Another weekend, more #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav to share. From 05 October as we played on Monday again.
The shaman 5 player missed the session. The cleric 6, the eldritch scoundrel rogue 6, and the corpse hunter ranger 5 went into the haunted manor searching for the obour.
They encountered a building-spanning haunt (CR 9). They were able to neutralize it and ask it questions, but not without losing some sanity first.
Ranger hit level 6.
So #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav last night (09/28):
The mixed level 6 and level 5 party, aware of the creature in advance, moved to deal with the CR 7 #mythic dread #vukodlak that they avoided the previous session.
I thought the vukodlak was under-CRed at CR 7 but the party took it out without taking any damage. Of course they knew it was there and they came prepared.
The hardest part of the fight for them was attacking through their own spells.
We had nearly back-to-back #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav sessions on Thursday (09/10) and Saturday (09/12).
On Thurs, the level 5 party fought a (CR 7) zombie road encounter.
Saturday, the level 5 party inquired with a local village elder about a haunting, then went to the site and retreated from a (CR 7) #mythic dread #vukodlak encounter without entering combat.
A wise choice. Either that vukodlak is under-CRed or the zombies were over-CRed.
I'm making a resetting Symbol of Exsanguination #Trap for my #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav game.
I haven't decided on what action activates the trap.
A Symbol of Exsanguination has the same triggering condition options as a Symbol of Death, which is one or more of:
look at | read | touch | pass over | pass through a portal bearing
...the rune
It can be multiple. I'm thinking "read," "touch," and "pass over" as the activators.

My #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav player wants his PC to have two personalities with switching triggered by using Change Shape as a witchwolf (werewolf-kin).
I tweaked a variant of the Dissociated Identity condition from Horror Adventures to represent his character's identity switching and sent the draft ~6 hours ago. He hasn't responded yet, but I also don't think he's seen it yet.
I want his feedback and I'm impatient!
The latest #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav game session wrapped two hours ago.
This was the first session with the new party assembled:
In order of seniority:
Daniel - human cleric of Pharasma
Pollix - #dhampir eldritch scoundrel rogue
Wulfric - #witchwolf life shaman
Sasha - #duskwalker corpse hunter ranger
The party gathered and prepared to hunt an #obour, a #vampire spirit that appeared in #Wayfinder fanzine.
They saw #ghoul ravens near sundown.
I posted recruitment for my in-person #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav game on #Facebook, #Nextdoor, and here last Sunday.
I got zero takers on FB and Masto, but I got two interested players on Nextdoor.
We try to play every two weeks but we're going back-to-back with last week. One of the new players is joining today. The other plans to join on the 25th, as she wants to be ready to essentially drop in the game, character ready to play.
Vampires! Werewolves?! A legion of flaming skeletons?!
Seeking players for Pathfinder1e game in #Ustalav!
Any available Pathfinder1e players in the Charleston, WV interested in joining an in-person game?
We play on Saturday nights, usually every two weeks. I've got two players presently, having just lost our third player. Looking for up to three more.
Any West Virginians out there?

The player who can't make it to today's #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav session is dropping out. They have a lot going on right now. I just spent the last few hours chatting with the player on FB Messenger. They're interested in playing in the future if their situation changes, but for now their PC is being sidelined in an off-screen plot. They said they'd needed to drop for awhile, but been sticking around while I hunt for more players.
OK, looks like I am having #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav session today (04 July), as scheduled. One of my three players can't make it, but one of the others really wants to play, and the host is available, so we're going to play.
Every remaining Saturday this month, at least one player cannot make it, except next Saturday (11 July), so it looks like we're playing next Saturday too. Hopefully nobody drops out of next Saturday.

#P1e #Ustalav
I'm working on a new fire #skeleton NPC. The party is tasked with destroying fire skeleton champions that are lieutenants for a lord of fire skeletons.
So far they've destroyed four, three of whom were archers (2 warriors, 1 fighter) and one was a necromancer.
The new one is a fire skeleton with the slayer class and a stealth focus. (These fire skelly champions can suppress their fire auras so he can sneak.)
I just got home from my #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav game. Our scheduled session is 8 PM to 12 AM but we ran to about 2:30 AM because the party wanted to finish the multi-session Battle for Sen's Pass.
It concluded in Round 6. We played rounds 3 through 6 (four rounds) this session.
The allied coalition destroyed all the fire #skeletons and ash #wights, including the two skelly champions that tried to flee near the end of the battle.
The player of the cleric in my #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav game recently uploaded the pictures of the battle at the end of last session to our group chat. The session ended mid-combat so these will be used to set-up the board next time.
I confirmed with him that it was OK to share them here.

Since Ginny Di and Pointy Hat declared it Fey Week for DungeonTubers on YouTube, I've been thinking about #Fey a lot this week.
I wrote an ability I want to give all creatures of the Fey type in my #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav campaign. It's an at-will #illusion (phantasm) that gives fey +20 Stealth to hide in plain sight as inanimate objects. They can't move or attack but can still talk, Will Save to disbelieve and it is automatically disbelieved by anyone within 15 feet.
The #P1e #Ustalav 28 March session was rescheduled this evening, 04 April.
Combat progressed through round 2.
The skelly necro hit the cleric with boneshaker. The rogue hit the skelly necro with a lightning bolt scroll. The bloodrager smashed a mythic fire #skeleton to bits.
A #dhampir NPC released three #vampires (spawn) from a canister into the fight.
The ash #wight crit-fumbled and dealt 8 damage to itself.
#Pathfinder1e #PathfinderRPG #TTRPG #PFRPG #DnD #Skeletons #Wights
My #P1e #Ustalav game ran on 07 and 14 March.
(Next is 28 March.)
Last session the party started battle with the #undead at sunset. They accepted aid from a #dhampir sent by the #vampires.
We didn't finish round one. At session close, the #skeleton necro cast #fireball (7d6, Ref half DC 16) on the party position, and the #dretch #demon riding our bloodrager ended his possession to flee to the #undead side.

