GM WhtKnt's Darkness Within: A Carrion Crown Adventure Path
Game Master
WhtKnt
From the whispering shadows of haunted Ustalav an ancient evil rises to grip the world in a new age of horror!
Amid the mists of this land of dark superstition and dread secrets stand both those who would defy the return of evil and those who would seek its terrible favor. Can the heroes discern their allies from their enemies in time to save a tortured realm from a tyrant’s return? Pathfinder’s darkest and most frightening campaign ever sets the heroes against the agents of Golarion’s most notorious villain, the Whispering Tyrant, in a terrifying trek across a land of lurking horror and ancient mysteries.

Well, my position at this one was to manage the PFS sessions for the game room. We suffered from a lack of experienced GMs, but I had a few who stepped up and helped out.
Sounds like you saved it. Good one.
I've been in that situation before.

I forget, do failed Diplomacy Aid Anothers penalize the original check?

No, no penalty for a failed aid another attempt.

Glad you guys like the roleplaying. :P I figure it's appropriate, since half of Ella's Diplomacy bonus comes from Edmund...
Maps: Car. Crown || Skull & Shackles
I agree that she did some awesome RPing back there.

So who has the highest Knowledge bonuses? We should have them do the research.

Yeah thats a toughie.... I have knowledge skills in the +4/+5 range so I am good for aid anothers. The library will likely yield a circumstance bonus. If we all aid another and succeed I am hoping a roll of 15+ should get us a good result.
GM what Knowledge check do we need? Local? History? Religion?
Female Human (Ustalav) Haunted 3
It would make sense for it to be either Local or History...which are not Ella's strongest skills. She has a base of +2 to any Knowledge skill, which also could be a good aid another baseline, but ultimately I'm guessing the best bets are Mathus and...maybe Lorant?

Apologies to my players. I got caught up in Christmas and family unexpectedly came to visit this week. I will get something up soon; meantime, please hang in there.

It's looking like we're about ready to move on to the next scene. Anyone have anytthing left to research or investigate, or should we do a "you all meet back at the inn for dinner" montage to prep for the trip to Harrowstone?

If we're ready to move on, then we can fast forward to the evening meeting at the inn.

Just to keep us on track, Lorant just asked Eleaonara a question.

Gah! Sorry. I totally missed that. My bad!!

Given that Judah stayed in the dining room, can he actually see the undead thing in the doorway? I'm not sure what they layout of the house is like.

Sorry for the extended absence without notice, folks. The family member that had congestive heart failure has been moved to a permanent care facility and I am one of the ones tasked with emptying her apartment and sorting through her things. I've been spending every day working from 8 AM to about 8 PM at that, then coming home and doing work for the convention that I am helping put on in a month. We have to get this done as soon as possible, because they want to rent out the apartment. I don't know how long this is going to take, but it shouldn't be more than another week, tops. I don't blame anyone for dropping me, or dropping out of my game, but I hope you will stick with it.

I'm willing to wait. Take as long as you need. :)

I'm here for the long haul. Loving the game so far.
Since we aren't on any kind of timeframe in game, and since Kendra just went through something awful, why don't we take this time to sit around the table with each other and talk. Most games don't have opportunities where GM absences line up so nicely with PC downtime?
What do you folks think? How about a little tavern talk to get to know each other better?

Bah. I think the dang forums ate my post. And now I have to go to bed. But rest assured, tomorrow I'll get in a response. Ella's going to be letting the gents take care of hauling the corpse...she's off to her room to quickly freshen up.
And by "freshen up" I mean "summon the immortal soul of her violent, criminal brother to protect her in case things go awry."

We've got one player who has cthuloid entities from the Dark Tapestry killing things every time he sleeps. We've another who needs to commune with the spirit of her dead brother. A half vampire and what is becoming an alcoholic alchemist are normal by contrast.

[Con Mode] I have a convention in less than two weeks (March 4-6) at which I am the Game Operations Director (presiding over the game room). I will try to keep a regular pace, but if I fall behind, that's why. These last two weeks are the most hectic. Just letting everyone know.

Caught that, did you? I thought it was pretty clever, myself. Yes, my badge reads G.O.D. It's an old joke from when I attended this con many years ago (yep, I've gone from attending as a child to helping run it). I couldn't think of a name, so I just put God on the badge and I've been using it ever since. Hilarity ensued several years ago when my mother attended the con with me. Her badge read, "Mother of God."

I love playing Lorant as surrounded by these horrible happenings and being all "just another day at the office." XD

Okay, everyone should be able to see the map, now.

Looks good to me, thanks!
Mathus, I realized that we may have a potential issue...I was going to let you know that Edmund is an outsider, not an undead, which I thought would circumvent your drawback, but then I looked at your sheet and realized that those trigger it too. So I'm not sure what to do about it...I'd hate for my class feature to keep making you shaken.
(Though I guess it's only a big issue if Edmund appears right as combat's starting...)

I can see the map fine, but no markers on it, it's like the map's empty.

Its all good - don't worry about me - its more RP opportunities. I'll deal with the fall out of my drawback.

Is it wrong of me that I'm imagining Edmund as being voiced by Mark Hamill doing his Joker voice?
Female Human (Ustalav) Haunted 3
Ooooh I have to go back to listen to that now. But probably not. :P
