I must admit I'm curious about something. Does Mythic Adventures and WotR assume that Hero Points are NOT in use?
I've noticed that a number of the Mythic abilities are quite similar to benefits from using Hero Points. Also, the second book strongly suggested using Hero Points if the GM doesn't want to use the Mythic rules.
(I must admit I'm contemplating using Hero Points for The Worldwound Incursion and then eliminating them when the players become Mythic. This would provide players with a means of escaping death upon reaching 2nd level until they become Mythic, as well as providing a hint at the mythic nature of the characters prior to their Ascension.)
We always assume Hero Points are optional.
They are, in my opinion, a GREAT option, since they help keep PCs alive and are quite useful against turns of bad luck.
Hmm. It seems odd, that's all. After all, Traits are in the same Optional Rules section that Hero Points are, but the general assumption for WotR is that Traits are in use (and in fact are driving certain aspects of the story itself). Hero Points don't seem to have this same vibe for some reason.
(I use them, mind you; I don't like characters dying because of a bad die roll. Heck, I even allow 1 Hero Point to save a character rather than two so to encourage their use. If the players for my future WotR game are willing to use them, I'll include them in that game as well.)

I feel like a noob asking this question but here goes:
When an encounter lists a challenge rating AND a story award is it assumed both awards are given to characters or only one?
For example, B2 in the Abandoned Temple is listed as CR 1 (while I see nothing that should give it any kind of CR) but then states a story award of 200XP per NPC, for a possible total of 400XP. Now, CR 1 is worth 400XP so I assume this is where the story award comes in but there are other encounters that don't add up like that. For example areas E and F both have a listed CR of 4 (1,200XP) but offer an optional story award on 400XP each.
So what does the adventure assume is being awarded?
When I run games I typically get rid of XP and level up by fiat but I always like to do a complete breakdown spreadsheet of all encounters and awards to best determine the insertion of sideplots and best place to level, etc. I don't remember seeing this when I did a breakdown of the first chapter of Reign of Winter, which is my only other experience running a Pathfinder AP.
EDIT:
Some of the story awards are obvious replacements of the CR such as area D awarding 800XP if the mongrelmen are made friendly replacing their CR 3. This area also awards an obvious addition of 400XP.

You always get XP for defeating monsters and traps and stuff (this isn't the encounter's CR, but the actual XP totals listed for monsters and traps in the encounter). Story award XP is in addition to all of that.
The CR 1 notation in area B2 is in fact an error; there was at one point a minor encounter there with a giant fly, but I removed it to put in the more detailed NPC Reactions section. I then forgot to omit the (CR 1) from the encounter. Which is another reason why you shouldn't use the CR notation as an XP indicator—the CR notation (except when it's an error, as in this case) is there pretty much just for you the GM to have a quick and easy reference for the encounter difficulty, so that in play you can make last minute adjustments if you wish to, for example, warn off weakened PCs, or add a few extra things to bolster an encounter against tougher PCs.

B2 The CR1 challenge is to make the NPC's not do what they would naturally do. Via diplomacy or possibly intimidation.
In the D example. Defeating the three Mongrels would be worth 1200 XP (400*3).. Which is the most you can get for helping them.
In E, getting across a 10' gap isnt exactly a CR4 challange.. the difficulty is more of a level 1 challange.
In F, its mostly for a perception check and a knowledge check, hence the CR1 reward. The creature itself as im sure you know is a CR5 if they were to fight it.
In this and the other path i ran, and the two paths i played in. Story Awards were added ontop of the encounter awards if there was combat or something.
Cool stuff with an extra helping of flavor
Great start, should've given the PCs a high level of immersion and pushes them right in!
But 7 PCs at lvl 2--oh, boy, sounds like a lot of work to make the following encounters still representing a challenge to the group.Ruyan.
Roll dice behind the screen and have the monsters win initiative.

