Hello My Friends
SPOILERS LURKING
Finished the first module of the Carrion Crown, Haunting of Harrowstone on Saturday. We were one person short due to family emergency and against the feared Splatter Man, our LG Synthesis Summoner Ananti, was the victim of 2 magic missile volleys from a level 8 wizard/Ghost followed up by 4 successful Corrupting touches 6d6 each. With two clerics in the group it was a sturggle to keep him alive in this epic combat. Our brave yet foolhardy monk, Quick like a Tree, failed his acrobatics to avoid and opportunity attack from the Splatter Man and was knocked unconscious with one strike of the Corrupting Touch. Huntress brought the pain and Seska and Olin were valiant and attentive in their support roles.
After Splatter Man, they ran into the Lopper, who couldn't quit get going with the clerics stopping his bleed effects. His bleed effects healing him and with his incorporeal nature make him worth the CR 5. The fight went quickly.
Had to break for a short while to let the dogs outside.
Finally the Mosswater Marauder was not even a bump in the steaming rolling vengeance of the party. Having cleared the haunts and the party was able to continue to finish the remainder of the time helping Kendra finish tending to business before their anticipated journey to Liepstadt to deliver the Professor's book collection.

Opinion
This module well deserves the awards and acclaim it has received. I am a veteran GM of modules and scenario games, and this was definitely a good one and recommend it to everyone. It makes good use of the haunt system introduced in the Game Master's guide and the over all vibe the party gave was of intense interest in several of the mysteries and the eerie presence invoked by the module. We have a Google Group we use to communicate in between games since we only play every other week and it blows up after each game session with inter-party discussions and debates every GM dreams of seeing.
Other News
This October 8th, I am not going to be participating in PFS, not leaving it or quitting it just wanting to add more flavor and options to Game Day. So therefore, I am starting to run Shadowrun Missions. I have also scheduled to run Shadowrun's Convention Only missions at Neoncon. I will be running 2 table of SRM (Shadowrun Missions) and two tables of PFS. Also at Neoncon I will be competing in the Iron GM tournament in an attempt to get to GenCon. Well that's not the only, the rest to to inflate my ego :) I do hope to get a chance to check out my friend JPs NeoExodus and recommend all me readers to as well.
