Apologies to do these out of order, but I've had a lot more experience with these stat blocks now and I feel confident with them, so here is:

Part 6: The Pinnacle of Avarice

X1 Entrance Ramp (CR 18)
- 4 PCs: 1 Warden of Song, 1 Warden of Wind, 2 Wardens of Thunder
- 5 PCs: 1 Warden of Song, 1 Warden of Wind, 3 Wardens of Thunder
- 6 PCs: 1 Warden of Song, 2 Wardens of Wind, 3 Wardens of Thunder

X2 Visions of Karzoug (CR 17)
- 4 PCs: Karzoug’s Image and 1 Warden of Thunder
- 5 PCs:
- 6 PCs: Karzoug’s Image and 2 Wardens of Thunder

Note: The Warden(s) stand as guards of the Throne Room, but they’ll come to Karzoug’s aid against the PCs after warning Viorian of their presence.

X3 Throne Room (CR 20)

- 4 PCs: Viorian Dekanti, 1 Warden of Song, 2 Wardens of Thunder
- 5 PCs: Viorian Dekanti, 2 Wardens of Song, 3 Wardens of Thunder
- 6 PCs: Viorian Dekanti, 1 Warden of Runes, 1 Warden of Song, 2 Wardens of Thunder

X4 Rune Giant Lair (CR 18)
4 PCs: Karzoug’s Image and 1 Warden of Runes
5 PCs: Karzoug’s Image, 1 Warden of Runes, and 1 Warden of Song
6 PCs: Karzoug’s Image, 1 Warden of Runes, 1 Warden of Song, 1 Warden of Thunder

Note: I moved Karzoug’s image into this room so it didn’t instantly get destroyed, but this fight is scaled on the assumption you did not do that. Move it where you wish.

X5 Lamia-kin Quarters
While this room is typically empty, if the party either failed to kill, or never encountered Yolanda (Lamia Matriarch Ninja 8), she may be found here. She seeks the aid of the lamia priestesses in X6 if attacked. I also recommend moving the Image of Karzoug into this room.

X6 Priestess Cells (CR 17)
- 1 Priestess of Divine Consumption per PC, but with Sihedron rings

X7 Hungerers’ Den (CR 17 to 19)
- 4 PCs: 2 Hungerers +1 per Lamia Matriarch that has tried and failed to defeat the PCs in...

Sorry for the confusion here. You have down Isis and Ceoptra’s attendant down in the Most High Ceoptra fight. Where are we able to find those stat blocks?

[zSSL]

I want to say thank you to Joey and Askar for their amazing work on this I've been using both of your rebuilds since book 3. Our group is now about halfway through book 6!

I have 2 questions though, as I like to make sure things are kosher rules wise as I look over them. I like idea of Dear Grandma's shop but how is she selling potions of up to 8th level? I'm worried that super easy access to the spells and buffs she has as potions (mindblank, legendary proportions etc) might make some stuff too easy.

The other is about Khalib's stat block. His AC is listed as 43 when he's all buffed out it's listed that he has +17 natural armor, +7 from ironskin, +8 from FotD III = +15. Is there an ability or something I'm not seeing? My parties attack bonuses start to hit a wall around the 42+ range and I don't want to stonewall them if I can't account for the stats.

[Gnutten]

My group is finally reaching the last chapter, so its time to paste some more notes. Still building on Askar notes with some adjustments to fit my miniature collection.

- 4 PCs: Boots of the Winter Jarl

B5 Ore Separation (CR 11)

Haunt: Gold-Eating Dwarf:

Haunt: Gold-Eating Dwarf:
XP 12800
LN haunt (all of area B5)
Caster Level 11th
Notice Perception DC 25 (to notice the shadowy image of Silas crouching in the corner)
hp 22; Trigger proximity; Reset 1 minute
Effect Silas’s words function as a mass suggestion spell; anyone who hears him must succeed at a DC 20 Will save to resist the compulsion to scoop up and eat a handful of the arsenic-tainted dirt on the room’s floor. The haunt enhances the already deadly effects of the arsenic in this case—anyone who eats the stuff must make a DC 25 Fortitude save against the effects of arsenic poisoning. Silas watches as anyone eats, and as the victim feels the poison flowing through his system, the haunted character sees Silas suddenly shrink in on himself, grow emaciated, and then fly apart in a red explosion of bite-sized morsels of flesh and bone. An instant later, he is gone—but only for a minute, after which he appears again. Anyone who fails the initial Will save is also exposed to wendigo psychosis (DC 26 Will save).

---------------------------------

B6 Ore Shaft (CR 9)

The Haunted Chain creature is replaced with the following haunt.

Haunt: The Weight of Greed:

XP 6400
CE belligerent haunt (upper half of B6)
Caster Level 9th
Notice Perception 20 (to hear the subtle movement of chains)
hp 54; Trigger proximity; Reset 1 minute
Effect As soon as the tipping stairs are triggered (or just before the PCs are about to exit the room), the spirits haunting the cabin manifest by animating the chain hanging from the ceiling here. The chain twists like an immense snake as it animates, coiling over and across itself. Every turn, it attempts a grapple check with a CMB of +20. If it succeeds, it wraps around its target’s body and neck, and makes a drag check with a CMB of +20, pulling them towards or into the shaft itself.

