Chapter 4: "Wake of the Watcher"
by Greg A. Vaughan

No one goes to Illmarsh. An ugly town, unfriendly to strangers and squatting amid the nastiest stretch of swamp in Ustalav, Illmarsh seems to breed rumor and madness, and those who speak of it always whisper of strange disappearances, misshapen shadows, and sacrifices to things terrible and forgotten. But when the trail of the death cultists known as the Whispering Way leads to Illmarsh, it’s up to the PCs to learn the secrets of the sickly village. There they’ll find a desperate people, caught in a war between beings from beneath the seas and invaders from the darkest corners of the cosmos. Can the heroes save Illmarsh from its tradition of terror? Or will they be the next victims of the horror from beyond the stars?

    This volume of Pathfinder Adventure Path continues the Carrion Crown Adventure Path and includes:
  • “Wake of the Watcher,” a Pathfinder RPG adventure for 9th-level characters, by Greg A. Vaughan
  • Blasphemous secrets of the foul faiths known collectively as the Old Cults and sanity-shattering gods such as Azathoth, Nyarlathotep, and Cthulhu, by James Jacobs
  • A giant bestiary filled with eight classic monsters inspired by the writing of H. P. Lovecraft and the tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, by James Jacobs and Greg A. Vaughan
  • Laurel Cylphra’s discovery that the dead aren’t the only dangers in Ardis in a new entry into the Pathfinder’s Journal, by F. Wesley Schneider

Each monthly full-color softcover 96-page Pathfinder Adventure Path volume contains an in-depth adventure scenario, stats for several new monsters, and support articles meant to give Game Masters additional material to expand their campaign. Pathfinder Adventure Path volumes use the Open Game License and work with both the Pathfinder RPG and the standard 3.5 fantasy RPG rules set.

ISBN–13: 978-1-60125-311-8

Wake of the Watcher or Look we can do Lovecraft too!

1/5

By now, it appears the writers have forgotten that they are writing a story about the Whispering Way and just want to toss any old horror setting into a book to just show they can. I’ve seen various groups playing this AP and often they don’t even remember the Whipsering Way any longer and DM’s have to constantly remind them. The Cthulhu aspect is not terribly done and enjoyable if that is the focus of the campaign or one off. But when taken with the return of the theme of the adventure it makes no sense to have it in here other than to just say “We can do Lovecraft in Pathfinder”.

The module is rather enjoyable by itself and does add in a fun creepy factor that people like with the Lovecraft theme but alienates itself completely with the Adventure Path. This departure from over all theme has been reflected in the rating. Take by itself, it’s a five but as a part of the greater whole, it’s a one.


Cthulhu Dungeon crawl

3/5

Overall an enjoyable adventure but not a strong entry in the CC AP. The adventure starts off strong with investigation and memorable setting and NPCs. However, it then quickly slips into a hackfest as the party must essentially clear out 3 locations (albeit 3 interesting and well-written locations). There are some great encounters, lovecraftian references that help mitigate this but the adventure still feels like a missed opportunity in using the mythos. Additionally, the background is a muddle and needs to be streamlined. For DMs running this as part of CC I suggest you look on providing the party more motivation to be following the Dark Rider (perhaps some more fleshed out clues as to the Raven's Head) as a DM sticking to the written content may find players wondering why they're going to all this trouble.


Very portable

5/5

Due to some player vacationing, I subjected my Serpents Skull group to this. Even though they were higher level (12-13) than the book would recommend, they still had a great time. The dungeon at the end is creepy and mind warping enough to slip in anywhere. Obviously I can't speak for the overall story plot line, but if your group enjoys some Cthulhu in its D&D, you will enjoy this book.

Spoiler:
The idol that communes with Dagon is a personal favorite, my players have carried it around for months debating whether to use it or not!

Already looking forward to this AP.


Note to self: Required reading (rereading in my case) before running this adventure. A Shadow over Innsmouth.

Lovecraftian awesomeness!


