Blood Pig is still one of my favorite moments from CotCT.

And that's saying a LOT coming from a great AP that I had fun in almost from beginning to end. :)

I missed our session with blood pig. :-(

I kicked some ass at kniveses though!!!

In the game I am running now the party has a good-aligned Druid, and she would not tolerate Blood Pig. When she heard the rules she began casting Call Lightning, and initiatives were rolled.

I'm running History of Ashes now, and I've been awarding "benchmark" levels rather than tracking XP. I just advanced my party to level 11 and they're about to hit the Acropolis.

However, I've been harassing them their entire trek since they left Harse. They've been rightly paranoid since leaving Korvosa, and I'm giving them more interactions with the various factions to liven up the story and feed their fears. Cinnabar sent assassins so shadow them in Kaer Maga when they were resupplying before hitting the Cinderlands, and the party rogue turned the tables on them and shadowed the assassin while he met with the Cinderlander to hire him. Unfortunately for the rogue, the Cinderlander's perception beat his stealth and he got spotted.

History of Ashes sets up all these great players then does almost nothing with them until the final battle, and I felt that was a shame. So, I harass the PCs with random encounters in the Cinderlands, and every morning a scrying sensor shows up to follow them. Sometimes they dispel it, some times they fail. After a particularly unlucky encounter with some Stone Giants, the party was badly hurt and stopped to rest, and it happened they did not dispel the scrying sensor that day.

I had one of the gargoyles do a fly-by scouting later when they were setting up camp, and they failed to notice it, and the Cinderlander and 2 mantis crept in past their watch and ambushed them. 2 party members nearly died in the first round, but they chased them off with fear effects. Still, the message was sent, and my party is even more paranoid now.

Steev42, you're a lifesaver. I've been running CotCT for a while now and using your conversion docs each new module. We're on History of Ashes now.

Thanks for all your hard work!

I'm running this AP right now and I've found my Pathfinder party is steamrolling the encounters. I'll try these conversions next game. Thanks for your hard work!