On its turn, a grappled creature must make a DC 25 Fortitude saving throw or be choked by the chains, and rendered unable to speak or use verbal spell components. At the start of any subsequent turns, if a creature is choked, they must make an additional DC 25 Fortitude saving throw or fall unconscious at 0 hit points. An unconscious creature grappled by the chain must make a DC 25 Fortitude saving throw at the start of its turn or fall to -1 hit points and be dying. A dying creature grappled by the chain must make a DC 25 Fortitude saving throw at the start of its turn or die.

Furthermore, if the chain successfully pulls a creature off of a surface and suspends it in the air, it draws them up to the top of the shaft (at a rate of 20 feet per round) and drops any creatures at 0 or fewer hit points down the shaft (which inflicts 5d6 points of fall damage).

This haunt is unusual, and can be damaged by physical means as well as positive energy. The chain has an AC of 20, hardness 10, and 54 hit points. Its CMD is 32 for the purposes of escaping from a grapple. Destroying the haunt causes any creature suspended by the chain to drop.

---------------------------------

B8 Front Porch (CR 10)

Haunt: Partially eaten Dwarf:

XP: 9600
LN spiteful haunt (northern 15 feet of area B8)
Caster Level 11th
Notice Perception DC 25 (to notice the distant humanoid shape turn to face the party)
hp 20; Trigger proximity; Reset 1 day
Effect A dwarven man (recognizable as the same one from the haunt in area B5) staggers out of the snow. His eyes are wild with fear, his clothes in tatters, and blood drips from several cuts on his exposed flesh. When he sees the PCs, he cries out, “Run! Run for your lives!” With that, the dwarf flees into the snow. All PCs in the area must make a successful DC 22 Will save to avoid being overcome with the conviction that the other members of the party are hungry monsters and are about to attack them—those who fail this save are affected with an effect similar to song of discord, with a 50% chance to attack their allies, and a 50% chance to simply flee at full speed from their allies each turn. Characters who race blindly into the snow have a flat 50% chance each round of running off the edge of the cliff, in which case they fall 60 feet to the ground below.

---------------------------------

B10 Coat Room

Treasure changed to::

- 4 PCs: +2 monstrous humanoid-bane earth breaker
- 5 PCs: +2 monstrous humanoid-bane earth breaker and cloak of the yeti
- 6 PCs: +1 monstrous humanoid-bane earth breaker, cloak of the yeti, and comfort’s cloak

---------------------------------

B12 Storage Closet

Treasure added: Banner of restful nights

B13 Strong Room

Treasure changed to:

- 1 bag of gold dust, each worth 1,000gp, per PC
- 2 bags of gold nuggets, each worth (600x# of PCs)
- 3 uncut gems, each worth 50gp, per PC

Suggestion: If your PCs need a particular type of gem or rock for spell components, make some or all of the above gems that type of gem.

---------------------------------

B14 Living Area (CR 10)

Haunt: Cannibal Urgings:

XP: 9600
CE haunt (all of area B14)
Caster Level 10th
Notice Wisdom check DC 18 (to notice sudden twinges of
unnatural hunger)
hp 20; Trigger proximity; Reset 1 day
Effect When the hunger pangs strike, all characters in the room must make DC 20 Fortitude saves to resist taking 10d6 points of nonlethal starvation damage from the sudden phantom hunger. Accompanying this ravenous sensation is the conviction that only the flesh of the other PCs can sate the hunger. Any character who took starvation damage must then make a DC 26 Will save to resist taking 1d8 points of Wisdom drain and exposing themself to wendigo psychosis as the cannibal urgings overwhelm the PC and drive them to the brink of madness.

---------------------------------

B15 Larder (CR 15)

Haunt: The Hungry Dead:

XP: 51200
CE haunt (all of area B15)
Caster level 15th
Notice Perception DC 25 (to hear the rising whispers and slobbering grunts of the hungry dead)
hp 30; Trigger touch; Reset 1 minute
Effect To observers, the haunted character suddenly begins thrashing wildly, as if dozens of invisible hands were tugging and pushing him about the room. At the same time, bloody wounds from invisible teeth appear across the victim’s body. The haunted character perceives that he has suddenly been surrounded by a dozen emaciated but fantastically strong dwarves, all of whom are attempting to eat him alive. The ghosts make 10 attack rolls against the PC at a +20 bonus; each hit deals 2d6+7 points of damage and threatens a critical hit on a roll of 19–20. A character reduced to –10 hit points by these bites is torn apart so that nothing remains but a red, well-gnawed skeleton draped in his gear.