I love Lovecraft, I´ve read a lot of the Mythos books and played some "Call of Cthulhu" adventures, which I really enjoyed. But I´m not the biggest fan of the Mythos for Pathfinder. Nevertheless I´m sure this will be a great module. I liked all of Gregs adventures so far.

Every other module in this line mentions two support articles, and then "five new monsters in the bestiary." However, this module only seems to mention one support article (Old Ones), and then "an expanded bestiary." Is this preview incomplete, or is the bestiary in this case going to be long enough to count as the support article?

I mean, I could use a refresh on the stat block for Cthulhu. The one I have from CoC d20 is 3.0 - it's time to Pathfinderize!

Ye Gods!

Ia! Cthulhu!

Since James Jacobs already mentioned elsewhere that Paizo wouldn't be statting up anything Epic until they finally do some epic rules (at least a year or so, he said), I don't think we'll see any Old Ones themselves...however cool that might be. Perhaps one day...when the stars are right.


Does the structure of the APs more or less require that the books be played in sequence? That is, playing this one without the previous ones in the series won't make sense? The Haunting of Harrowstone and this one look good - #2 and #3 don't. Do I need to play #2 and #3 to have #4 make sense? To what extent could I scrub out the continuing plot arc against the Whispering Way and make these work as independent modules?

The bestiary for this one (which I am writing) will be twice as big as a typical bestiary; it'll take up the normal bestiary slot and one of the support article slots. Which equates to about ten monsters, all but one of which are going to be drawn from Lovecraft's writing. (The tenth will fit right in with the rest, though—it's gonna be a new one designed specifically for the adventure.)

It will likely NOT have stats for Cthulhu, though—we don't have our epic rules worked out yet, and we'd need them to stat up something like a Great Old One. The creatures in the bestiary will be monsters—akin to the shoggoth, the gug, and the denizen of Leng (all of which we've already statted up in various books).

The APs are designed to be played in sequence, yes, but that doesn't mean you can't reorganize adventures to your whim. It'll just take a bit of work.

That said... if you're really intrigued by some of the adventures,you really SHOULD check out the ones that don't look as good to you, because it's really REALLY hard to do justice to the adventures in this preview text—especially since the preview text is written before the actual adventure is written.


Hello, James:

I should not have said they don't look good - they look just fine but the main subject as described doesn't look like my cup of tea. My take on the blurbs is this:
#1 ghosts
#2 frankenstein's monster
#3 werewolves
#4 shadow over innsmouth
#5 vampires
#6 fight against big bad and his cultists

Of these #1 (especially) and #4 look most like my cup of tea. The others might be great, though. I was just wondering if they only work if you play them in sequence.

Thanks for all the hard work.

Don't know about moon beasts, but the Denizens of Leng were first statted up (that I remember seeing) in Rise of the Runelords #6, "Spires of Xin Shalast".

PF#6 has Leng stuff in it, as well as one of the Legacy of Fire AP, I think Jackal's Price, don't have it in front of me now though.

There's only one stat you need to know:

Cthulhu kills you. But not before you go insane from being in his vicinity.

For those interested Paizo have published the following Chtonic monsters that I can remember:

PF #4 - Hounds of Tindalos
PF #6 - Denizens of Leng
PF #11 - Gugs
Bestiary - Shoggoths, possibly others

PF #10 also has a horrific beastie from beyond human ken, but I'm not sure if it's specifically something Lovecraft wrote.

Thanks everyone for compiling this list. Too bad all of these are fairly low on my to-buy list (other than the Bestiary, which I already own), but I'll certainly pick them up at some point in the future.

Actually, in the original fiction there's very little about them at all, other than that they're big, purple, live on the plateau of Leng, and are at war with Leng's other denizens. That last bit is the key—everyday Colossal monstrous spiders, being mindless, can't go to war. That implies that the spiders of Leng are more akin to how I statted them up in the Bestiary 2 (and incidentally similar to how Chaosium presents them in their Call of Cthulhu game). Which, considering the Dreamlands already has lots of intelligent animals/vermin (like the cats of Ulthar) fits perfectly with that world.

