The Final Battle
● 4 PCs - Karzoug, 2 Warden of Thunder, 1 Warden of Runes, 1 Old Blue Dragon
● 5 PCs - Karzoug, 2 Warden of Thunder, 1 Warden of Runes, 1 Old Blue Dragon, 1 Huge Gold Golems
● 6 PCs - Karzoug, 2 Warden of Thunder, 1 Warden of Runes, 1 Old Blue Dragon, 2 Huge Gold Golems
Karzoug Note: If feels natural to make Karzoug a Mythical Arcanist, although that skyrockets his CR up to the stratosphere. It for sure gives him several more fun spell options, but at the same time it doesn’t feels like he gets into impossible levels of resistance. He already had a good access to level 9 spells so his ability to kill off entire groups stays “somewhat” the same. Choose Mythic Karzoug or Normal Karzoug stats after our liking.
Map Note: Double the size of the map, 1 square = 10 feet.
Artifact Note: A dominant weapon must be used to smash the soul lens. The soul lens has hardness 20 (this hardness cannot be bypassed) and 200 hit points (4PCs) 250 hit points (5PCs) 300 hit points (6 PCs) , but the dominant weapon gains the full benefits of its bane special abilities when damaging the soul lens. The soul lens takes no damage from other attacks.
Placement: Karzoug always begins in this throne with the Blue Dragon beside him. Wardens of Thunder should be placed opposite of each other on the elevated platforms (Y2). Gold Golems should always begin part-way up the staircases leading from the entry platform (Y1) to Karzoug’s throne (Y4). Wardens of Runes should always begin east of the Runewell (Y3) and west of Y4.
When the TPK happens – IF they rescued Ayruzi:
If you ever find yourself lost in the void, a place devoid of all existence, not even death can claim you. It's as if you are trapped in a state of eternal nothingness. There is no concept of time, no darkness, and no pain, yet a lingering feeling of loss permeates the air. Karzoug, the cause of your defeat, has left a bitter taste even in this non-existence.
After what feels like an eternity of emptiness, a faint glimmer of light catches your attention. From within the void, you hear the voice of the planetar Ayruzi calling out to you.
"Ah, there you are! I have found you, lost so far within this nothingness. Let's see if I can mend your shattered souls... I must try."
Slowly, you begin to open your eyes, finding yourself lying amidst the ashes of your defeat. Karzoug, unaware of your revival, is caught up in commanding the giants to prepare the gate back to Golatrion. His attention momentarily diverted from your lifeless bodies.
It is Ayruzi's whispered words in your ears that jolt you into action.
"Kill him!"

Countersong (Su):
A performance to counter magic effects that depend on sound. Makes a Perform skill check.

Distraction (Su):
A performance to counter magic effects that depend on sight. Makes a Perform skill check. Any creature within 30 feet of the bard that is affected by an illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment) magical attack may use the bard’s Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled.

Performance to cause one or more creatures to become fascinated with him. Each creature to be fascinated must be within 90 feet. The Distraction of a nearby combat or other dangers prevents the ability from working. He can target five creatures with this ability. If its saving throw fails, the creature sits quietly and observes the performance for as long as the bard continues to maintain it. While fascinated, a target takes a –4 penalty on skill checks made as reactions, such as Perception checks. Any potential threat to the target allows the target to make a new saving throw against the effect. Any obvious threat, such as someone drawing a weapon, casting a spell, or aiming a weapon at the target, automatically breaks the effect.
Frightening tune [DC 23]
Frightening Tune (Sp): A performance to cause fear in his enemies. To be affected, an enemy must be able to hear the bard perform and be within 30 feet.

A performance to inspire courage in himself and his allies. An affected ally receives a +3 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +3 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls.
Inspire greatness (Su):
A performance to inspire greatness in himself or a single willing ally within 30 feet, granting extra fighting capability. Three targets gains 2 bonus Hit Dice (d10s), a +2 competence bonus on attack rolls, and a +1 competence bonus on Fortitude saves.
Inspire heroics (Su):

Soothing performance (Su):
A to create an effect equivalent to the mass cure serious wounds, using the bard’s level as the caster level. In addition, this performance removes the fatigued, sickened, and shaken condition from all those affected. Using this ability requires 4 rounds of continuous performance.
Suggestion [DC 23] (Sp):
A performance to make a suggestion (as per the spell) to a single creature that he has already fascinated (see above). Using this ability does not disrupt the fascinate effect, but it does require a standard action to activate (in addition to the free action to continue the fascinate effect). A bard can use this ability more than once against an individual creature during an individual performance.

Note: Ayrizi The Ever-Watcher is a Planetar of Sarenrae. She tries to fight the binding spell that holds her by sending whispers to faithful ch
aracters guiding them to this place. She will act as a Divine Intervention in the final fight if needed.
Ayruzi released:
“I am finally released from my bounds. Greetings, dear mortals. Although the task before you is almost impossible, I am here to offer my assistance. Karzoug the Claimer has hidden himself in the eternal voids, a place even the gods cannot locate. I can sense his foul influence here, indicating that his emergence is imminent. However, we must strike him down before he regains access to Golarion. Unfortunately, it is impossible for me to reach him directly. But you, bound by a destiny beyond this world, may hold the key we need. Allow me to mark your souls, so that if you find yourselves in the eternal voids, I might be able to locate you. Together, we can vanquish this threat and safeguard our world.”
The angel gently places her fingers upon your forehead, and a comforting warmth spreads from her touch. You feel a soothing glow encompassing you, filling you with a sense of divine protection.

