Posts: 516 Jul 7 09 9:38 AM Wraith Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Tags : None Spoilers... I ran WA as a prequel to Coils of Set last Sunday, in the Pathfinder Beta. Every time I've run WA, it's been with a small, fairly inexperienced party, so I've used an easier WA. With Pathfinder, I just used the 3.5e stats for most creatures, but statted out a new version of Vortigern (below). Pathfinder is a big powerup, and the players kicked some ass: Vortigern barely escaped with his life, and they nearly got Talon, too. There's a longer description in the Spoils of Set story thread. Spoiler [+] The only combat encouter I ran prior to the ambush was 4 Small monstrous centipedes at a treefall across the road. The group finished them off quickly and easily, with the rogue only taking two points of Dex damage. With a night to rest before the ambush, that was no problem. The ambush was five skeletons, two goblins, Vortigern, and the imp; all were 3.5e monsters except Vortigern. I used Talon as Vortigern's henchman rather than his familiar proper. Turning seems like it's a lot more powerful in Pathfinder; a 1st-level cleric could destroy skeletons with a lucky roll. I'd definitely use all zombies next time. EDIT To add spoiler tags.

Vortigern has way more firepower, but he only got three spells off before the party cut their way through to him. He doesn't have an arcane bond; that's missing from this stat block.

It's amazing how many times I have run this scenario and it still stands the test of time as one of my favourites. DMing Pathfinder these days. I'm not asking for characters to be lawful stupid. I want characters who care, who want to be heroes, aren't scared of doing the right thing, and players who try to help make the campaign more heroic. Remember, the DM is just as important as the players. Players don't always come first.
