Name of PCs: Dragor
Class/Level: Magus 7
Adventure: Skinsaw Murders
Catalyst: Thinking with the wrong head
Story: Caveat, my players get really into the weeds with RP. Everyone knows everyones boundaries, which is to say... there aren't many. Anyway, the Ifrit Magus had developed feelings for our 24 strength human fighter named Victoria. Victoria had a bad way of it in the early part of the fight, getting clobbered by two bells and then the golem performing a Called Shot and breaking both her legs. So when Xanesha came out to play, the lamia instantly went for the easiest kill. Dragor declared that he wanted to sacrifice himself for Victoria and take the full round attack. Everything hit, and wiped his meager offering of remaining hitpoints down to -22. He had a con of 15.

@Fair Strides I feel like scout deaths by Xanesha are fairly common in this AP. Though this is first time this has happened for me out of the three times I've ran it, I'm honestly surprised it hasn't happened before.

Name of PC: Dirks the Dwarf
Class/Level:Druid 7
Adventure: Skinsaw Murders
Catalyst: Splitting the party
Story: while exploring Magnimar solo, Dirks through some wild-ass knowledge and perception rolls, found Xanesha. One druid vs one TPK machine did not go well. He lasted two rounds. RIP.

And yes, all my players are good sports, Shifty Mongoose.

Name of PC: Erin Damascus, Human
Class/ Level: Inquisitor of Cayden Cailean 4
Adventure: Burnt Offerings
Catalyst: Nat 1 on a fear effect
Story: The entire party except for the inquisitor of the god of courage made saving throws against the Yeth Hounds. Erin wound up running into a trap which killed him on the spot with a failed massive damage save. The druid then fed his corpse to the tentamort in an attempt to befriend it.

Hey, so I'm starting a CotCT campaign on Sunday(Cam, Eric, Shawn, Will, and the Lactose Intolerant One stay away from this thread if you see it). Was hoping for general advice for Module 1, but I did have one main question:

Is there an agreed upon start date to the campaign? Any events that matter what season it's in? I'm kind of a stickler for tracking time in campaigns, so I like to have these things figured out. Any consensus? Reading through the first and second modules I can't find any sort of orientation point to align the rest of the adventure to.

The cleric unbeknownst to him had received a curse that caused a death effect on the next person he touched (this is from a side quest, not the actual AP). So when the Captain asked for healing...

So due to the party winding up more powerful than I planned by the final battle, I remade Kerdak as pure gunslinger. Anyway, the party swashbuckler failed a save against his death attack. That was the most straightforward.

In the campaign, characters have spontaneously combusted, been beheaded, been exploded by healing magic, been chopped in half by a friend who was very confused, been stabbed in the face by their captain, and yes, of course, drowned.