Event 1: Cannibal Fury (CR 17)

Haunt: Cannibal Fury:

XP: 102400
CE belligerent haunt (Vekker Cabin and environs to a radius of 30 feet from cabin’s outer walls)
Caster Level 17th
Notice Perception DC 25 (to hear the sound of knocking
somewhere in the cabin)
hp 102; Trigger timed; Reset 1 week
Effect This persistent haunt adheres to the following round-by-round schedule. Note that until the haunt begins to act in force on the fifth round, it cannot be dismissed or damaged. These first four rounds are, in effect, an extended warning of what’s about to occur.
Rounds 1-3: Allow the PCs to each make a DC 25 Perception check. Anyone who succeeds hears a faint knocking coming from the lower portion of the cabin, probably the outer door at area B3, as if some lost traveler were seeking shelter from the storm. PCs in the lower rooms of the cabin or the stair shaft need only succeed at a DC 10 Perception check to hear this knocking. The knocking continues for 3 rounds, during which time PCs might head down to see whom it might be. Attempts to see the ground outside the cabin are fruitless due to the whirling snow flurries, unless the PCs are within 5 feet, and then they still see nothing present that could have caused the knocking.

Round 4: The strange knocking grows silent for 1 round.

Round 5: A loud crack followed by a mighty hammering sound suddenly fills the cabin as its walls begin to shake and groan, almost as if the structure were giving up its purchase on the cliff edge and sliding off. On each turn that a PC remains in the haunt’s area, they must make a DC 15 Acrobatics check; failure indicates they cannot move for that round, while failure by 5 or more indicates they fall prone. A character in area B6 at this time falls off the stairs if they fall prone.

Round 6: The hammering continues, but now the faint images of starving dwarven ghosts can be glimpsed out of the corner of the eye. Each character suddenly experiences painful hunger pangs and must succeed at a DC 20 Fortitude save to resist taking 4d6 points of nonlethal damage and 1d4 points of Constitution damage from the horrific hunger. Each character who fails this save must also make a DC 26 Will save or develop wendigo psychosis.

Round 7: Voices can now be heard, in most cases wordless cries of pain, but now and then snatches of sentences like “eating us…” or “don’t let him…” or “so hungry….” The hammering continues, but now the starving ghosts seem to notice the PCs for the first time. Each PC must make a DC 18 Will save— failure indicates that the haunt possesses them as the ghosts themselves seem to flow into the PC’s body. Possession inflicts 1d6 points of Wisdom drain, and has additional implications in rounds 8–10.

Round 8–10: For the last 3 rounds of this complex haunt, the shaking and hammering continues. Characters possessed by the haunt do not need to make Acrobatics checks to move and take whatever actions they can to render non-possessed characters unconscious or helpless, using whatever tools they have at their disposal. If a possessed character is adjacent to a helpless, non-possessed character and is not threatened by any other non-possessed character, they attempt a coup de grace action against the helpless character with the best weapon option they have. If a possessed character is adjacent to a dead character, they feed on the body and take no other actions unless they are attacked by someone else.

Round 11: With a sudden lurch, the haunting stops. Possessed characters immediately regain control of their faculties. Any character who successfully fed on an ally must make a DC 20 Will save upon realizing what they’ve done—failure results in an additional 2d4 points of Wisdom drain from the supernaturally fueled revelation. At your option, characters subjected to extreme Wisdom drain from this haunt could develop various insanities (see page 250 of the GameMastery Guide). The cabin itself shows no signs of damage from the violence aside from anything the PCs themselves have done to it.

Event 3: The Hungry Ghost (CR 16)

- 4 PCs: Karivek Vekker and 1 Advanced Frost Worm
- 5 PCs: Karivek Vekker, 1 Advanced Frost Worm

Great work Gnutten! I really like the Old Big Nasty Frost Worm, it looks like quite the menace!

I'm extremely late to answer the questions posed above (don't know how I missed them for so many months), but here's some quick answers should anyone else be wondering.

Sorry for the confusion here. You have down Isis and Ceoptra’s attendant down in the Most High Ceoptra fight. Where are we able to find those stat blocks?

Any creatures I mention can be found by clicking the links at the top of each post, which lead to my Statblocks Google Drive. 'Isis, Ceoptra's Attendant' is a jotunblood cloud giant bard (template) I added to add a second major threat and to buff all of the melee fighters in the room.

I have 2 questions though, as I like to make sure things are kosher rules wise as I look over them. I like idea of Dear Grandma's shop but how is she selling potions of up to 8th level? I'm worried that super easy access to the spells and buffs she has as potions (mindblank, legendary proportions etc) might make some stuff too easy.

The other is about Khalib's stat block. His AC is listed as 43 when he's all buffed out it's listed that he has +17 natural armor, +7 from ironskin, +8 from FotD III = +15. Is there an ability or something I'm not seeing? My parties attack bonuses start to hit a wall around the 42+ range and I don't want to stonewall them if I can't account for the stats.

Regarding Dear Grandma's shop: Dear Grandma, as I may have mentioned earlier up in the thread, is Baba Yaga (witch 20 / archmage 10) who has some unique abilities when it comes to item crafting - Return of the Runelords Book 6 specifically mentions that she sells potions higher than 3rd level. This is of course a pretty silly thing to add to the game, but my players really liked it, and I felt happy to let them offload their lategame loot for some consumables that would make them feel more confident about going into the endgame. The only potion listed I actually regret including is the CL 20 spell resistance, which was enough to make Karzoug fail 2-3 spell penetration checks (wish and imprisonment, at the very least). Even just CL 17 probably would have been fine.