I have a little problem - probably because i'm not very experienced as GM.
My players know Pathfinder a lot better than me. Their characters are very optimazed.
Most ecounters are blast - they finish them so quick that sometimes monsters can't do anything. In ecounter in Black Wing Library oponents couldn't do even a single action - they were tripped to death.
How would you advice to make ecounters harder and more challenging for players but not gamebreaking at the same time? I don't want to have TPK, but i really feel this AP is too easy for them.
I am wary of something in your post. You said they were tripped to death. Were the PCs using the attack of opportunity generated by the NPC standing up to trip them again? I ask because that does not work. The attack of opportunity happens before the target is standing, so they can not be tripped at that time. I only mention this because you mentioned your inexperience and that is easy to miss.
I think he means the foes were tripped and then attacked as they stood. Then next round they'd be tripped... and attacked as they stood.
Do note: if a trip attempt fails, the tripper can become the tripee.
Also, an enemy can attempt an Acrobatics roll to roll away from foes without triggering AoO (I asked about this recently and it was confirmed). So Acrobatics can help enemies move away from a tripping foe.
By the way, did they have the Improved Trip Feat? Without that, they suffer an AoO when tripping.
So Acrobatics can help enemies move away from a tripping foe.
What would the DC be for this? Would it be a static number, based on the opponent's CMD, or other?
Just bought the module from my favorite FLAGS (Sentry Box Calgary!). Anyway, read it over 3 times already. I love it. If this is Amber's first published adventure then kudos on an exceptional job.
I really, really like the detailed inclusion of the NPC's from the start, and the detailed backgrounds. Somewhat conincidental that in a city of 12,000 they have all had previos interactions, but I'll wave that off as fate.
The only thing I would have changed is the devotional points mechanic. I love the idea but I have to admit stopping to cast mend item on a helmet while guards are reacting to your presence seems hard to reconcile.
I've been looking at the Exp for this book, and it says that you should get enough exp to go from level 5 to level 6 between the Minotaur, Jeslyn and the wardstone/babues. I added it up and it totals 20500, about 2500 short for to hit level 6 (per player). I'm not sure where the extra exp is supposed to come from.
Experience totals per part
Part 1: 1800
Part 2: 3300
Part 3: 5100 (varies depending on randoms)
Part 4: 5500
Wardstone/Babues: 4800
Total: 20500

There is a 35 percent chance of a random encounter while underground per hour. There is a second encounter chart for Kenabres (above ground) as well; while it doesn't give the time or percentage, I'd say keeping it at 35 percent per hour is still viable.
For the above ground I'm pretty sure they mean for you to hit one in between every area above ground.
Not sure if I read this in it, or just made it up.
I think it's in there somewhere though.
Yeah, the random encounter for underground works out to about a 100% chance of 1 encounter and Ekeli, you're right, it does say that you get one random between each location. Both of these are included in the numbers I put up before (part 3 varies b/c it depends on the encounters you get on the amount of exp you get).
Stat Blocks Question-
For the Fiendish Minotaur on pg. 50, I'm trying to get the numbers straight for his damage bonus with the power attack with a greataxe...
Would it read like this? Power Attack- greataxe (+8/+3; 3d6+9??)
I'm terrible with crunch.

His BAB is +6, so that means he would get -2 to attacks with PA. With a two handed weapon -2 translates to +6 to damage.
So his new attack line would readPower Attack- greataxe +7/+2 (3d6+12/x3)
Thank you j b...
So the minotaur has up to two increments of -1 penalties as per the power attack rolls, but he can add up to an additional +4 damage with his great axe, and since he's using a two handed weapon that's another +2 (50% of the +4)!!
Then you add on the +6 damage with the smite good ability, which would translate to +18 damage!! Fiendish minotaur=low lvl paladin slayer.
Ouch!
There is no stats for the height and weight of the Minotaur in the Bestiary first printing, nor do I find it in the errata. : (

No problem, don't forget he's got a -1 to hit from smite good as well b/c of 8 Cha. For size... the 3.5 Minotaur is 7ft tall and 700 pounds
Unless there is a ruling I am unaware of, the Minotaur does not take a penalty from having a negative CHA modifier. Smite Good allows it to add a Charisma bonus if applicable, it does not require the subject to take a penalty.

Tactics Notes: This is just a GM reference for some of the NPCs in The Worldwound Incursion.
Alot of the spells I can't remember so I jot some notes as to effects and what not, so it will hopefully prevent me from burning the pages of rule books as I scramble to look at what does what when an NPC casts a spell. I was able to take notes up to Faxon, at which point, my brain exploded. I hope this helps anyone who is considering running this adventure. As an aside, I never really appreciated how deadly this adventure can be to low lvl parties until I started reading up on what these NPCs can be capable of (especially Faxon)... I modified the fiendish beetle because I would think it would have to be a little intelligent to cast smite good on opponents.

Is Othirubo's Dex boost from his Mutagen already included in the stat block on pg. 47?
Once the PCs get to H2, they have a number of options. But the path to Hosilla's quarters isn't on the way out, in fact you have to go down, which seem counter to way the PCs have been going. I can't find any reason for the PCs to go that way (except on accident) other than just telling them they need to explore and missing Hosilla's quarters seems to be a big mistake.
Any suggestions on how to get the PCs to head towards Hosilla's quarters, instead of just going up and out?
What about overhearing the two cultists talking about the really nice sword (Radiance) Hosilla has stashed away downstairs?

