Holashner and the Elder Evils?(spoilers)


Savage Tide Adventure Path


Can someone tell me who Holashner and the Elder Evils are? Maybe I missed a reference to them earlier somewhere or Is this the first time they are being Introduced In this adventure path? Is Holashner a long forgotten Obryinth Lord? Any info would be helpful thanx.

He's mentioned in Lords of Madness. The aboleths worship five or six beings called Elder Evils, which are basically deities with a Far Realm-bent to them. Very cthonian.

And that Is why I haven't heard of them before because I don't have Lords of Madness. Thanx office_ninja

Both Holashner and Y'chak were introduced to D&D in Lords of Madness, along with several other elder evils. They don't have stats, and there's really not much more done about them yet, but the aboleth chapter of Lords of Madness would really help if you want to expand on Golismorga or the other aboleth ruins below the isle.

Just a comment on the Lords of Madness book: great supplement to the game! I hadn't used it much in our past campaigns, but after reading through my latest subscription Dungeon, Lords will come back off the shelf! The book was a fun read, and now I am more than happy to incorporate some of the Aboleth info into the game.

So far, Savage Tide has been my personal and my player's personal favorite epic. Looking forward to seeing you guys at Origins again, James. MUST RENEW MY SUBSCRIPTION AND BUY PAIZO STUFF THERE!!!!

Going to start the Savage Tide campain this weekend any DM tips on what your players liked and didnt like?


They loved everything except the bullywug attack on Lavinia's place -- they felt the encounters were spread too thin and became tedious. This was mostly my fault, as I ran it just as written, as opposed to having the bullywugs band together in a more strategic way as the PCs hacked through room after room.
But everything else -- Journey's End, Kraken's Cove, Tamoachan, Parrot Island -- they loved it.


Great to hear, been really excited to lay it down for them. Did you find that any of the Items through out the Adventure gave to PC to much of a advantage?
Also very new to this site, how do we come about getting a logo?

My players were a bit frustrated that so many of the early encounters had creatures with damage reduction (the iron cobra and a bunch of zombies), but that was partly their own fault (not many slashing weapons, and they didn't figure out that Lavinia's ring would call off the cobra) and partly mine (I didn't realize that things were dragging on until it was too late). Otherwise they seem to have liked it so far. They've just reached Kraken's Cove, and man but those savage monkeys are surprisingly tough!

One player in my group has decided to hate Vanthus for a slightly odd reason -- not for trapping them under Parrot Island (which he more or less expected and could have rolled with), but for killing Shefton (which he thought was his rightful duty, for betraying them after they'd given him an opportunity to recant/save himself).


Thanks Sben, Good info, always open for ideas to make the game rememberable. Does anyone know how to get a Pic on here?
