DM-Camris' CARRION CROWN Chapter 1: The Haunting of Harrowstone
(Inactive)
Game Master
Camris
When a mysterious evil disturbs Harrowstone’s tenuous spiritual balance, a ghostly prison riot commences that threatens to consume the nearby village in madness and flames.
Can the heroes discover the secrets of Harrowstone and quell a rebellion of the dead? Or will they be the spirit-prison’s next inmates?
Doh!
Deepest apologies, my setup was inadequate. Too many unwarrented assumptions.
First: You (the PC's) all know each other by reputation at least; if you like, some of you will have adventured with each other and Professor Lorrimor.
Second: The new guys also received invitations to the Professors funeral from his daughter Kendra, but were delayed by strange weather, loose horseshoes, just general unluckiness. And close to town, wandering corpses; just staggering around frightening the peasantry.
Carry on!

If the thread is read from the start, it would appear that everyone was present at the Professor's funeral and helped to fight off the angry mob; not everyone followed back to Kendra's home; Dominia has manifested her Eidolon there for the first time and that was the last we heard of her or Jevalt or Ysabot.
We could play that they went into hiding for some time to avoid the superstitious dimwits, or that they were pursuing some side leads. Or we could handwave the game history and reintroduce ourselves.
Any of merensos options could work. Anyone have any preferences?

Gah!
Just checking in now, sorry for the lateness!

for me i would say looking into side leads, it might help move the story along in case the other players missed anything that the dm would like them to find.

Welcome newcomers, still here.
OK, lets say the new guys were off investigating other leads...

Hey gang,
I'm gonna be out of town and incommunicado tonight, all of tomorrow, and most of Sunday.
Male Half-Elf Ranger (skirmisher) 2
w00t! Now for the tough decision - should I follow the pregenerated path of the TWF, or make a switch hitter...

if we are rolling then this is 2 lvl hp roll
1d6 ⇒ 6
Go ahead and roll for HP, reroll if you get half of the potential die or less.
Male Half-Elf Ranger (skirmisher) 2
1d10 ⇒ 1
and that is why I love the PFS rule
1d10 ⇒ 10
on the other hand, I think I'm good

Ereviss, why two rolls? Everybody gets max a first level.

If the 1st was bad, my reroll was already on deck
Ereviss should be updated - took some more knowledge skills

Levelled now. Took the switch hitter path after obsessing over it like a donkey standing between two piles of hay :)

Does anyone want to react to the gameplay post, or shall I just kick the story forward?
Male Half-Elf Ranger (skirmisher) 2
I want to react but I'll do an IC post tomorrow. Basically if there are any survivors of the Harrowstone fire we have to talk to them.
I should point out that Ereviss, Merenso, Xiuj and Kendra managed to visit the Restlands cache of equipment, the one mentioned by Professor Lorrimor in his Journal.
Arrows, Silver x12
Sun Rods x4
Holy Water, x6 flasks
Arrows, +1 x10
Arrows, +1 Ghost Touch, made of ghostwood x5
Arrows, +1 Undead Bane, the tips glowing yellow/white x2
Potion, Cure Light Wounds x5
Potion, Lesser Restoration x2
Scroll, Detect Undead, CL3
Scroll, Protection from Evil, CL2
Scroll, Hide from Undead, CL1, x2
A thin darkwood case decorated with an image of a scarab with a single eye glaring from it's back.
The case contained a Spirit Planchette, Board and four Spirit Siphons.
Without going into too much detail, a Spirit Planchette can be used to ask questions of the spirit world, and a Spirit Siphon can be used to capture the essence of a Haunt.
I believe Merenso snagged the Arrows, but I haven't heard of anyone else taking any of the items.
Female Aasimar Summoner 3
If its cool I would like to take one potion of cure light wounds and 1 Lesser Restoration...
Can you all see my maps adequately? I worry they're too small.
I swear I have no idea why they shrink when I post them...
I forgot to ask, but can anyone on the team deal with the lock?
If no one can, Xiuj has a way, but it's a little destructive.

Are we ready to pay the piper? Come on, as they say on ghostbusters, GET EM
OK guys, what do you want to do? Go inside the special cell, go downstairs, go outside?

Go to Level 3!
HP generation convention:
Roll vs average+1, whatever is higher.

Dm Camris, thank you for keeping this going. I appreciate it.
level 2 hp: 1d8 ⇒ 5
Female Aasimar Summoner 3
Hi,
HP 1d8 ⇒ 4 for domminia so I guess it would be five and 1d10 ⇒ 8 for theodoric, yay!!!!
I PM'd the other players, to see if they're still in, but no answer after a couple of weeks. Want to recruit a couple new players?

Hello, will be taking over for Agrimar. Will post character this evening. Nice to meet y'all.
DM, would you like us replacements to stick with the previous portrayals of the character's thus far in the game?

For you reinforcements, you don't have to replicate the characters as they were before. These are YOUR characters now.

It can be hard to intimidate with a sword cane and a rapier :-)

Should I roll HP for lvl 2-3, and what is equipment budget? Assume third level, or just what the characters have on their sheets?
(edit-Went back and read all the old discussion, so I'll just roll HP now.
HP: 1d10 ⇒ 21d10 ⇒ 6
ouch, so 6 and 6 it is.