Regarding Khalib: I believe this is just a pair of straight-up errors on my part. Firstly, wizards don't have ironskin on their spell lists - all the lamia matriarch spell lists I'd been putting together made me forget that. So his enhancement bonus to natural armor should be a mere +5, rather than +7. In addition, I believe I failed to update his natural armor after swapping him from the feat Scale and Skin (increasing his natural armor while under a transmutation by 2) to Defensive Combat Training (increasing his CMD by 9). For a kosher Khalib, you'll have to reduce his natural armor by 4, or reduce his natural armor by 2 and his CMD by 9. If you use Elephant in the Room rules, just reduce his natural armor by 2, as you won't need Power Attack. A Warden of Wind could always cast barkskin on him to get him back up to a +7 enhancement bonus if you want to keep the 43.

[Askar Avari]

... yeah please ignore the last sentence of that post, I have no idea what I was thinking. Barkskin caps at +5, which he already has. Khalib's AC is capping at 41.

Sihedron Ring Note :

Regarding Sihedron rings: Because Sihedron rings have virtually no function but protecting you from the occlusion field in a ABP game, modify their effect description to the text below:
“A Sihedron ring protects the wearer with a constant life bubble effect. At will, as a standard action, the wearer can use the Sihedron ring to change the appearance of their clothing or armor into any other kind of clothing or armor. The actual clothing and armor worn retain all their properties (including weight) when glamered. Only true seeing or similar magic reveals the true nature of the adornments.”

Yerra Description:

Yerra is a priestess of Divine Consumption and reports directly to Most High Ceopetra. Despite her high ranking, she’s drawn Ceopetra’s disfavor and been put in amongst soldiers with no true loyalty to the Most High or Karzoug as a buffer. She knows this and resents her station at Krak Naratha, viewing her station at the ruined fortress as 'time out.' While she would honorably die to defend Xin-Shalast, the soldiers will not report to her before making a decision about whether to let the PCs into town to avoid her displeasure. They are not charmed however, and may, under the right conditions, steer the PCs to assassinate Yerra. Despite her frustrations with the Most High, she will not entertain ideas of supporting the PCs.

If this is the case, knowledgeable NPCs elsewhere in the city may indicate that Voorgoor is a ‘co-ruler’ of Xin-Shalast who visits weekly. If Khalib is defeated here as Voorgoor, that can net your PCs an extra sihedron ring and ease the burden of reaching the Pinnacle of Avarice.

--------------------
Special Abilities
--------------------
Create Yellow Musk Zombie (Ex)As a full-round action, the Root of the Tangle can bore dozens of tendrils into the brain of a helpless creature within reach, such as a creature entranced by its pollen. This attack inflicts 1d6 points of Intelligence damage per round. When a creature is reduced to 0 Intelligence, it dies, and the tendrils break off inside its brain. One hour later, the creature animates as a yellow musk zombie.
Lush Vitality (Ex)The Root of the Tangle receives maximum hit points for each of its racial hit dice.
Pollen Burst (1/1d6 rounds, DC 26) (Ex)The Root of the Tangle may spray yellow musk pollen in a 60 foot cone once every 1d6 rounds. This functions as its usual Pollen Spray ability, but targets every creature in the area of effect. Furthermore, it can use its Create Yellow Musk Zombie ability on any creature within its reach. This is a poison effect. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Pollen Spray (DC 26) (Ex)As a standard action, the Root of the Tangle can spray a cloud of pollen at a single creature within 30 feet. It must make a +10 ranged touch attack to strike the target, who must then succeed on a DC 26 Will save or be entranced for 1d6 rounds. An entranced creature can take no action other than to move at its normal speed into a space within the yellow musk creeper’s reach, at which point an entranced creature remains motionless and allows the creeper to insert tendrils into its brain. This is a poison effect. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Whiplash (Ex)When the Root of the Tangle strikes an opponent with one of its tendrils, it may choose to perform an Awesome Blow combat maneuver as a free action.</div></div></p> </div>

[Askar Avari]

Awesome stuff Gnutten! It's awesome for me to see some of my ideas and characters put into a more useable format, and I think a number of these are just solid improvements over anything I made on top of fitting the format of Joey's guide better. I'm really looking forward to your take on the Pinnacle of Avarice!

I just want to make sure: was Father Diosenia here purposefully changed into an Advanced Hungerer, or was that a copy-paste error? I suspect the latter given I see a sihedron ring on their stat block, which on top of the creature type change suggests it's a totally different character.

[Gnutten]

Not a copy and paste error as such… but almost =)

My group just started the last chapter, and I pasted the Xin Shalast notes into the chat a in a little state of panic the day before the gaming session. I wanted to have it easily available in the chat if the group managed to reach the city.