I might be mistaken, but IIRC I believe James, or someone else has said that Mythos creatures like Cthulhu will never be statted out in Pathfinder because they are on Earth, though we can look forward to the ones that are a bit more extra-dimensional or otherworldy.

@Erik: Not only that, it's a wimpy Cthulhu. CR 34, and just a demigod?

@SwnyNerdgasm: It's Cthulhu specifically that's he's stated is sleeping in the Pacific, but that's only at one specific point in time - and besides, many of the Great Old Ones are not as restricted by the flow of time as might be expected.

What's really got me excited was the comment by James that the support article in PF#46 will be about the Great Old Ones. And such marvelous timing for my home campaign ...

Demi-god is a perfectly acceptable classification for Cthulhu. After all, he's merely one of the Great Old Ones. The true powers of the Mythos are the Outer Gods (Azathoth, Yog-Sothoth, Shub-Niggurath, and Nyarlathotep).

Is Nyarlathotep actually an outer god or just some sort of minion? I always wondered what his power level is compared to the rest of the outer gods and to the great old ones.

As an aside, I hate using the term "power level" in this case. It sounds like I'm talking about a Dragonball Z character or something. I can't think a better phrase though.

Also, who necessarily says that the "now" of Golarion is the same "now" as early 21st century Earth?

The last sentence of The Dream-quest of Unknown Kadath, "The crawling chaos Nyarlathotep strode brooding into the onyx castle atop unkown Kadath in the cold waste, and taunted insolently the mild gods of earth whom he had snatched abruptly from their scented revels in the marvelous sunset city."

He can summon gods...

Paizo Employee Creative Director

There are two classifications of these guys, classically, and those are the two we use in Golarion as well:

Great Old Ones (powerful entities on par with demigods, aka demon lords and arch devils)
Outer Gods (actual deity-level powers)

Both categories can grant spells to clerics in Pathfinder.

Neither category will be supported by stat blocks. At least, at this time. If we ever develop rules for post-20th level play, stat blocks for demigods (and thus Great Old Ones) becomes possible. But actual deities (such as the outer gods) still won't have stat blocks.

Nyarlathotep, in any event, is an Outer God.

Teach me to write things based on memory. I was confusing quasi-deities (divine rank 0) with demigods (divine rank 1-5). Have to have at least divine rank 1 to lose the auto-fail on saves if you roll a 1.

So yes, you're absolutely right - demigod is perfect for Cthulhu.

Still doesn't change the fact that I'm waiting with great anticipation for June when I'll get PF#46. They've already run into the d20 version of Cthulhu (slightly altered, and CR35), and I have great plans ...

(I'm with deinol on seeing an aspect of Nyarlothep and some of the other Outer Gods - I imagine an above-20 rule set would include a system for creating things such as aspects.)

*nod*

I didn't expect that Paizo would use the rank system, it seems a bit too clinical to me. Until such time as there are Pathfinder rules for beyond level 20, that and the ELH/epic SRD are what I've got to work with (along with a smattering of other stuff such as Dicefreaks, Craig Cochrane's Epic Bestiary, and Mongoose's Epic Monsters). It's unappealing to me to run a Kill the Gods style campaign, but the players do run across avatars of greater beings, from time to time.

Thankfully for them, not too often.

I wonder, will the details on Azatoth be the same as those presented in the 3.5 module "Crucible of Chaos"? One of the few times I was a player instead of a GM, my character was a cleric of Azatoth. Maybe I'll have to bring him back as an NPC for this adventure if I run it...

They'll be similar. Changes to the game (Crucible of Chaos was 3.5, not Pathfinder) and changes to how we've integrated the Mythos into Golarion (Crucible of Chaos was still in the "testing folks' appetite for it stage) have seen some changes, but it's still Azathoth!
