Paranoid group

[Vaas]

I am running my group through Carrion Hill. There are 6 of them and all 30pt characters. Group started out as 3 which is why the high point system but and ended with 6. Well 2 things have come out so far in the adventure.

1. The group got the ritual book but did not give it to the mayor. They did not trust the mayor or anyone else for that matter. I thought that was kind of funny, since the module does not count for if the players do not show him the book. Surprisingly the mage does have linguistics and history along with spell craft. So after all night of studying he did find out about the names of the keepers but not a lot else.

Spoiler:

2.Keeper Hyve – I added some help in the first room with him as 6 level 5 vs 1 level 7 rogue was not going to much of a fight. I may have missed something in the second room he goes, the one down the chute. Is there a way out? Besides climbing back up 20ft to the tunnel, I did not read anywhere that there was another exit? My group stone shaped a hook into the wall and tied 150ft of rope together which is how they got out.

3. The ranger who was on one of the ledges attempts to swim over to the other ledge to make room for another party member coming down the chute. He jumps into the water and fails his swim roll. He then proceeds to fail the next 3 rolls and is sinking to the bottom. The rogue finally jumps in to save him, once he makes it back up the fight is over. It was funny :)

4. Once backup they went to meet the mayor. Once again the paranoia started. They would not tell him that they killed him, only that something got to him and he is dead. Of course, that something was the 2-handed specialized bull strengthen fighter :)