The document format I’m using when running the games is this forum thread. The option to hide and unhide the stats work better than keeping them in a word of pdf document. So sorry I don’t have a nice and clean word summary.
My players have just reached the Pinnacle of Avarice, so I think I need to put my notes into the forum now, even if it feels like I could have gone through them one more time.
Its still a revision from Askars notes, but I have adjusted it to fit my miniature collection. I also tried to vary the fights a little bit.
The fights and opposition get more complex but seeing how my players have plowed through the fight the recent fight I felt I needed to turn up the opposition slightly. When all the fight in the area gets nastier the risk is that it starts to act more like a painful grind, so let’s see how this plays out. Some of these encounters should be able to be negotiated through…
A permanent dispel magic zone/wall on the arrival area in the Eye of Avarice?
That is SO fun and makes ABSOLUTE sense. =)
Karzoug is super smart and he knows that the entire group are armed with Dominant Transmutation Rune weapons. He knows that the entire group are immune to 3 transmutation spells each day, so why even prepare those spells?
OK definitely implementing the big dispel zone idea.
My players are still messing about in Xin-Shalast… but will push forward rather soon.
I have almost finished my notes for Chapter 6 Part 5 Scaling Mhar Massif, Chapter 6 Part 6 Pinnacle of Avarice and Book 6 Part 7 Eye of Avarice.
So, I plan to do my next update in this thread rather soon.
Got somewhat mentally stuck in how to deal with the final encounter… it feels like a delicate balance that can easily fall in either too easy or uninspiring to utterly impossible.
At the same time… the group BUTCHERED Ghlorofaex in two turns… it was brutal.
I used the new years vacation to finish the slides for Shattered Star.
They are great fun to do but a bit time consuming, but I hope some of you get use of them. It was only in the last chapter I started to generate AI pictures to match room descriptions, but they turned out pretty nice, so definitely something I will do onward. I did some painting to make pictures of Kaer Maga in chapter 3, but the AI turned out way better.
The next path to do presentations for should be Return of the Runelords to complete the trilogy, but I don’t have the PDF:s for that part so not sure when they will be done. It might be that Curse of the Crimson Throne sneak in before.
Glad that you like the slides! They help my game sessions quite a bit, I think.
I was planning to do the rest of the chapters… and chapter 2 and 3 is more or less done actually.
I got a little stuck with the plotline and wasn’t sure how I wanted to run the Adventure Path. With six players I need to redesign a LOT of the encounters, and I also wanted to get more plot into the story.
Slides for Chapter 4-6 is less than half done.
I think I will push through the rest of the chapters and do the slides as the adventure present it.. and then start redesigning the encounters. Theres a lot of small encounters with a diverse monster mix that makes little sense to me. The campaign should need fewer but harder fights with a little more consistency and several new places to explore (taken from Pathfinder Society season 4).
Unfortunately this adventure path will require a lot of work got get it where I would want it, so this effort is balanced against other possible adventure pats (CoCT is a big candidate).. but at the same time I really like the idea of running a full Runelords trilogy.
So the rest of the chapter presentation is rather likely to be done, but In not sure when. Chapter 2 and 3 I could get out rather soon though.
You could argue that some NPC:s needs to be added to Xin Shallast if you’re playing with a bigger group in order to get enough Sihedron Rings for the full party.
It also provides the great benefit that it adds more character (haha) to the areas in the city that are only briefly described. I hope I can make of the PC:s start engaging with the Skulks and try arranging a giant uprising in the town, plans that will for better or worse lead to Gyukak. To have additional named Giant of Lamia NPC:s opens up more characters to engage with. I also really like the prospect of playing around with the Root of the Tangle and perhaps tempt the PC:s to try to make deals with the world devouring creeper moss.
@Askar. OK feels rather silly that I missed the PDF named Hight Priest Diosenia when I was looking for Father Diosenia… Oopsie. Too bad you can’t edit older forum posts… but at the same time I still sort of like a named Hungerer though =).
My group just started the last chapter, and I pasted the Xin Shalast notes into the chat a in a little state of panic the day before the gaming session. I wanted to have it easily available in the chat if the group managed to reach the city.
I tried to make the different Lamia characters a little easier to manage by making them more uniform and were also struggling to match some stats on your sheet… and when I couldn’t locate any stats for Father Diosenia I just grabbed another Lamia-Kin of a reasonable level. Since all Lamias for far were women and I wasn’t sure what a male Lamia would look like the Hungerer were pasted into the list.
Then I realized I sort of liked the idea of a high priest of the Temple of Divine Consumption being just an obese maw of greedy hunger. It would also be fitting that when Most High Ceoptra left the temple to serve in Pinnacle of Avarice she didn’t want to let any of her scheming sisters to be in control but left the lesser male in charge.

Sihedron Ring Note :
Regarding Sihedron rings: Because Sihedron rings have virtually no function but protecting you from the occlusion field in a ABP game, modify their effect description to the text below:
“A Sihedron ring protects the wearer with a constant life bubble effect. At will, as a standard action, the wearer can use the Sihedron ring to change the appearance of their clothing or armor into any other kind of clothing or armor. The actual clothing and armor worn retain all their properties (including weight) when glamered. Only true seeing or similar magic reveals the true nature of the adornments.”

Yerra Description:
Yerra is a priestess of Divine Consumption and reports directly to Most High Ceopetra. Despite her high ranking, she’s drawn Ceopetra’s disfavor and been put in amongst soldiers with no true loyalty to the Most High or Karzoug as a buffer. She knows this and resents her station at Krak Naratha, viewing her station at the ruined fortress as 'time out.' While she would honorably die to defend Xin-Shalast, the soldiers will not report to her before making a decision about whether to let the PCs into town to avoid her displeasure. They are not charmed however, and may, under the right conditions, steer the PCs to assassinate Yerra. Despite her frustrations with the Most High, she will not entertain ideas of supporting the PCs.

Special Abilities
--------------------
Create Yellow Musk Zombie (Ex)As a full-round action, the Root of the Tangle can bore dozens of tendrils into the brain of a helpless creature within reach, such as a creature entranced by its pollen. This attack inflicts 1d6 points of Intelligence damage per round. When a creature is reduced to 0 Intelligence, it dies, and the tendrils break off inside its brain. One hour later, the creature animates as a yellow musk zombie.
Lush Vitality (Ex)The Root of the Tangle receives maximum hit points for each of its racial hit dice.
Pollen Burst (1/1d6 rounds, DC 26) (Ex)The Root of the Tangle may spray yellow musk pollen in a 60 foot cone once every 1d6 rounds. This functions as its usual Pollen Spray ability, but targets every creature in the area of effect. Furthermore, it can use its Create Yellow Musk Zombie ability on any creature within its reach. This is a poison effect. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Pollen Spray (DC 26) (Ex)As a standard action, the Root of the Tangle can spray a cloud of pollen at a single creature within 30 feet. It must make a +10 ranged touch attack to strike the target, who must then succeed on a DC 26 Will save or be entranced for 1d6 rounds. An entranced creature can take no action other than to move at its normal speed into a space within the yellow musk creeper’s reach, at which point an entranced creature remains motionless and allows the creeper to insert tendrils into its brain. This is a poison effect. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Whiplash (Ex)When the Root of the Tangle strikes an opponent with one of its tendrils, it may choose to perform an Awesome Blow combat maneuver as a free action.</div></div></p> </div>