I tried to make the different Lamia characters a little easier to manage by making them more uniform and were also struggling to match some stats on your sheet… and when I couldn’t locate any stats for Father Diosenia I just grabbed another Lamia-Kin of a reasonable level. Since all Lamias for far were women and I wasn’t sure what a male Lamia would look like the Hungerer were pasted into the list.

Then I realized I sort of liked the idea of a high priest of the Temple of Divine Consumption being just an obese maw of greedy hunger. It would also be fitting that when Most High Ceoptra left the temple to serve in Pinnacle of Avarice she didn’t want to let any of her scheming sisters to be in control but left the lesser male in charge.

[Askar Avari]

Ah, understood. If you or anyone else is looking for the stats/story on Father Diosenia, you can find it in the Book 6 Part 4 Google drive under 'High Priest Diosenia.' They're a fiendish lamia who has used a special demon mother's mask in order to be able to impregnate other lamia (and other creatures, as appropriate).

[kevin_video]

Guessing Father Diosenia isn't normally part of the adventure path and just a name that was added.

Guessing Father Diosenia isn't normally part of the adventure path and just a name that was added.

I added a large number of characters to Book 6 to flesh out various locations. Just from the ones I included for the guide: Warden of Song, Warden of Wind, and the major lamia Diosenia, Yerra, Yolanda, and Eerymis [Part 4]; Dear Grandmother (Baba Yaga) [Part 5]; Isis, Ceoptra's Attendant and Asuriel, the Heretic [Part 6]; Grand Polemarch Graithog, Greedplated Brass Golem, and the Dragonslayer Giants [Part 7].

Diosenia's definitely got the largest story implications if included, as they're a leader of Xin-Shalast's lamia aligned with Lamashtu but not with Karzoug. Mostly there for people who wanted to keep the Lamashtu through-line strong, and to provide a specific target for the Priestesses of Lamashtu's sending spells in Book 4. Elsewhere on the forums I've been an enthusiastic lore crafter for the lamia and fleshed them out greatly in my game, so it seemed worthwhile to clean up their stat blocks and share them. Notes on how to use them in your game are included within their PDFs.

If you're interested in my expanded lamia lore and my textual justifications for it, you can find that info in the Spires of Xin Shalast thread. It also gives a summary of all of the original lamia I added.

[Gnutten]

You could argue that some NPC:s needs to be added to Xin Shallast if you’re playing with a bigger group in order to get enough Sihedron Rings for the full party.

It also provides the great benefit that it adds more character (haha) to the areas in the city that are only briefly described. I hope I can make of the PC:s start engaging with the Skulks and try arranging a giant uprising in the town, plans that will for better or worse lead to Gyukak. To have additional named Giant of Lamia NPC:s opens up more characters to engage with. I also really like the prospect of playing around with the Root of the Tangle and perhaps tempt the PC:s to try to make deals with the world devouring creeper moss.

@Askar. OK feels rather silly that I missed the PDF named Hight Priest Diosenia when I was looking for Father Diosenia… Oopsie. Too bad you can’t edit older forum posts… but at the same time I still sort of like a named Hungerer though =).

** spoiler omitted **...

I am running this for 6 players and was directed here from Reddit ans I will say I appreciate the time that went into upscaling the challenges for the whole AP. While I we are done with Book 1 and almost done with Book 2, I wanted to get a better sense of how the adjusted encounters match up to the encounters as written to better understand Joey Virtue’s approach and application of the guide he links at the beginning. I’ll be honest that in many cases, it looks like through Book 1, his approach was mostly to ignore the comparative challenge after the first two Goblin encounters.

What I mean by this is there should, in theory, be a close match of the CRs in the guide to the original ones, increased to account for the increased players and how they increase the Effective Party Level. The EPL for a 4-person party of iconics (Fighter, Cleric, Wizard, Rogue) is equal to the Average Party Level. So four 1st level iconics equal APL & EPL 1. An Average Challenge for them should be a CR of equal value. When you add additional characters, their EPL increases, even though their APL should be the same as the 4-man band. So five 1st level characters would be EPL 2. So an average challenge for them would then be CR 2. I think six characters works out to be EPL 2.5 - 3. And of course gear lated on will play a factor. If the party is under geared for their level, they are -1 EPL and overgeared may increase the EPL.

Now, looking at the first couple encounters, Initial Assault is written to be a CR 1 encounter. Pretty average. And for six 1st level players, Joey adjusted it to CR 3. On point. CR = EPL for the larger group. Goblin Pyro follows suit. As written is is CR 2 and the adjusted one is CR 4. Die, Dog! die continues this. There isn’f a CR assigned, but the total xp works out to be between CR 3-4 and Joey’s revision mirrors at CR 5-6. But after this, things stay from the scaling adjustments. Some of this appears to account for not doing the side quests in Local Heroes. So the Boar Hunt is written to be CR 2, or a Challenging Encounter, but Joey’s works out to be a CR 6. As we move into the Glassworks, Guard cave is written as CR 2 and the party is expected fi be level 2 at this point, so an average challenge, but the upscale is CR 6. That’s a pretty big jump in the expected resource usage and they still have several rooms to go thru.

