Haunts in my opinion weren't done well. I like the idea of a spooky type of trap but the mechanics just don't feel right.

I would have guessed that the corpses wanted to be cut down and given a proper burial, in this case. Or to be avenged.
Maybe in longer format play, or if the point of the adventure was to figure out how to get rid of a haunt I would like it better but it always feels like in PFS the proper way to deal with a haunt is to avoid it instead of solve it.
The one thing I know about haunts is that Knowledge (religion) is usually your go-to for "How to beat this"... though sometimes other skills help.
Also, Holy Water is your best friend.
Edit: Unfortunately, Solumn is not experienced enough for either of these options to have been available.

Ya those with K Religion tend to be pretty limited, and you've only got 1 round at best to do something before they activate. I just haven't read enough rules on them to be smooth and less clunky than say a regular trap is.

Oh for sure. I've run enough scenarios at this point to agree with that assessment. Some of them run just fine, and others seem to be kinda slapped together haphazardly.

As someone who loves them when they work well, Haunts definitely need some major overhaul in second edition. Haunting of Hinojai is still one of my all-time favorites.

Heh.. no worries, dude. Just a little friendly ribbing. Glad to hear that you're working again. :)

Thanks! It's been an overwhelming week and a half so far. Starting a new job anywhere is tough, but this is a new industry for me so it's information overload right now.
And I can't PbP from work.... yet! :)

Heh. Well, either way, it's been an enjoyable (and creepy!) ride. :)

Wow. That was fast! LoL. Everything looks good on my end. :)
Thanks again. Feel free to hit me up if you decide to run anything else. :)

Mine looks good, too. Thanks for the quick (and good) game and congrats on the new job! Hopefully it will be rewarding even if it is challenging.

Thank you so much! I definitely think Black Midknight gonna need to save for that veil, even just for the aesthetic!

Looks good thanks Red.
Had a great time playing with you all. Uptempo games are good when they work, keeps you involved and in character better I think.

Agreed. Doesn't happen to often, but helps keep the feeling of the game going.
Sorry if I wasn't as chatty with Solumn when the banter was flying. I'm still getting a feel for his personality, and while he is a bit introverted (part of the reason for the mask) he's not anti-social. Just need to develop his voice a bit more.
