Dear Players,
Session in general.
A fun game to run tonight, despite the dice roll for the only combat not being really in my favour. Oh well, having two PCs with adamantine weapons reduced what could have been a decent fight to another walk in the park.
This is the problem with slightly high level adventures, mid-level BBEGs can go down quickly given the right combination of spells, abilities or tactics. Ordikan could have been nails with his stoneskin and sky-high resist energy couple with his mirror image and shield (to nix magic missiles)!
The Iron Cages of Lust.
Needless to say that this is my favourite mini-dungeon. The Alu-Demons have relatively easy saves DC, so I got lucky to get Telas under suggestion. Too bad the "little-girl" story did not catch-up due to an abysmal bluff roll on my part.
More disturbing things to come with the mother of the Alu Demons.
As mentioned, there is still a possibility of the encounter being only about role-playing. Lust is opposed to Greed, so if you play your cards right and some of your PCs agree to some debauchery (I will work out a random table on the fly), it is indeed possible to nail all the XP without risking level drain and potentially empty husks.
Paizo signature adventure.
The name is Hollow's Last Hope. I thoroughly recommend this adventure, it has a bit of everything at low-level (LV1 to LV2), a bit of wilderness, a bit of undead, a decent dungeon and the possibility to link seamlessly with Crown of the Kobold King (LV1-LV4) which is another classic. True these adventures are 3.5 but extremely easy to adapt on the fly.
See you next week for LoF and in two weeks time for the rest of the Rise of the Runelords adventure in the Iron Cages of Lust. There should be a cameo appearance of someone who has been in the news lately.
