Hey guys,
I finally managed to finish the newest adventure set in Mor Aldenn, City of Mages! This is another great adventure from Ron Lundeen, the author of the Haunting of Soldragon Academy.
This newest adventure is called "Wreck of the Keening Crone" and takes the PCs upstream from Mor Aldenn on a race against time... a race to find a great treasure and perhaps rescue the captain of the Keening Crone. It pits the PCs against thieves, boggards, a black dragon and a naga!
This adventure also uses a new system (called Haste Points) to track how future events will play out. The faster the PCs get to the Wreck of the Keening Crone, the more advantages they will have!
Are you ready to leave the safe waters of Mor Aldenn behind?
Are you ready to dive into the depths of the acidic waters of the Spindleflow?
If you are... this may be the adventure that you've been waiting for!
At the moment, Wreck of the Keening Crone is available from RPGNow.com, but will hopefully soon be made available on Paizo.com... soon!
If you want to see a preview of the adventure, you should also follow the link above.

The system is specific to this adventure in the way that it tells the GM how to handle future events based on the collected haste points. But with a little work, you could easily use this type of system in your own adventures. It is pretty flexible.
Here's an example from the adventure:
Haste Points in Encounter 7
Each area of Encounter 7 details how the PCs’ accumulated Haste Points affect the encounter, but here is a short summary. Each total includes all the events of higher totals. For example, if the PCs earn 5 Haste Points, the events described in 7-8, 6, and 5 Haste Points have already occurred.
7+ Haste Points: The boggards have already plundered the Keening Crone, but a few boggard looters are searching the ship further. Tem’s men have arrive and, after a short skirmish with the boggards, are searching the hold of the ship.
6 Haste Points: One of Tem’s divers finds the magical dagger and can use it against the PCs in combat.
5 Haste Points: The boggards heal from their initial injuries at the hands of the divers.
4 Haste Points: A pair of electric eels investigates Area 7E and attacks anyone intruding upon them thereafter.
3 Haste Points: The last of the air escapes the pilothouse.
2 Haste Points: The divers grow restless and frantic, lending them extra strength in battle.
0 or 1 Haste Point: A fourth boggard looter joins his fellows.

I am trying to create a "Complete List of Pathfinder Modules" to help GMs shop for them. See this thread
May I include the ones from Headless Hydra?
Absolutely! Thanks!

The faster the PCs get to the Wreck of the Keening Crone, the more advantages they will have!Now that sounds awesome. Is it specific to this adventure, or is there a section on how to use haste Points in any adventure?
There is now! I just had an article released in Kobold Quarterly #20 called "Make Haste!" that details how to use this mechanic in designing your own adventure, including several examples.
Thanks,
Ron
Congrats Ron! I hope it is well received.