Treasure changed to:
○ 500gp in coinage per PC
○ Chest of copper bars worth 500gp
○ Fine bear cloak work 2,000gp
Original Plot:
The PCs is asked by Sheila Heidmarch to track down a missing agent named Natalya Vancaskerkin
in the slums of Magnimar. After locating her the PCs eventually secure the Shard of Pride. The PCs use the shard and learn the next fragment is hidden within the Irespan itself ! In an ancient chamber below the bridge the PCs finally discover the second fragment of the Shattered Star, the Shard of Greed, and from it learn the location of the next piece.
Thought:
Nice start with some nice RP possibilities. The Derros in the end could be replaced by Lissala cultists so they actually start with one shard of their own.
Curse of the Lady’s Light (Lvl 5-7)
Original Plot:
The PCs use the Shard of Greed to locate the Shard of Lust in the Lady's Light, the towering statue at the southwestern most point of mainland Varisia. Dealing with the local Boggard of Troglodyte tribes leads the way into the statues dungeon. In the dungeon the PCs encounter a regiment of Gray Maidens looking for treasure in the tower. They finally encounter the alu- demon Ashamintallu who believes herself to be Sorshen reborn.
Thoughts:
The web supplement adds some characters and is rather nice. The Lissala cultist expedition could be hiding in the swamp and tracking the PCs through the dungeon. If the PCs defeat the alu-demon they might realize that the shard have been stolen during the fight.
The Asylum Stone (Lvl 8-10)
Original Plot:
PCs travel to Kaer Maga searching for information from troll oracles known as the Augurs. The Augurs demand that the PCs rescue a troll seer who's been kidnapped by an artificer. The PCs make their way through a cliffside manor filled with deadly constructs and rescue the troll oracle. The troll points them to the library known as the Therassic Spire. The resident librarians are themselves are looking for the shard and have made a deal with a race of monstrous scholars who live below the city, the caulborn. The PCs reach a magical research facility once used by the Runelord Karzoug. The PCs go through a magical portal into the extraplanar realm called the Dark Forest, where Karzoug hid the Shard of Gluttony. There, the PCs travels to the castle in the realm's center, ruled by a headless horseman of Varisian legend called the Dark Rider.
Thought:
There is a Lissala cult in Kaer Maga from PFS4-10 Feast of Sigils and shrine nearby PFS4-12 The Refuge of Time have more information. There is also some separate adventure modules taking place in Kaer Maga (Seven Swords of Sin and The Godsmouth heresy comes in mind). This is a fun place to explore. The Librarians of SS could be Lissala cultists.
Beyond the Doomsday door (Lvl 10-12)
Original Plot:
After learning about the current location of the Shard of Envy, the PCs travel to Windsong Abbey. There, they find the abbey and its village in ruins, overwhelmed by evil fey and giants. They rescue a priests named Casamir, who explains that the attack was led by an ex-member of the abbey, the elf Ardathanatus. The PCs delve into the deadly temple of Groetus under the abbey. Ardathanatus have populated these dungeons with minions, traps and the undead remnants of the Thassilonian cult of Groetus in order to open the Doomsday Door. To win the Shard of Envy and reclaim Windsong Abbey, the PCs must defeat this traitorous cleric!
Thoughts:
The abbey area should for sure have more survivors. The surrounding village could still be inhabited if the giants went straight for the abbey.
Into the Nightmare Rift (Lvl 13-15)
Original Plot:
The next vision sends the PCs back to the Storval Plateau, to Guiltspur, a giantheld stronghold. The Shard of Wrath is now the property of the current leader of the giant tribes, a lumbering thug named Jubbek. Once the PCs secure the Shard of Wrath, the final vision reveals that the route to the Shard of Sloth is very close nearby-somewhere within Guiltspur itself. The PCs journey into the lava entombed chambers of Guiltspur, and then into caverns below where they encounter a band of drow from House Rasivrein who also seek the Shard of Sloth. Delving deeper, the PCs enter the underground laboratories once used by the lich Mesmalatu. Beyond her lies a portal to Leng, and a temple to the Crawling Chaos Nyarlathotep. Finally, in the howling storms on the very edge of the Plateau of Leng, the PCs face the blue dragon Cadrilkasta holding the last chard.
Thoughts:
Replace the Drow with Lissala cultists? The cult might already be in Leng conspiring with the dragon.
The Dead heart of Xin (Lvl 15 – 17)
Original Plot:
With the seven shards of the Shattered Star reclaimed, the PCs return to Magnimar. The Sihedron is rebuilt during a grand festival atop the Irespan, but as the artifact is recreated, the ancient contingencies under the sea in the ruined island-city of Xin activate. Xin rises from the sea floor, wracking the Lost Coast with an earthquake and sending a tsunami out to strike southwestern Varisia. After handling this sudden threat and several of the strange monsters the event has apparently awakened from the slumber of ages, the PCs explore the newly arisen island, discovering remnants of Xin's capital city and the regenerating black spire that is his sentient Crystal Palace. There, the PCs confirm the threat of a centuries old army of constructs is preparing to march, and that the mad phantom of Old King Xin is bent on destroying all interlopers as it constructs a new clockwork body to house its shattered soul. Reborn in a corporeal form bent on retaking his lost empire and conquering Varisia, the rebuilt King Xin joins with the clockwork reliquary to take command of his army and finally confront those who would oppose him!
Thoughts:
The cult of Lissala could be used if the characters realize that combining the chards might be a bad idea. Instead of the festival there would be a chase through the Irespan to find the cultist location to stop the ritual.
PFS4-00 Race for the Runecarved Key
Original Plot:
Canayven and Sheila Heidmarch have secretly summoned the PCs to help the new lodge compete in an auction for a mysterious Thassilonian relic known as the Runecarved Key. The PCs interact with the different bidders to ensure the right winner. The cult of Lissala steals the Key and the PC get into the chase.
Thought:
I really like the auction interaction. The Lissala cultist that steals the key could be Vandiana, and the adventure might end with the success for the cult so they end up with the position of the key. The key itself might be connected to the Shards of Sin.
It might be that Alaznist (Runelord of Wrath) created the key as a tool to forge the shards together and gathered two shards to Irespan in preparation to do the ritual herself. The key could be used to locate the shard locations (some location spell hidden in the runes on its surface) so if the cult of Lissala have the key at the end of the adventure it could be the tool they use to locate the shards.
I also have an idea that the key is used to forge the chards together. The key is pressed to a flat rock surface and unleash enough power to make a star shaped recess. This is the shape where the chards are implemented and forged together.
PFS4-02 In Wrath’s Shadow (Lvl 3-7)
Original Plot:
The Magnimar Venture-Captain Sheila Heidmarch charges the PCs with exploring an ancient temple (believed to honor the Thassilonian goddess Lissala) newly uncovered on Rivenrake Island.
Thoughts:
Little use of this dungeon as I see it. No major interactions.
PFS4-08 The Cultists Kiss (Lvl 7-11)
Original Plot:
The Cultist's Kiss takes place in the Varisian town of Palin's Cove, a holding of nearby Korvosa. The PCs are sent to Palin's Cove and instructed to find and study the cult of Lissala there.
Thoughts:
Nice RPG investigation with a nice little location. Could be that the PCs look for clues where the cult took the key.
PFS4-10 Feast of Sigils (Lvl 7-11)
Original Plot:
The party starts the adventure by meeting up with Miss Feathers, who contacted the Pathfinder Society with information about the church of Lissala's activities in Kaer Maga. The sigil wafers Kesoulla and Drollis created are instrumental in charging the runestones needed to recover the refuge spell. components.
Thoughts:
Addon to Asylum Stone.
PFS4-12 The Refuge of Time (Lvl 7-11)
Original Plot:
Travel to ancient Lissalan shrine in the Wyvern Mountains west of Kaer Maga. "Find the shrine and recover the refuge tokens.”
Thoughts:
Addon to Asylum Stone.
PFS4-20 Words of the Ancients (Lvl 7-11)
Original Plot:
Travel to Desgard's Thousand Columns to find the Thousandth Spire and recover the Rune plates.
The discs are guarded by Zonaladin , a bored copper dragon (CR 14)
Thoughts: Real cute dragon interaction.
PFS4-26 The Waking Rune (Lvl 7-11)
Original Plot:
Use Refuge Tokens to teleport to Krune's sanctum. Defeat the Rune Lord.
Thought:
A rather small dungeon for a Rune Lord fight.