As we continue our comparison, next encounter is Washing Pool, written to be CR 2, adjusted to CR 5. This isn’t a glaring difference, but this should be an Average encounter and should be CR 4. From the Washing Pool, the characters head to Ancient Prison, originally written for CR 4, but upscaled to 7 continuing the trend of overcorrecting the encounter. Prisoner Pit should be CR 4, but the available xp sits it between CR 6-7. cathedral of Wrath is meant to be the mini boss and set for CR 5 and upscaled to also being between CR 6-7. At this point, Joey had the characters advanced ti Level 3, a bit ahead of the level outline where it says they should be early in their adventuring in Thistletop (unless if course you added several suggested side quests in Part 2.). I’d also note that it is expected that if the CR = your EPL, then the encounter should take about 25% of the party’s resources. Overcorrecting leads to running out of resources early and requires a return to town to rest and recover and may mean areas have an opportunity to replenish or communicate with the BBEG.

How does Thistletop compare? Sone areas were left alone and I will note these as “NC”. Also note, since the characters are now level 3 and treasure has been pretty good, their EPL is about 5.

Refugee Nest CR 4, up to CR 5.
Dog Kennel CR 5 up to CR 6.
Tangletooth NC.
Gogmurt's Lair CR 4 up to CR 6.
Rope Bridge NC.
Thistletop CR CR 5 up to CR 7
The Dragon Above, not in the original CR 6-7
Pickle Thieves NC
Barrack CR 3 up to CR 5
Eastern Guard Tower NC
Exercise Yard CR 5 up to CR 6
Caged Horse NC
Throne Room CR 6 up to CR 8
Treasury NC
Bunyip CR 3 up to CR 6
Chief’s Harem CR 4 up to CR 6
Otik’s Chamber NC
Tentamort’s Hunting Ground CR 4 up to CR 6
Chapel to Lamashtu CR 5 up to CR 7,
Research Room CR 3 to CR 6
Trapped Room NC
Here they Level to 4, but may not have had a chance to improve their gear yet. Also there is no good place to really rest unless they decide to head back to town. If the characters push on, they are probably running on fumes. I’d still be counting them as EPL 5 here.

Crypt CR 6 up to 7
Collapsed Treasury NC
Malfeshnekor’s Prison NC

Ok, we made it. Overall, Thistletop is pretty closely aligned to the initial challenges compared to EPL. I’d say the middle sections are pretty overtuned and that may lead to troubles early on and something to watch as the books continue. Hopefully the rambling helps someone.

Hey there faust, I can provide a little context and info here for you as I'm pretty familiar with this thread and the underlying math for PF1e

The Context:

1. Every increase in CR is an approximate 50% increase in XP gained per challenge/creature: CR 1s are worth 400xp and CR 2s are worth 600xp. Increases in party size follow the same scaling formula, with each PC being treated as a creature with CR = their level, so a level 1 PC is worth 400xp, and level 2 is worth 600xp, and so forth. As such, (6) level 1 PCs are 1 CR higher than (4) level 1 PCs, and thus their effective APL is APL + 1. You can find all of the info on how this scaling logic works in the original GM's Guide to Creating Challenging Encounters Joey linked back on page 1. This is also the explicit logic recommended by the Gamemastering page: 4 PCs use APL calculations, and 6 PCs use APL+1. We can use the underlying math to say that 5 PCs have an xp budget of 125% of what 4 PCs would have.

2. In his very first post, Joey mentions the following, and this guide really means it:

Joey Virtue wrote:

I am also a big believer in not wasting time with encounters the PCs will just walk through so most time I will make the minimum Encounter Level plus 1 on the charts from the PDF.

Every encounter will have a minimum CR of APL + 1, and encounters for 6 PCs will have a minimum CR of APL + 2. Joey's PCs were also ridiculously overstatted so you'll find a lot of these encounters further bumped up to CR +2/3 - lethal encounters are APL + 5 as a result instead of APL + 4.

For similar reasons, you'll find that encounters that happen in isolation (like the boar hunt) are even more inflated than the rest of these, as the party can reasonably blow whatever resources they feel like on them. For similar reasons, my encounters in Xin-Shalast (an APL 16 area) range from like CR 19-21.

3. Most of these AP dungeons, for better or worse, are constructed with the idea that the party will make multiple forays into them; that's why they have replenishment rates and different levels that fail to communicate with each other. Thus, the CR = APL = 25% of a party's resources guideline is only loosely useful for evaluating any given part of a book, even after the adjustments you're making if you follow along with this guide.

4. There are definitely parts of this thread with overtuned encounters, and if you read the thread you'll find some reporting on that. One of the most notable is the Shadow Clock trap, where the trap damage was drastically increased - to an unacceptable level if your PCs don't have crazy stats. Don't take any of these stat blocks without verifying them for your party first! These are ideas if you need to beef up a particular section more than they are a fully cohesive, balanced guide!

5. You'll find as you go deeper into the guide that Joey's stat blocks get into some even more high-power stuff with the intention of giving his PCs some boons to balance it out - I think mythic tiers were on the table? But when you get to Gnutten and my's versions if things you'll see we pull back a bit because we didn't go for quite that high-power of an adventure. (I had a large party with good stats, but not as good of stats and no special boons after the fact. I think Gnutten ended up in a similar spot but didn't use ABP like I did).

