I thought of this during PaizoCon last week, but, when I checked, I must have misread, because I thought that he didn't.
I just re-checked, and realized that Kyle Baird *did* write Rats of Round Mountain, Part I!!! So, while Kyle wasn't running the scenario personally, I am still holding him directly responsible for the death!
Even though he denied me my claim on the glory of a kill: (here)

... it still counts, in my book!!
The funny thing is that I wanted my Living Monolith to be able to claim the right to the title "the Risen". So, when Mat Black accidentlly almost let some damage slide, I pointed out to him that he hadn't rolled it all, and that I was going to take 20 more damage from reducing in size after Risghteous Might ended, as well.
I cheered! I was thrilled. Ecstatic, even.
I mean, it was bound to happen eventually, and I got to use a boon to become part of the Pharaoh's personal guard! I already carry a personal favor of the Pharaoh, the Ruby Prince himself, (the Pharaoh's Crook of Order from Assault on the Kingdom of the Impossible), so, this made it especially cool!
So, there, Kyle! I died, and it's all your fault!
Do I get Prestige Points for this?

Congratulations! Please send your tears and a self addressed stamped envelope to:
Care Baird
c/o the Four Horseman
4712 East Styx Ave
The Drowning Court, Abaddon
I'm half tempted to take a photo of actually bottling tears in a tiny little jar, just for the sake of the epic laughs. :-)
Oh, but, hey ... why're you still living with the Four Horsemen? Man, move outta your Dad's house. You're, like, four centuries old, man. Get your own place. ;)

I've got to revive this thread in order to give Kyle Baird props for an awesome adventure that really put my players through their paces. BBEG tore a Mersiel pre gen to shreds with a full attack, but the rest of the party eventually succeeded. We have many PC's going up and down during the fight and I had a fantastic time. I think my players even kind of enjoyed it. :P

I think it would have ended sooner, if the player of Merisiel hadn't decided it was hopeless after the first or second round...
In the end, the BBEG was taken down by a tanglefoot bag and the grease spell... ;)
Indeed, I have a new found respect for cheap debuffs! Entangled and prone is a great combo. -6 to all attacks and if you stand up and make your reflex save you still take a party full of AoO. :D

I've got to run that one soon. I've heard many good things about it.
That was a fun adventure. My barbarian chugged a potion of fly before the final encounter, which made for an epic chase when the bad guy was damaged enough to try and get away, and I got the final blow in... but not with my usual weapon.