SS5 Into the Nightmare Rift
Travel to Leng. The portal is guarded by Jordimandus that explaines that their use of the PCs have come to an end. Cadrilkasta have the last shard and the power to complete the star. Krune will be awake and armed with a completed star!
PFS4-26 The Waking Rune
Use the tokens to get to Krunes vault only to find that Vandiana, the Lashmistress have already resurrected Krune.
SS6 The Dead heart of Xin
Krune have taken the shards from Sheila Heidmarch and completes the star at the top of Irespan. The PCs tries to stop him but is to late. The completed star hurts Krune that realize to late that the Star won’t restore his power but accidentally resurrects Xin!
I originally planned to run all the three Runelords adventure paths as a trilogy, and even though I like a lot of the things Shattered Star does it surely feels lacking in plot and roleplay possibilities. Even if you try to make social encounters of the different opponents in these dungeons you will end up in a fight anyway since they will not simply give away the shards or surrender and go away even if you’re really nice.
I have seen several comment of GM:s combining Shattered Star (SS) with Pathfinder Society season 4 (PFS4) , the Year of the Risen Rune but I haven’t been able to find good walkthrough to implement this.
Does anyone have good notes on expanding SS with PFS4? I start by getting some thoughts in print here below. I haven’t a finished all the plot points yet so this is some thoughts of the different chapters and what might be done.
The benefits of implementing PFS4 into SS is that PFS4 have some new locations to travel to, some more characters to interact with, a cult that might act as an opposition and give a sense of urgency and finally the possibility to include the death of The Runelord of Sloth. To run the full saga as a trilogy it felt weird of letting one of the Runelords get defeated out of camera. The adventure path have already a LOT of dungeon encounters, so the aim is not to add to many additional encounters but perhaps get rid of some fights in order to make space for additional locations to visit and explore.
To have the cult of Lissala search for the Shard of Sins would increase the stakes of SS, but to get the feeling of competition the cult of Lissala should seem to be a step ahead and possibly get control or to be close of getting some of the shards themselves. If this would be the case, there must be some way to guide the PCs to the next chapter without the vision granted by the shards.
I also don’t like the idea that each shard simply points to the next one, it feels a bit lazy. It would be more fun if the PCs would have to investigate where the next chard could be by examining clues from the cult.
Characters that could be recurring villains of the story could be:
• Vandiana, a priestess of Lissala also known as the Lashmistress (from PFS4-26 The Waking Rune). She could be integrated into the story from the start and be the clock that the PCs race against.
• Jordimandus, the obese wizard of Sloth from the Runeforge in Rise of the Runelords. In my campaign he survived and would be a great villain in this chapter.
• Runelord Krune, a possibility is actually to let the cult of Lissala succeed and the Krune be the threat in the later chapters.
My group is finally reaching the last chapter, so its time to paste some more notes. Still building on Askar notes with some adjustments to fit my miniature collection.

B5 Ore Separation (CR 11)
Haunt: Gold-Eating Dwarf:
Haunt: Gold-Eating Dwarf: XP 12800
LN haunt (all of area B5)
Caster Level 11th
Notice Perception DC 25 (to notice the shadowy image of Silas crouching in the corner)
hp 22; Trigger proximity; Reset 1 minute
Effect Silas’s words function as a mass suggestion spell; anyone who hears him must succeed at a DC 20 Will save to resist the compulsion to scoop up and eat a handful of the arsenic-tainted dirt on the room’s floor. The haunt enhances the already deadly effects of the arsenic in this case—anyone who eats the stuff must make a DC 25 Fortitude save against the effects of arsenic poisoning. Silas watches as anyone eats, and as the victim feels the poison flowing through his system, the haunted character sees Silas suddenly shrink in on himself, grow emaciated, and then fly apart in a red explosion of bite-sized morsels of flesh and bone. An instant later, he is gone—but only for a minute, after which he appears again. Anyone who fails the initial Will save is also exposed to wendigo psychosis (DC 26 Will save).

B6 Ore Shaft (CR 9)
The Haunted Chain creature is replaced with the following haunt.
Haunt: The Weight of Greed:
XP 6400
CE belligerent haunt (upper half of B6)
Caster Level 9th
Notice Perception 20 (to hear the subtle movement of chains)
hp 54; Trigger proximity; Reset 1 minute
Effect As soon as the tipping stairs are triggered (or just before the PCs are about to exit the room), the spirits haunting the cabin manifest by animating the chain hanging from the ceiling here. The chain twists like an immense snake as it animates, coiling over and across itself. Every turn, it attempts a grapple check with a CMB of +20. If it succeeds, it wraps around its target’s body and neck, and makes a drag check with a CMB of +20, pulling them towards or into the shaft itself.
On its turn, a grappled creature must make a DC 25 Fortitude saving throw or be choked by the chains, and rendered unable to speak or use verbal spell components. At the start of any subsequent turns, if a creature is choked, they must make an additional DC 25 Fortitude saving throw or fall unconscious at 0 hit points. An unconscious creature grappled by the chain must make a DC 25 Fortitude saving throw at the start of its turn or fall to -1 hit points and be dying. A dying creature grappled by the chain must make a DC 25 Fortitude saving throw at the start of its turn or die.
Furthermore, if the chain successfully pulls a creature off of a surface and suspends it in the air, it draws them up to the top of the shaft (at a rate of 20 feet per round) and drops any creatures at 0 or fewer hit points down the shaft (which inflicts 5d6 points of fall damage).
This haunt is unusual, and can be damaged by physical means as well as positive energy. The chain has an AC of 20, hardness 10, and 54 hit points. Its CMD is 32 for the purposes of escaping from a grapple. Destroying the haunt causes any creature suspended by the chain to drop.