Overall, do use these stat blocks cautiously, and come talk to us on the Discord if you need any help tweaking things for your particular game, but I recommend a ton of the stat blocks and changes Joey suggests in this thread.

Is there a pdf or document of some form with all the notes for books 1-6?

There is not. I think it would be a fairly worthwhile project, as I believe this thread still sees some decent use and that would be easier to share, but as far as I'm aware, all three of its contributors (Joey, Gnutten, and myself) have moved on from Rise and don't have plans to create such a document.

i'm actually in the process of compiling all this into one document, only a third of the way through.

Plan is to complete it, but it's slow going, as and when I have time.

I will update progress and share over the next few weeks.

:D

[Gnutten]

My players are still messing about in Xin-Shalast… but will push forward rather soon.

I have almost finished my notes for Chapter 6 Part 5 Scaling Mhar Massif, Chapter 6 Part 6 Pinnacle of Avarice and Book 6 Part 7 Eye of Avarice.

So, I plan to do my next update in this thread rather soon.

Got somewhat mentally stuck in how to deal with the final encounter… it feels like a delicate balance that can easily fall in either too easy or uninspiring to utterly impossible.

At the same time… the group BUTCHERED Ghlorofaex in two turns… it was brutal.

But as I said… update incoming…

[Bellona]

I slapped a permanent dispel magic zone/wall on the arrival area in the Eye of Avarice. No buffed-to-the-gills party! :)

So as soon as they left that effect, they clustered together for some group buffing ... In perfect fireball formation! :D

[Gnutten]

A permanent dispel magic zone/wall on the arrival area in the Eye of Avarice?

That is SO fun and makes ABSOLUTE sense. =)

Karzoug is super smart and he knows that the entire group are armed with Dominant Transmutation Rune weapons. He knows that the entire group are immune to 3 transmutation spells each day, so why even prepare those spells?

OK definitely implementing the big dispel zone idea.

[Michael Brock]

Anyone have all of these stats in a Word doc or similar?

[Gnutten]

The document format I’m using when running the games is this forum thread. The option to hide and unhide the stats work better than keeping them in a word of pdf document. So sorry I don’t have a nice and clean word summary.

My players have just reached the Pinnacle of Avarice, so I think I need to put my notes into the forum now, even if it feels like I could have gone through them one more time.

Its still a revision from Askars notes, but I have adjusted it to fit my miniature collection. I also tried to vary the fights a little bit.

The fights and opposition get more complex but seeing how my players have plowed through the fight the recent fight I felt I needed to turn up the opposition slightly. When all the fight in the area gets nastier the risk is that it starts to act more like a painful grind, so let’s see how this plays out. Some of these encounters should be able to be negotiated through…

ok here we go:

Bard Abilities:

Countersong (Su):
A performance to counter magic effects that depend on sound. Makes a Perform skill check. Any creature within 30 feet of the bard that is affected by a sonic or language-dependent magical attack may use the bard’s Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled.

Dirge of Doom (Su):
Foster a sense of growing dread in his enemies, causing them to take become shaken. To be affected, an enemy must be within 30 feet and able to see and hear the bard’s performance. The effect persists for as long as the enemy is within 30 feet and the bard continues the performance.

Distraction (Su):
A performance to counter magic effects that depend on sight. Makes a Perform skill check. Any creature within 30 feet of the bard that is affected by an illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment) magical attack may use the bard’s Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled.

Fascinate [DC 23] (Su):
Performance to cause one or more creatures to become fascinated with him. Each creature to be fascinated must be within 90 feet. The Distraction of a nearby combat or other dangers prevents the ability from working. He can target five creatures with this ability. If its saving throw fails, the creature sits quietly and observes the performance for as long as the bard continues to maintain it. While fascinated, a target takes a –4 penalty on skill checks made as reactions, such as Perception checks. Any potential threat to the target allows the target to make a new saving throw against the effect. Any obvious threat, such as someone drawing a weapon, casting a spell, or aiming a weapon at the target, automatically breaks the effect.

Frightening tune [DC 23]
Frightening Tune (Sp): A performance to cause fear in his enemies. To be affected, an enemy must be able to hear the bard perform and be within 30 feet. If the save succeeds, the creature is immune to this ability for 24 hours. If the save fails, the target becomes frightened and flees for as long as the target can hear the bard’s performance.
Inspire competence +5 (Su):
A performance to help an ally succeed at a task. The ally must be within 30 feet and able to see and hear the bard. The ally gets a +5 competence bonus on skill checks with a particular skill as long as she continues to hear the bard’s performance.

Inspire courage +3 (Su):
A performance to inspire courage in himself and his allies. An affected ally receives a +3 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +3 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls.

Inspire greatness (Su):
A performance to inspire greatness in himself or a single willing ally within 30 feet, granting extra fighting capability. Three targets gains 2 bonus Hit Dice (d10s), a +2 competence bonus on attack rolls, and a +1 competence bonus on Fortitude saves.

