Updating Carrion crown for Bestiary 5 and other stuff (Spoliers / GM Only)


Carrion Crown

Silver Crusade

So I'm going to be running Carrion Crown, and I've noted that a lot of the monsters are replaceable with newer ones that fit the themes better. Like the Skrum can be replaced with Deep Ones.

The final update will be added when the horror adventures book comes out. Luckily I have a while.

However does anyone have any suggestions on anything else that has better monsters in new books that better suit the setting and the like.

Silver Crusade

I haven't taken much of an in-depth look into it, as my party has only just started their adventures in Ravengro, but one cool monster that's thematically appropriate for Harrowstone is the Combusted from the Occult Bestiary. I was thinking of having it emerge from the furnace in Harrowstone, specifically, and have it replace the Old Ember Maw haunt. It's the same CR, anyway. Another possibility is to have a Combusted appear when the town hall catches fire, instead of the Flaming Skulls, but that might make the encounter too difficult overall.

Other creatures to consider could be the Tiyanak, Caller in Darkness, and Vukodlak for the time spent in Feldgrau; the Lesser Death and Nemhain for the final stages of Renchurch, or Gallowspire itself; also, if you like Fey or want to play up the themes of hostile nature, you could replace the Giant Tarantula fight in Ascanor with a Sangoi or two.

These are just a few creatures I think would work better than the current ones, but as I mentioned, I'm still at the beginning of the AP. There's always time to adapt.