My #P1e #Ustalav host player has notified our group that he's unavailable to host on 21 March, so our group is planning instead for back-to-back Saturdays on 07 March and 14 March.
I've been prepping for a big clash between the party and some burning #skeletons and allied ash #wights for a few weeks, a large combat encounter expected to span multiple sessions. It looks like that shindig might start on the 7th.

Let's see, let's see... #P1e #Ustalav this past Saturday, 21 Feb...
We started late, the party finished leveling to 5, they talked to the Guard Captain about the pending fire #skeleton confrontation, shopped with the magic merchant, including upgrading equipment and paying to copy spells from his spellbook, and the party cleric bought the holy water the town priest had, as well as pre-paid for more and invited the priest to the fight.
This week I prepped three #ReaperMiniatures for my #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav session on 21 February.
I painted three zombies but one is a pirate #zombie with a sword (#14428). I painted him as a gray-skinned ash wight (variant cairn #wight). His sculpt resembles a skeleton with withered skin over his bones, dressed as a sailor. The others (#03601) look decrepit and wear rags.

We've had a long delay in our #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav campaign but we're resuming soon.
I've been thinking about the planned encounter with the fire #skeleton army representatives. I have the monster side of the fight worked out now (at EL/CR 10 total). I just need to select and/or create some additional NPCs for the human side of the encounter. The local #vampires also oppose the skeleton army, so will they aid the humans? Maybe in a token way.
I'm thinking about my next #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav session.
The party sent missives to four nearby thorps and/or hamlets to recruit people to stand with them against the fire #skeleton champions and their allied #wights. The #skeletons agreed to meet at sundown to collect tribute from the local village.
I'm trying to decide how many NPCs would respond to the request for aid. Also, should the village #vampire faction lend aid?
In #P1e #Ustalav session of 17 January:
Party, NPC body in tow, encountered 3 fire #skeletons and a #wight on road between the village and the inn. #Skeleton requested parley.
Skelly said they already suffered a loss so it would grant a reprieve from demands of tribute until after the new moon (two days). Party disingenuously agreed to meet at sundown in 3 days to pay tribute.
Party had NPC resurrected by a secret high level witch.
I updated the #HouseRules for my #P1e #Ustalav campaign to add Cure Deadly Wounds and Inflict Deadly Wounds to the witch spell list as level 6 spells.
Witch class normally doesn't have Breath of Life spell (Cure Deadly Wounds is a renamed Breath of Life spell) on their spell list but they do have all the normal Cure and Inflict spells, and Raise Dead. Adding Cure/Inflict Deadly so they have the full set.
So they're getting a small boost.
So #P1e #Ustalav session on 10 January:
Party beat two #ghasts and freed an elven woman trapped in an iron maiden in the #ghoul warren. She was the presumed-dead fiancee of the PC rogue. They left the warren and questioned her. That led to suspicion she was undead passing as alive. (She was.) She tried to flee and was prevented, then destroyed. She did not at any point attack them or lie to them.
Tragic session.

We missed our last two fortnightly #P1e #Ustalav games (20 Dec and 03 Jan) so my group have scheduled back-to-back weekends on 10 and 17 January to get back into the swing of things.
The party are still deep in a #ghoul warren. I'm hoping to introduce two NPCs this coming session (in the warren), both of whom have been name-dropped in the past. One may not make it through the session in one piece, but we'll see how that goes.
In regards to my #P1e #Ustalav campaign, it took me a bit more than month, but I did "fancy-up" my #ghoul warren map today so it's more readable. I basically colored in all the wall areas with black ink so it's easier to differentiate tunnels from the space between tunnels. In hindsight I should have used thinned black paint, as the ink I used was drying very fast, but hindsight is 20/20, and it looks a lot better than it did.
I had a #P1e #Ustalav session scheduled for today (20 December) but it was canceled yesterday evening. These things happen around the holidays so it is what it is.
The campaign is delayed until 03 January now. The party are deep in a ghoul warren. They're facing off with a pair of ghasts. Someone is yelling to be released from a stone sarcophagus in the chamber. They're avoiding a golem in another chamber.

OK, so I'm back on my #P1e #Ustalav train. Next scheduled session is Saturday (06 Dec).
Last session had the party fighting through my hand-drawn #ghoul warren under the graveyard.
I've since made a stat block for the ghoul bat swarm. Last time I winged it (pun intended) with a ghoul raven swarm stat block. Ghoul bat swarm is a little weaker.
Next I want to fancy-up my warren map a bit so it is easier on the eyes.
#Pathfinder1e #PathfinderRPG #PFRPG #TTRPG #ghoul #ghouls #dungeon
I have another scheduled #P1e #Ustalav game tomorrow, Saturday (14 Nov).
Last session the party fought ghouls in a small crypt. They crispied one ghoul with burning hands as it fled down a narrow escape tunnel hidden under a sarcophagus.
The cleric PC said they would explore that escape tunnel next session.
!!! I did not have that tunnel prepared !!!
I do now.
Ghoul warrens here we come.
I should make loot.