B8 Front Porch (CR 10)

LN spiteful haunt (northern 15 feet of area B8)
Caster Level 11th
Notice Perception DC 25 (to notice the distant humanoid shape turn to face the party)
hp 20; Trigger proximity; Reset 1 day
Effect A dwarven man (recognizable as the same one from the haunt in area B5) staggers out of the snow. His eyes are wild with fear, his clothes in tatters, and blood drips from several cuts on his exposed flesh. When he sees the PCs, he cries out, “Run! Run for your lives!” With that, the dwarf flees into the snow. All PCs in the area must make a successful DC 22 Will save to avoid being overcome with the conviction that the other members of the party are hungry monsters and are about to attack them—those who fail this save are affected with an effect similar to song of discord, with a 50% chance to attack their allies, and a 50% chance to simply flee at full speed from their allies each turn. Characters who race blindly into the snow have a flat 50% chance each round of running off the edge of the cliff, in which case they fall 60 feet to the ground below.

unnatural hunger)
hp 20; Trigger proximity; Reset 1 day
Effect When the hunger pangs strike, all characters in the room must make DC 20 Fortitude saves to resist taking 10d6 points of nonlethal starvation damage from the sudden phantom hunger. Accompanying this ravenous sensation is the conviction that only the flesh of the other PCs can sate the hunger. Any character who took starvation damage must then make a DC 26 Will save to resist taking 1d8 points of Wisdom drain and exposing themself to wendigo psychosis as the cannibal urgings overwhelm the PC and drive them to the brink of madness.

Haunt: The Hungry Dead:

CE haunt (all of area B15)
Caster level 15th

hp 30; Trigger touch; Reset 1 minute
Effect To observers, the haunted character suddenly begins thrashing wildly, as if dozens of invisible hands were tugging and pushing him about the room. At the same time, bloody wounds from invisible teeth appear across the victim’s body. The haunted character perceives that he has suddenly been surrounded by a dozen emaciated but fantastically strong dwarves, all of whom are attempting to eat him alive. The ghosts make 10 attack rolls against the PC at a +20 bonus; each hit deals 2d6+7 points of damage and threatens a critical hit on a roll of 19–20. A character reduced to –10 hit points by these bites is torn apart so that nothing remains but a red, well-gnawed skeleton draped in his gear.
Event 1: Cannibal Fury (CR 17)
Haunt: Cannibal Fury:
XP: 102400
CE belligerent haunt (Vekker Cabin and environs to a radius of 30 feet from cabin’s outer walls)
Caster Level 17th
Notice Perception DC 25 (to hear the sound of knocking
somewhere in the cabin)
hp 102; Trigger timed; Reset 1 week
Effect This persistent haunt adheres to the following round-by-round schedule. Note that until the haunt begins to act in force on the fifth round, it cannot be dismissed or damaged. These first four rounds are, in effect, an extended warning of what’s about to occur.
Rounds 1-3: Allow the PCs to each make a DC 25 Perception check. Anyone who succeeds hears a faint knocking coming from the lower portion of the cabin, probably the outer door at area B3, as if some lost traveler were seeking shelter from the storm. PCs in the lower rooms of the cabin or the stair shaft need only succeed at a DC 10 Perception check to hear this knocking. The knocking continues for 3 rounds, during which time PCs might head down to see whom it might be. Attempts to see the ground outside the cabin are fruitless due to the whirling snow flurries, unless the PCs are within 5 feet, and then they still see nothing present that could have caused the knocking.
Round 4: The strange knocking grows silent for 1 round.
Round 5: A loud crack followed by a mighty hammering sound suddenly fills the cabin as its walls begin to shake and groan, almost as if the structure were giving up its purchase on the cliff edge and sliding off. On each turn that a PC remains in the haunt’s area, they must make a DC 15 Acrobatics check; failure indicates they cannot move for that round, while failure by 5 or more indicates they fall prone. A character in area B6 at this time falls off the stairs if they fall prone.
Round 6: The hammering continues, but now the faint images of starving dwarven ghosts can be glimpsed out of the corner of the eye. Each character suddenly experiences painful hunger pangs and must succeed at a DC 20 Fortitude save to resist taking 4d6 points of nonlethal damage and 1d4 points of Constitution damage from the horrific hunger. Each character who fails this save must also make a DC 26 Will save or develop wendigo psychosis.
Round 7: Voices can now be heard, in most cases wordless cries of pain, but now and then snatches of sentences like “eating us…” or “don’t let him…” or “so hungry….” The hammering continues, but now the starving ghosts seem to notice the PCs for the first time. Each PC must make a DC 18 Will save— failure indicates that the haunt possesses them as the ghosts themselves seem to flow into the PC’s body. Possession inflicts 1d6 points of Wisdom drain, and has additional implications in rounds 8–10.
Round 8–10: For the last 3 rounds of this complex haunt, the shaking and hammering continues. Characters possessed by the haunt do not need to make Acrobatics checks to move and take whatever actions they can to render non-possessed characters unconscious or helpless, using whatever tools they have at their disposal. If a possessed character is adjacent to a helpless, non-possessed character and is not threatened by any other non-possessed character, they attempt a coup de grace action against the helpless character with the best weapon option they have. If a possessed character is adjacent to a dead character, they feed on the body and take no other actions unless they are attacked by someone else.
Round 11: With a sudden lurch, the haunting stops. Possessed characters immediately regain control of their faculties. Any character who successfully fed on an ally must make a DC 20 Will save upon realizing what they’ve done—failure results in an additional 2d4 points of Wisdom drain from the supernaturally fueled revelation. At your option, characters subjected to extreme Wisdom drain from this haunt could develop various insanities (see page 250 of the GameMastery Guide). The cabin itself shows no signs of damage from the violence aside from anything the PCs themselves have done to it.

