I'm about to launch the CC adventure path soon.
While looking for more resource to had to the experience i found about the Carrion hill module. From what i read it seems it is in perfect line with the CC path but need some fine tuning!
I have some questions here:
Does the adventure path REALLY benefit from carrion hill module, i mean beside the flavor those extra XP are they really needed?
Is the amount of time needed to adjust Carrion hill to fit in (level/ challengewise) really worth it?
For those who did include it in their CC campaing what is your thought on it, what have you done wrong/right.
What could have been done otherwise or not?
Yes, it is a really fun addition to the campaign.
Plus, I did all of the updating for you, right here:
Carrion Hill Update
Enjoy!
I ran Carrion Hill after Book 3 and before Book 4 using the updates from the link above (thank you for all the work done for that!!).
As to if it is really needed - I would say no, its not really needed, but my players really enjoyed the side adventure. I'm glad I ran it. I had a really good plot hook for my PCs to get them to go into town using backstory for one character. Some others have found ways to tie the Whispering Way into it, but I didn't.
I also used Carrion Hill as a way to condition people for the horrors of Book 4 and the whole sanity point system. I didn't actually use sanity points in the module, but it certainly helped get them in the mood for the very strange creatures coming later.
I can't answer for the time to adjust since I used the already adjusted stats :). And it was perfect for my group. During that time, there was actually only 2 PCs and one NPC who has been traveling with them all this time to act as back up for a small party. I added in a fourth NPC that I had one of the others run for battle so I didn't accidentally kill them. Though for the final battle, that second NPC ran and hid anyway (we traumatized that poor man) and it was still a decent fight.
