[PFS] GM Derek W's Hall of Drunken Heroes (Inactive)

Game Master Derek Weil

Discussion here! Please report in character so we can determine subtier, housekeeping, etc.

Is this something more suited to a L7 'Hellknight', or would I be having a lot more fun as a level 8 Barbarian - 'Nordic but nice'? The wrapper (title) sort of suggests the Barb, if I am not wrong...

Well, here is the official description:

"Something is afoot at Cayden's Hall, the carousing temple-pub in Absalom where Cayden Cailean's faithful pay homage to their Drunken Hero. Pathfinder agent Osprey and his demonologist companion send you to investigate the truth behind a long-rumored demonic lab said to exist beneath the temple-pub's sticky floors. A trail of murders led Osprey to Cayden's Hall and his demonologist sees clues that denizens of the Abyss are involved. It's up to you to find out what demons want with the Drunken Hero's largest temple. Bar fights, revelry, song, and drink await within the Hall of Drunken Heroes."

So, you'll be at a bar hoping to track down some demons. Really, it could go either way, but the Barb is a more obvious choice. But the potential exists for some cool RP with the Hellknight.

Baron Rysalius Starnon, reporting for duty!

The Baron is currently finishing "The Fabric of Reality", so he isn't quite ready yet, but I expect things to wrap up pretty soon.

"More ale please.". The Druidic ranger begs sitting with his eagle companion.

Eagle Shaman 10 and Trapper/Falconer 1. Trapsmith, tank and summoning of giant eagles.

Adaxis! Good to see you again! You too Mousebane! Kayluss slaps the dwarf as he takes a seat next to him at the bar.

Shifty,
FYI I'm playing a Eagle Knight so bringing your Hellknight could be amazing or disastrous.

A Hellknight walks into a bar...

A half-elf ranger finds a place at the bar and quietly orders a drink.

Son of a B%*@#! Kayluss curses under his breath as he spots the Hellknight. Adaxis, you've got my back if a fight breaks out right?

This with be interesting :)

"O' course. We just finished fight'n demons together. I smell a barfight brewing..."

Adaxis returns the Eagle Night's welcome with a strong clawed handshake. Perched on his large round shoulders, Mousebane squawks twice to acknowledge Kayluss' offer.

I will be upgrading my belt of CON +4 to adding STR+4 for an additional 24,000 gp. That is my only purchase since last session. I will be changing my memorized spells as well.

Good news! The other game's GM says we'll be done shortly.

We aren't going to be fighting among ourselves, are we? Faldoc is already beginning to question his decision.

Rysalius has finished his earlier scenario, but hasn't received the chronicle sheet yet. I've just a couple items to buy and I'll be ready.

Now I know what a Chelaxian family reunion feels like.

In fairness, the Hellknight is an adopted Chelaxian!

Kayluss was born and raised in Cheliax, but when his father tried to force him into joining the Order of the Scourge Hellknights he burnt down his families ancestral manor, with his father inside, and fled to Andoran.

I'm fine with lower tier. Last session before retirement.

Hahah isn't that one of those classic lines?

So you were actually sort of supposed to "lose" that fight. The author put in a no-death encounter to kind of put high level PC's in their place. and if we had a party of four level 7's and 8's with season 1 resources only, you may very well have "lost".

Really, just lasting 10 rounds against the thing allows Osprey to do his thing with Dunnamast.

Nevertheless, very well done!

Now, on to the final act...

Day Job 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

And thanks GM, this was an odd but entertaining scenario - could be played for kicks (Drunken Caydenites brawling) or played as a horror theme (ala the Exorcist) - I hadn't even heard of this scenario before, but it is 100% going on my 'to run' list now. Will go for the sinister angle.

Yep, interesting indeed. Thanks as always!

I loved that scenario, especially the fight in the dreamworld. Thanks a lot for GMing it for us!

Any news on the chronicle sheets front? Sorry to be pressing, but we have another game coming up for Faldoc and I, so that Faldoc may get his final xp to play EotT.

Well, I have been having more computer and family issues than I expected. Tonight I will print them, and scans will be up within a day of that.

Main problem is I used to use work resources for this but with increased scrutiny in other areas, I want to avo u d this when possible.

Sorry to hear you are having a rough time mate :(

Oh, I'm sorry to hear about that. No worries at all, take the time you need.

Thanks fir understanding everyone. Good news: I got my printer at home.talking to my computer! So the sheets are printed. I will fill them out and try scanning tonight.

My kids aren't spending all night coughing either, so in theory I can do this when they go to sleep...

Thank you DM Derek!

I'll leave the thread open until tomorrow morning, then make it inactive.