The PC's don't know which way is out so it's a 50/50 that they got the right/wrong way. Also they agreed to clear out the den for Neatholm, so if they skip out they lose the help from Neatholm in Part 4.
Is it just me, or may it be that a part of Horgus first interactions with the PC's is missing? His paragraph is, compared to Anevia's and Aravashniel's, suspiciously short and there is another point: His promise of 1000 gold to escort him to the surface. Namely, there is an allusion to how he promised the PC's that sum a page earlier, but the wording seems to refer to another part in the text, a part which just isn't there.
On page nine it says: "If made helpful, he increases his promised reward if the PCs get him to the surface from 1,000 gp to 2,000 gp,..." As I said, this alludes that he somewhere makes a promise of this reward, but that section never appears. The next mention of this reward also alludes to this promise which never appeared in the text elsewhere.
In case that a paragraph was swallowed up by editor demons, I'd love to see it back here, given that Horgus got relatively little set-up for his interactions, in comparison to Anevia and Aravashniel. :)
Looking for ideas for (MY PLAYERS STAY OUT!):
As for tying him into the overarching story - perhaps had a run-in with cultists from above, maybe even working for them briefly before splitting off due to a difference of interests. Have there be a line of depravity that Millorn was not willing to cross, and the PCs can use that to bring him back to the light.
Hmmm good thoughts Thanis. I honestly didn't even think about using those rules.
I'm curious if anyone else has considered replacing the current demonic horde that happens at the end of Worldwound with a pair of Vrocks (which is close to a CR-11 encounter) to make it more... dangerous. I mean, as-written the final battle is a curbstomp against the demons. That seems a bit anti-climactic to me, so I was thinking of upping the ante a bit with something that can actually HURT the characters despite the damage reduction and regeneration.
Thoughts?
If I could go back and redo it...probably yeah. Maybe not to Vrock, but I would have upped it somehow as even the players said it was rather anti-climatic after everything else that occurred. Though, even knocking their DR down by 5 could have turned it into a much different fight so they could at least be hurt.

I would recommend no.
The point of the encounter isn't to endanger the PCs. The point is to throw them up against a foe that they normally would be slaughtered by but to let their new powers turn the fight into a cakewalk.
I suspect that Vrocks are powerful enough that they'll be able to still threaten the PCs, even with their enhanced powers. Especially when you throw in some of their spell-like abilities and defenses, and their spores (which bypass damage reduction), and their mobility.
James, just curious...do you have any expanded backstory on Millorn floating around?
So, I guess that's a "no" on Horgus possibly missing any of his text? Then why the weird phrasing of his promise of a reward?

Looks like there might be some text that got cut or lost. Indeed, when Horgus first encounters the PCs, he should offer them 1,000 gp if they can get him out of the dark alive.
And I wouldn't say "swallowed up by editor demons" at all. If anything, it was swallowed up by developer demons (me).
That said, he doesn't get a lot of setup for his interactions, because of the three NPCs, he has the least to offer the group. Other than a reward.

I have. My first idea was to replace half of the babaus with one vrock (same CR). Then I tought the same as you (two vrocks). My last idea involves doing two or three waves of demons (dretches/babaus/one vrock?), so players can feel powerful but at the same time feel some danger.
As written, I feel the combat is underwhelming, even more if you have previously killed or nearly killed Jeslyn just by making the wardstone explode (average damage is 70 vs Jeslyn's 80 hp). My players would probably look at me and say "So... That's it??"
This adventure lacks a powerful demon boss at the end.

Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for (aside from possible additional set-up flavor for Horgus, but I can provide that on my own, too ^^)! :)
My players really liked the Mongrelmen. I am thinking of opening the race up for replacement characters. It looks like they would be about 12 RP based on 3 monstrous humanoid, 3 natural AC, say 4 for the racial skills and limit them to +2 stealth/sleight of hand, 1 for slam attack, maybe 1 for the mimic ability. I am thinking standard stats (+2 CON, +2 WIS, -2 CHA). What do people think?
James, just curious...do you have any expanded backstory on Millorn floating around?I do not.
This is exactly the reason I've cut Millorn from my game. His story doesn't make a great deal of sense and just comes across as filler. I'd much rather have the party come across a dretch here.
I'm still using Millorn, but I gave him a quasit familiar and made him one of Hosilla's subordinates. Its theoretically his job to sound the alert if something nasty comes up from the Darklands. Actually, its just an excuse for her to park her craziest subordinate out on an extended mission where she doesn't have to put up with his bad habits in the barracks.
I like that rationale a lot
