The first table enjoyed it immensely. They played up. Upon finding that Drendle Drang couldn't get his wine, they immediately searched for the trashiest bottle of wine they could, as revenge for sending them on this ridiculous mission. (I joked that it was Sour Cream and Onion flavored) When they decided they were going to back to find Janira and ask for her help, I told them she wasn't there, so they decided to go on to the Wall. I had Janira at the wall, in the rain, having her weekly picnic near her father's name. The ranger and I both teared up. I rolled for the cleric of Abadar both times, which was good, because I play a paladin of Abadar and roleplayed them similarly. The cleric at the table, a character named Monsieur Alphonse with a thick french accent, was the one who found the Pathfinder's Coin. He has Profession Undertaker. The table both knew it was a replayable, and that I was running it again the next day, and opted to have Monsieur Alphonse re-record the message, with a pitch that I read it the next day in his voice. I gave it my best shot, but at that point I'd run five games in two days and had pretty much lost my voice. I misread the map and had one of the windows above the bed, so when they broke in they fell right onto sleeping Fimbrik illusion. This tipped the player's off to the the fact that it was an illusion, but none of them made their save, so all the characters were convinced this gnome was comatose. Pretty funny.
The second table enjoyed it even more. They played down. There were four fighter types, someone playing Merisel, a gnome alchemist (playing the closest thing to Mogmurch I've seen since Mogmurch) and a warpriest. They also got Dreng the worst bottle they could. They were excited to see Janira again (everyone is, she's so great). The two notable occurrences were that when they got to Fimbrik's house, Merisel decided that no one was home and she would jump on the couch. She then failed to notice the summoning circle activate, and fought off the three fire beetles from prone. Good stuff. They also opted to go talk to Sir Reinhardt, and try and help him. He hired Totally-Not-Mogmurch to try and make his leap even cooler by throwing a bomb under him as he made it across. Unfortunately, as we all know, he did NOT make it across, and took an extra six fire damage on the way down for his troubles. They asked me what his domain was going to be if he made it- I told them Orphans, thinking it would be a cute little backstory that he had grown up in an orphanage and wanted to give orphans Golarion over someone to look up to. I did not take into account that he dies, leaving the poor orphans with even less than they had. Pretty sad. The table thought it was funny.
