the same situation, and what are you going to do with it.

Oh, I also started this with another group, mixing this and Hollows last hope together, but they didn't survive in the forest. Cauldron took one, dragon-thingie in the tree another and the rest of them were foolish and engaded to battle with the drunken hill giant... End of story =).

Yeah, made him sickened and everything, wiped them all out =). Happily this was a one shot game with people I don't get to play with so often. In my actual campaign the players were much smarter, they searched the ring and were sooooo kind to ol' giant. Just love this encounter. Best random encounter EVER.

I just finished running this for one of my groups, and I have a question. Is Hollow on the same continent as the Pathfinder Chronicles? I can't find it on the big map (not even an arrow pointing in the general direction), and the god who the mountain is named for is not one of the Pantheon listed in the Player's Guide.
Please let me know.

PS. My players "LOVED" Jeva (4 out of six with negative HP)!! :-)

Oops, my question has already been answered. For some reason on the early 2007 posts appeared when I was looking at the discussion.

PSS. In response to Salama's question, Jeva did survive.

Are the handouts downloadable anywhere? I've got the module, but would like to print out the aids if they're available. Thanks.

Thread necromancy for Nicolas:

The group ended up making it to the start of level 2, down the well in area 17, but they made a big tactical error by letting the kobolds from 17 retreat down the well and set up their defenses.

The party made the mistake of separating into two groups too, though to be fair, they technically had no choice because they were trying to destroy the Forge Spurned and realized they couldn't, so instead of being killed, three of them fled down the stalagmite hole.

That separation probably cost them their lives. The end result was a TPK, in combination with far too many natural 20s for the kobolds and natural 1s for the group. They were doomed. For a group of kobolds I would have only given about a 20% chance of defeating the party, they did very well!

Hey can anyone tell me what level you'd expect the PCs to be at by the end of the Module?

Well, I do not see a listing yet for the new Free RPG Day product, but it is a sequel of sorts for this one and I will be running it this Saturday at Games Plus 847-577-9656 in Mount Prospect, IL. Call and talk to Curt about reserving your spot. It is a fifth level adventure that picks up where the Crown of the Kobold King leaves off, sort of third in the series, I suppose. There should be enough of the adventures for each participant to have their own copy after we play, for those who sign up early enough.

I have yet to look at this fully since I'm actually playing through it in a few different games. But I've been handed the maps by my DM and given the job of making them player friendly so I figured i would give the environs to the board.

This is a wonderful map originally done by Christopher West whom does a crack shot job on these.

More to follow if wanted.

So, what other adventures and gamebooks besides Hollow's Last Hope, Crown of the Kobold King, and Carnival of Tears are in the 'Falcon's Hollow' series?

I like the setting (miserable as almost everyone in it is!) and would like to get the whole set.

Let's see, there's:
D1.5: Revenge of the Kobold King - a free PDF
D4: Hungry Are the Dead - expected in late Oct / early Nov.

Thanks to both of you gentlemen.

Found this review on-line.

I have had this for some time, but am just about to embark upon running it.

I was wondering - with most of my modules I received a free PDF of module, but not this one. Any reason for that?

Cheers, C

No win no fee ^^

thank you Lisa... I will give you some of my money then.

Nope. D0 and D1.5 were part of Free RPG Day, and that is why they are free and will remain so. D1 is our way to make back the money we spent making the other two free. :)

Worked for me. What're the next ones set in the area?

Thanks! Always looking for a campaign to prep in reserve. Those first two modules were on my want list on account of the awesome names.

Any chance Paizo will offer PFPRG conversions for the statblocks?

I just bought and read this adventure. There's a lot of good things to be said about this adventure, all of which have already been said - the encounters and NPC's are flavorful and well-designed (independently speaking)...I imagine players will enjoy this adventure.

However, there are flaws I see right away. As someone already mentioned, there is a serious problem with the layout of the dungeon and encounters...

*SPOILER ALERT*

For instance, there are predatory creatures, like a gelatinous cube inhabiting pathways between kobold tribemembers. There's one part where four ghouls are eating a kobold in one room and there are six kobolds on the other side of the door, seemingly unconcerned about the fact that there are four ghouls who could easily devour them as soon as they open the door.

Someone mentioned a typo with the new "Forge Spurned" (pretty neat new monster btw). I'm not so sure that's a typo - either way, the thing seems too overpowered to me - I don't see a party of four 2nd level characters surviving 40 hp beastie that has two attacks dealing 1d8+6 and 2d4+10+1d6 fire damage (plus special abilities!). I guess I haven't play-tested it, but my instinct says there is no way - the DM would have to engage in party protection and I hate doing that.

Finally, I really dislike one of the new monsters - a sabertooth giant toad/kobold steed. It's just too ridiculous. I can't stomach allowing such silly creatures into my campaign.

As a DM, I would recommend removing some of the encounters - creatures hostile to one another are just too packed-in to make sense. And it's nice to have just an empty room every now and then to let the PC's know that sometimes there is nothing to be encountered or found...this builds up suspense and excitement when they do actually encounter or find something worthwhile. Besides that, the adventure seems too tough for 2nd lvl characters as it is.

I also anticipate adding kobold "markings" of some sort to indicate danger zones for the kobolds. Kobolds are intelligent enough to do this and seems an absolute must for the kobolds' survival. Plus, it would be fun to have the PC's figure out what these markings mean.

Finally, I would replace the laughable sabertooth giant toads with a kobold companion that isn't quite so ridiculous...maybe a regular giant toad, giant lizards, or dire rats (I believe rats were kobold companions in 1E).

With that said, I give the adventure barely 4 stars for it's flavor and well-developed encounter. I'm just disappointed I'll have to do so much tinkering to make this adventure "realistic" for my campaign.