Inspire heroics (Su):
Inspire tremendous heroism in himself or a single ally within 30 feet. Inspired creatures gain a +4 morale bonus on saving throws and a +4 dodge bonus to AC.

Soothing performance (Su):
A to create an effect equivalent to the mass cure serious wounds, using the bard’s level as the caster level. In addition, this performance removes the fatigued, sickened, and shaken condition from all those affected. Using this ability requires 4 rounds of continuous performance.

Suggestion [DC 23] (Sp):
A performance to make a suggestion (as per the spell) to a single creature that he has already fascinated (see above). Using this ability does not disrupt the fascinate effect, but it does require a standard action to activate (in addition to the free action to continue the fascinate effect). A bard can use this ability more than once against an individual creature during an individual performance.

Note: Ayrizi The Ever-Watcher is a Planetar of Sarenrae. She tries to fight the binding spell that holds her by sending whispers to faithful ch
aracters guiding them to this place. She will act as a Divine Intervention in the final fight if needed.

Ayruzi released:

“I am finally released from my bounds. Greetings, dear mortals. Although the task before you is almost impossible, I am here to offer my assistance. Karzoug the Claimer has hidden himself in the eternal voids, a place even the gods cannot locate. I can sense his foul influence here, indicating that his emergence is imminent. However, we must strike him down before he regains access to Golarion. Unfortunately, it is impossible for me to reach him directly. But you, bound by a destiny beyond this world, may hold the key we need. Allow me to mark your souls, so that if you find yourselves in the eternal voids, I might be able to locate you. Together, we can vanquish this threat and safeguard our world.”

The angel gently places her fingers upon your forehead, and a comforting warmth spreads from her touch. You feel a soothing glow encompassing you, filling you with a sense of divine protection.

Book 6 Part 7

The Final Battle
● 4 PCs - Karzoug, 2 Warden of Thunder, 1 Warden of Runes, 1 Old Blue Dragon
● 5 PCs - Karzoug, 2 Warden of Thunder, 1 Warden of Runes, 1 Old Blue Dragon, 1 Huge Gold Golems
● 6 PCs - Karzoug, 2 Warden of Thunder, 1 Warden of Runes, 1 Old Blue Dragon, 2 Huge Gold Golems

Karzoug Note: If feels natural to make Karzoug a Mythical Arcanist, although that skyrockets his CR up to the stratosphere. It for sure gives him several more fun spell options, but at the same time it doesn’t feels like he gets into impossible levels of resistance. He already had a good access to level 9 spells so his ability to kill off entire groups stays “somewhat” the same. Choose Mythic Karzoug or Normal Karzoug stats after our liking.

Map Note: Double the size of the map, 1 square = 10 feet.

Artifact Note: A dominant weapon must be used to smash the soul lens. The soul lens has hardness 20 (this hardness cannot be bypassed) and 200 hit points (4PCs) 250 hit points (5PCs) 300 hit points (6 PCs) , but the dominant weapon gains the full benefits of its bane special abilities when damaging the soul lens. The soul lens takes no damage from other attacks.

Placement: Karzoug always begins in this throne with the Blue Dragon beside him. Wardens of Thunder should be placed opposite of each other on the elevated platforms (Y2). Gold Golems should always begin part-way up the staircases leading from the entry platform (Y1) to Karzoug’s throne (Y4). Wardens of Runes should always begin east of the Runewell (Y3) and west of Y4.

When the TPK happens – IF they rescued Ayruzi:

If you ever find yourself lost in the void, a place devoid of all existence, not even death can claim you. It's as if you are trapped in a state of eternal nothingness. There is no concept of time, no darkness, and no pain, yet a lingering feeling of loss permeates the air. Karzoug, the cause of your defeat, has left a bitter taste even in this non-existence.
After what feels like an eternity of emptiness, a faint glimmer of light catches your attention. From within the void, you hear the voice of the planetar Ayruzi calling out to you.

"Ah, there you are! I have found you, lost so far within this nothingness. Let's see if I can mend your shattered souls... I must try."
Slowly, you begin to open your eyes, finding yourself lying amidst the ashes of your defeat. Karzoug, unaware of your revival, is caught up in commanding the giants to prepare the gate back to Golatrion. His attention momentarily diverted from your lifeless bodies.

It is Ayruzi's whispered words in your ears that jolt you into action.
"Kill him!"

Karzoug Actions First Turns:

Spells already in place: Foresight, Mind Blank, Greater Arcane Sight

Turn 1: Clashing rocks + Quickend Timestop (using wand)
(Timestop 1: fiery body + quickened protection from elements; spell turning + quickened echolocation; deflection + quickened haste)

Turn 2: Wail of the Banshee + quickened time stop
(Timestop 2: ; prismatic wall + quickened shield; wall of suppression + quickened dimension door; repulsion)

Turn 3: Temporal Regression OR Mass reduce person + quickened slow

Turn 4: Wish OR quickened slow, quickened slow, maze

Turn 5+: Good luck :)
