Stop That Carrion

We did it. At long last we finished a campaign.

After almost two years the finale of Carrion Crown was a bit of an anti-climax as instead of the party fighting the big villain in a dramatic set piece battle atop his evil tower, my necromancer magic jarred him from a distance and had him fling himself over the edge.

Still, at least we got cake.


Pictured is our special celebratory Carrion Cake -- dark chocolate and strawberry with an icing sugar crowned skull motif -- and the victorious sort-of-heroes. From left to right: Tarion, the half-elf ranger/thief; Sir Erodel, the paladin/sorcerer/dragon; Norman, Nicodemus' butler and musketeer; Erodel's cleric henchman, not given a name because of church bureaucracy; Nicodemus Eldritch, monster hunter and necromancer; Veniticus, beefy cleric of Abadar; and 12939, Nicodemus' alchemical golem.

It would be sensible -- after staggering our way to the end of a long campaign -- to have a bit of a breather and play some shorter games, to cleanse the palate as it were.


It would appear that we're not sensible.

  3. limping over the finish line....but we got there in the end.

    lots of good things to think about before running any PF in the future......as in - if I ever run/ am allowed to run an Adventure Path - that I really need to make sure themes, key npcs, and design flaws are ironed out from the start.... Certainly the new AP - the mythic one - is far better designed so far.... it seems Paizo are learning as they go.... but some of the encounter designs were so weak/ strange....esp for high level play.... Glad to pass the responsibility of running games to El Kel to give me time to chew things over and chill out! :)
