I just remembered something not-so-important... While picking the plant-stuff on the little island my bard Arturo Fonzarelli had an epiphany: there's just never going to be a better opportunity to jump a horrendous aquatic beast (sharks, hippos... what's the difference anyway?) on water skis (sticks) towed by a motorboat (samurai with potion of fly), is there?

So... That happened. The hippo even tried to grab a bite!

Arturo's comment: "Aaayy!"

Oh brother!

Your PCs can, however, use blood transcription during the scenario assuming they have an open slot. And despite no baleful polymorph, any alchemist playing this scenario should be extremely happy. :-)

FYI, unfortunately blood transcription was banned about a year ago.

We ran high tier and were slightly hard tied because we only had 5 players. We generally broke into 3 groups and we able to get the items to repair both golems, complete the faction mission for the exchange and avoid the final encounter. The ranger had some amazing handle animal checks for the root to avoid combat at the hippos and a well places charm person and we avoided the battle for the pearl and we were able to pay them half up front. However we had some serious difficulty in the warehouse battle. We almost had two party deaths because the caster was just layering the area with mist and two people got engulfed. The only reason why we survived was due to some speed buffs and my cleric finishing off the cube before people died which was impressive because I play more of a bad touch/compulsion type of cleric with some channeling buffs which really were eliminated due to note having line of sight to anything and the cube was kinda immune to most of my tricks. Spiritual ally proved effective because the cube engulfs it, the ally made of pure force doesn't care and keeps attacking. Overall good encounter though players need to understand that you need to spend money and that diplomacy is a useful skill.

Looking over #8-15 reminded me of a question that I never asked about this scenario...

Chronicle Sheet items:

The CUREALL and HYPE appear on the chronicle sheet with their full stat blocks, but not in the tier breakdowns at the bottom of the page. Are these meant to be limit 1 or are they available to the character(s) who receive this sheet as if they were an additional resource?

Thanks!