Magic: Evocation. Sin mages who follow the path of Wrath focus on complete mastery of the raw destructive power of magic, and delight in channelling those destructive forces in awesome displays. Opposing abjuration (Envy), conjuration (Sloth).
Description: Island broken up into three factions in constant war. The entire area is made up of trenches and barricades of the different factions. The population have turned into mutilated berserkers.
During the millennia of isolation, the mages were slowly consumed by Rage, and eventually forgot how to do magic. Minor issues between individuals slowly turned into different fractions conducting full scale ware between each other.
The entire area is dominated by trenches and barricades splitting the sphere up in different battlefields. During the years different fractions have controlled the separate battlefields, but no side have managed to take the upper hand to end the conflict. The bloody effect of the eternal was can bee seen everywhere with spike traps and heaps of fallen soldiers and weapons. Each fraction has a tent base area surrounded by spiked walls; the rest of the sphere is a burned battlefield.
The years of battle have turned the mages into mutilated barbarians. Sin spawn axemen can be summoned and recreated, but none of the barbarians are intact. Most of them miss at least one limb and have gruesome battle scars.
Athroxis castle lies on the upper ground overseeing the battlefields. Her castle if the reward for the most brave and brutal fighters who might be accepted into her service. This is more or less a religion of all the berserkers in the area, and the saying is that when a fighter dies, they go into the eternal wars inside the castle.
Npc: Aviram Makkerzan. One armed, and one-eyed fighter. Leader of the Bloody Axe faction. If the PC kills the other faction leader, she will let them to the path to the Halls of Wrath. The two other faction leaders are Eikonas Dagatag (of the faction Kill Stealers) and Agrolys Posipon (of the faction Hit them hard).
Sin Demon: Vrock – Xolvoneth Bloodrager, arms dealer and warmonger. He runs the spiky forge tower and have connection to all the different factions, giving them military advise and supply them with new spiky weapons.
Interesting spots:
• War tents: All the three factions have a tent area where they prepare for the next battle and gear up. The central tent I the war rent where they make up all the battleplans. Each area is surrounded by spiky palisades. Each area a medical tent where they take care of all the wounded and attach weapon parts to lost limbs.
• No mans land: A series of battlefield interconnected by trenches. It’s a complete maze with trenches supplied with traps and piles bodies and worn-out broken weapons.
• Arena of honour: One of the central battlefields are an arena surrounded with seats for an audience. This is where formal challenges between fighters in the factions take place. For big fight members of all faction might attend.
• The rage labyrinth: For those fighters who are so utterly consumed by rage so the cant function anymore is let down in a separate trench system. Here the utterly mad hunt each other down like wild animals.
• The forest of thorns: A spiky forest in the outer rim of the island is the supply of all the palisades. Some spiky and unpleasant demons hunt the area.
• The forge tower: Inside the forest is a spiky tower with the forge. The Vrock have a couple of demon minions endlessly forging new weapons.
• Halls of Wrath: A path through the forest least up to the hill where the castle containing the halls rest.
Magic: Conjuration. Sin mages who follow the path of Sloth enlist agents and minions to perform their tasks or create what is needed as it is needed. Opposing evocation (Wrath), illusion (Pride).
Description: Island of unfinished and half-built temples. The trees around the temple area are dead and the entire region seems to be coated in a thin layer of slime. The central square has caved into a pool of sludge.
The sphere of Sloth was always reliant of slaves and unseen servants. Then Runeforge became isolated the mages became aphetic, and after a while they forgot who were mages and who were slaves. All the labor were done by an army of unseen servants.
When the characters enter the sphere, they apparently empty half-finished buildings, but with food and drinks being carries around by unseen hands.
After a couple millennia of apathy, the population have turned into oozes. The residents are still in their homes, but they have turned into slimy creatures, and some of them are caught in a middle state of half-ooze half-human form. The unseen servant produces food and drinks and pour them into the ooze population.
Main Npc: Igoria Vedemino– Half ooze drunk mayor who just want to be left alone. Go bother someone else! She might have some memories of how Jordimandus used his flying chair to enter the central pit.
Sin demon: Dretch Demon – Arzon Sloughsleeper. Work in the kitchen and summon all the unseen servants.
Interesting spots:
• Half built village: The area has fallen into decay. Some efforts of repairs have been started almost everywhere but never been finished. The pungent smell is almost too much.
• The sludge pit: The center square has caved in and is a slime covered cone downwards to a central dark opening. It looks like some of the buildings are on its way falling into the pit, but it’s a slow process. Most buildings have a system of pluming leading waste into the central pit.
• Smoking den: This building has a bunch of ex-people stuck into the different rooms. Water pipes have been pressed into the different oozes and filling the entire building with a sickening sweet-smelling smoke.
• The unseen servant kitchen: A robust building where a bunch of chimneys produce smoke. The kitchen is an intricate system of machines, coking stoves and preparation areas.
• The pile of trash: Behind the kitchen workshop there’s a literal mountain of trash building up way higher than any building in the sphere. This is where the unseen servants dump the leftovers and trash.
• The Festering Maze of Sloth: The hole in the middle of the sludge pit leads down to the Festering Maze.
Magic: Illusion - Sin mages who follow the path of Pride seek to perfect their own appearance and domain through trickery and illusions. Opposing conjuration (Sloth), transmutation (Greed).
Description: Island of monuments and theatres. All buildings have been turned into stages where actors try to capture audiences.
This was once a beautiful area of schools, temples, gardens, and statues. When the Runeforge became isolated and the residents became bored, they turned into acting and music. When pride started to escalate the acting troops got problem when everyone wanted to get centre stage. Eventually everyone went into individual shows, but no one were left to be audience.
This is a sphere where everyone turned into actors, and no one is left to watch or do any actual work. (Note - feels like were heading that way… soon everyone will be content creators!)
Some of the stages have summoned imps as crowd, for those who can’t do magic have sometimes created crude dummies to watch them.
When the characters enter the area, the rumour will start running like wildfire… and some actors will go into extremes to get people to actually watch them. And if they don’t get the worship their ego says they deserve they might react in hostile ways. And to sit through one play or concert wont certainly not be enough.
Main Npc: Emmander Mannisant– Bard who just need an audience for his Mimic orchestra (sentient drums and tubas) where he takes centre stage as conductor. He has an idea of trying to organize the different actors in setting up a schedule where people take turns watching shows… and to organize theatre group where the take turn taking the lead. So far, he hasn’t been successful setting this controversial idea into motion.. but the characters might have better success.
Sin Demon: Marlith – Uininnith Soulspoiler. Acts as a critic, undermines each actor’s performance and manipulate them to try even harder.
Interesting spots:
• Main square theatre scenes: The buildings around the centre square have all been refurbished into open stages. The competition here is pretty fierce and desperate where the different actor try to outshine each other.
• Treetop theatre: Emmanders stage is built on top of a large tree with a nice view over the area
• Alley of statues: This is a packed row of large and larger statues of famous actors and musicians… which means each and every citizen within the sphere. A group of stone golems are constantly creating the next statue with a long list of orders and request. The statue area has turned pretty crowded in 10000 years.
• The Mimic choir: A lot at sentient instruments have been created during the decades and all of them doesn’t make the cut to pe part of the prideful shows. The leftover instruments and created their own area where they fulfil their function (making noise) unguarded.
• The Shimmering Veils of Pride: A pyramid built beside the main town.
Magic: Enchantment. Sin mages who follow the path of Lust gain great personal satisfaction at manipulating others’ minds, emotions, and wills. Opposing necromancy (Gluttony), transmutation (Greed).
Description: Island of lavish temples and brothels surrounded by a living forest.
Once this was a beautiful place with a temple and training area surrounded by a flowery garden. When the sin of Lust went rampart the mages went further into depraved activities and didn’t notice how the garden slowly grew into a thick forest of wines and thorns. The garden started to engulf the buildings and its citizens, fusing building and people to hungry and moving vines.
The entire area Have been overgrown with thorny vines, leaving a small central area with a few survivors. Most residents have been fused into the vines and into each other, creating a moaning and creaking forest. Sensual shadows and whispers float through the area.
The central area is a settlement of lust slaves tries to keep themselves alive and hiding from the consuming vines.
The vines are a bit tricky; they will open up for the characters when they enter through the portal and will gladly lead them to the village area, but the forest close up behind them. The forest has great respect for Delyahine and her daughters, so they have free range walking through the area.
Npc: Areli Shareth– Leader of the Lust slave trying to escape the lust filled forest. She has seen some paths that might lead to Delyahines temple, but want to make sure that the rest of her tribe is safe first
Sin Demon: Succubus – Fyserova Lustwhisper , plant new trees and tries to lure people out into the forest. Disguised as a dryad harassing the area with fog and sleep spells
Interesting spots:
• Main town square: Several building with makeshift barricades. The survivors try to patrol the border and cut down all vines that get to close. A central fire is constantly burning with the cut down plants.
• Tunnel system: The Lust slaves have dug a wast network of tunnels during the years, trying to reach a way out. Some of the tunnels have collapsed and some of them have been found by the vines and turned into living traps. Aeli won’t tell the characters about these tunnels until she’s sure the heroes can help them.
• Vine forest: The area moves around a lot and the trees doesn’t seems to stay put for long. They are all connected to a huge main tree made of interwoven people. The vines are most hostile around the central village, but at the edges they open up to several glades.
• Fyserovas garden: A small temple area made of flowers. A little waterfall falls into a pretty little pond. Her dryad disguise is accompanied with some quasit disguised like fairies. The illusion might break a little when the quasit tries to sing.
• The Iron Cages of Lust: A big tent up on a mountain top.
Magic: Transmutation, Sin mages who follow the path of Greed delight in transforming things into other things, as well as enhancing themselves. Opposing enchantment (Lust), illusion (Pride).
Description: An island of robust temples and official buildings.
When the transmutation magic went wild it first turned the building decoration int noble metal, but after that it slowly turned the villagers into metal statues as well. Some of them are somewhat sentient. Those who are living, and mobile are mostly part of the tax collector workforce who collect treasures from all the buildings in the area. Unfortunately Mimics of animated chests and sentient coins plague the area, so they consume the collected taxes that slowly evaporate and turn into dust. The dust rebuilds the treasures out in the villages to keep the eternal flow of the economy.
The tax office building is protected by a big wall guarded by gold statues. In front of the gate is a town square filled with beggars turned into statues. The moaning cries from the frustrated poor fills the area.
Behind the walls there’s a small mountain with a statue of Karzoungs face overlooking the area.
All the silver and gold the heroes collect within this sphere turn to dust as soon as it leaves the area.
Main Npc: Aretas Novastan– Master Tax collector. Wants to kill the mimics and keep all treasures eternal. Would like to steal Ordikons powers and learn the secret of turning living thinks into metal. He lives in the Tax office.
Sin Demon: Nalfeshnee – Saglamahr Goldspoiler. He’s the one that creates all the mimics and keeps the beggar’s sentient. He is sometimes disguised as tax clerk giving Aretas advice, but usually spend time in the Bank Temple on a mimic throne.
Interesting spots:
• Tax office: Big central building with a protective wall. All the tax collectors form up lines to do their deliveries and sort the treasures in the different vaults. A golem made of keys walk the corridors and control the vault doors.
• Town square of beggars: Desperate and hungry beggars filled the square in front of the tax office when all the gold went to taxes. They slowly turned into statues during the years.
• Bank temple: Big and abandoned. Some of the mimics started a colony here and guard the area fiercely. The big central chamber has turned in to a throne room with a big chair on a living pile of gold.
• Border wall: The wall was established to sort of citizens, guest and officials. It divides the entire sphere into many different areas, with slow half sentient guards trying to check the paperwork for everyone moving around.
• Cages with all the thieves: The worst criminals (that is thieves) were hung up in cages to starve outside the town walls. A lot of them turned into statues fused into the cages. A golem made of cages roam the area looking for additional thieves.
• The Vault of Greed: A small opening beneath the Karzoug statue leads into the Vault inside the statues head. A little Thistletop throwback.
Magic: Necromancy - Sin mages who follow the path of Gluttony seek to manipulate their bodies in their unending hunger for life. Opposing abjuration, enchantment.
Description: A floating island depicting a rural farming village.
When the sphere was created it was a working farming village with fields and animal stock, creating a feeling of normality for the visiting mages. They were producing food and eating even though the Runeforge made it unnecessary. The years in isolation have turned the area into a grotesque parody of a rural community. The fountain of the central square started to produce meat and since then all efforts to take care of the fields of the animals have long since stopped.
The Gluttony have turned the citizens into overweight Ghouls. The fields are overflowing with stagnant and overgrown crops. Even the farm animals have turned into overweight undead monstrosities.
Main Npc: Elyahu Zindenled– Fat Ghoul mayor. Want to devour new food. The PC might look tasty, but Elyahu will gladly help them if they can help him access new types of foodstuffs. He might not settle for just one lunch though… he wants ALL the food.
Sin Demon: Nabasu demon named Broghtazn Gluttonfeeder. He is the creator of the Fountain of Flesh and the one that keep up the process of overfeeding the gluttonous ghouls, even though they actually don’t need to eat in the Runeforge areas. He hides in the top of the windmill.
Interesting spots:
• Farming village: The buildings and lecture halls are mostly abandoned; the ghouls prefer the caves. The mayor still holds his office building to resemble some sort of order in the Mayors Manor. The mayor is too fat to leave the building but some of the ghoulish servants still keep him fed.
• Fountain of flesh: A magical fountain in the central square producing human flesh. The meat builds up in stinking piles and are devoured by the Ghouls. This plentiful access of food has caused the ghouls to be fat and depraved, and they have by the years lost their hunting instincts.
• The fields: They are overgrown with damp and whet weeds filled with fat flies.
• The animal pens: Obese and ghoul inflicted pigs that a bit too fat to be able to walk properly. The ghouls stopped hunting them long ago, but the animals are still stuck in the pens.
• Skull Cave: Sleeping cave for the obese ghouls
• Windmill: The windmill has not made flour in a while… one of the ghouls have started to grind the flesh from the fountain to some sort of sludge to speed up how fast he can eat… the place looks rather unsettling
• The Ravenous Crypts: The crypts are the basement of the ruined manor up in the hills.
Introduction
A lot of spoilers for chapter 5 here… ok you have been warned.
This might be a bunch of posts for the same subject, so I make a separate thread of this instead of putting it into the “Sins of the Saviours (GM Reference)” thread.
When I stated to run chapter 5 I had two major issues with the adventure.
• There’s a lack of NPC to talk and interact with
• The different areas that connected to Runeforge didn’t look especially functional. I knew this was supposed to be a mix of research centre and diplomatic middle ground between the Runelords domains. The different wings look a bit small with no place for staff or mages do their research.
This is my notes where I expand the areas in my game.
• Each wing from the central Runeforge connects so a sphere for each Runelord Domain. The Spheres can be described like a floating island with about 2000 feet in diameter levitating in cosmic nothingness. The connection to the Runeforge hub is a portal of stone on the side of the island. The islands are actually the inside of a sphere, that is that if you leave at the eastern side of the island, you enter the western side of the same island. What you observe as an island is the minds attempt to make sense of an impossible geometry. If you jump just up high enough, you flip and land on the same spot you started from and if you shoot an arrow straight up you will hit yourself in the head. Have fun harassing your players with messed up physics.
• Each area has slowly decayed and been consumed by the sins that each area represent. The feeling I was going for here is slightly inspired of Dante’s Inferno, how would the world look like if the Runelord and their sins run rampart for thousands of years.
• Each of the halls in the adventure is represented by a building or spot in theses Spheres. The heroes must just find their way through each Sphere and hopefully get the locals help to navigate to the right spot. Run the different halls as described when you reach them.
• The idea of each Sphere is that they should not include extra combat encounters. The Spheres got some NPC:s that might need some help or might cause some problems for the heroes. The lord of each area is in their respective wing, and they sort of lost interest of the Spheres around them.
• Each Sphere have a demon that overlooks the areas and tries to further enhance the sins dominating each Sphere. They are optional and can act as the villain of the different spheres if you want to play around with the sphere and help the NPC:s.
• All these areas follow the same pattern, so use them as you want. They can cause a lot of playtime if used fully, so some of them might be the scenery the characters walk through and some of them might be fully elaborated subplots.
I plan to do some maps of the different areas but can’t promise when they will be done.

(added a silent metamagic rod to Jordimandus for all those pesky Silence spells)

Jordimandus casts unseen servant, mage armor, greater darkvision and moment of prescience every day. Once he knows his maze has been invaded he casts stoneskin, tongues, heightened awareness, resist energy (fire), fly, cat's grace, shield, and control water(to flood the room). He begins combat by further flooding the room (via flash flood) plus quickened pilfering hand to grab and drop an opponent's weapon, then using his summoning and crowd control spells to try and keep the party occupied. As soon as he has the numbers evened out, he casts deflection in anticipation of a protracted battle.
When casting Summon Monster VIII, Jordimandus summons a Hezrou demon on first cast, and an Omox demon with the second cast.

This thread has been a real life saver since this is my first Pathfinder Campaign and with six players I would never been able to balance the fights properly. Joey and Askar have been real heroes. Many thanks for all the work!
I really like Joeys formatting for the first 4 books, and this my attempt to adjust Askars changes into Joeys format. I had to do some changes... and wanted to do some changes.. so this is my take on Askars updates. Hope Askar and Joey do not mind… see it as a homage. =)
I also repost the first encounters since the book 5 notes are a bit spread out in this thread. Sorry for the repat but it makes it easier for me when I start chapter 5 tomorrow!
Yeah, I had an idea to add comments and notes to the slides.
Something like:
------------------
P13. THE SWALLOWTAIL FESTIVAL
Father Zantus steps up to give a short speech thanking everyone for coming before declaring the Swallowtail Festival underway.
------------------
It would ease up the use of the presentation and be helpful to keep track of names and the flow of the game.
Especially since some slides isn’t directly out of the book. But first I would like to sort out the last 2 chapters.
I have collected a bunch of pictures for chapter 5 and 6 but haven’t sorted them out just yet, but they’re on the to do list. My players are dealing with the Graul family at the moment.
The slides are rather fun to make, but it sort of bugs me that some of the lovely art from Rise of the Runelords Card game is hard to find. Some of those “official” pictures would be nice to add. The app has some character art I’ve only seen there and some background such as the sawmill and watchtower.
I started to use PowerPoint as a story telling device, and I think it really helps to build the mood. These presentations on a big screen TV together with the Syrinscape Soundset sets things up nicely.
It started when I found a really nice player journal on obsidianportal (https://riseoftherunelords-155.obsidianportal.com/) and collected all the art they used there.
But after this I started to copy and crop art from absolutely everywhere I could find them. They get rather lengthy so Chapter two is 183 art slides, but I think they are really fun to use during play.
Yes Trace, I saw the repost, and that’s a really nice copy of the Graul homestead. Big thanks for uploading them. =)
I went through this long thread several times and tried to collect everything I could get for this campaign, but sadly quite a lot of the items are now missing.
The hero339 wonderful maps are my favorites though, and I have located several of those but have only been able to find low res copies of the chapter 3 maps.
I have the stained-glass windows in Foxglove Manor in my PowerPoint material though. I could try to upload that presentation if I just clean it up a little.
