Carrion Crown #6
Pathfinder Adventure Path #48: Shadows of Gallowspire
The End of All Things
A mad plot to unleash the greatest necromancer the world has ever known draws to its sinister end. As the murderous cultists of the Whispering Way retreat to their profane sanctuary, the powers of death align to resurrect their fallen champion. Bold adventurers pursue these villains, but can their bravery survive the haunted wasteland of Virlych, the accursed cathedral of Renchurch, and ultimately the towering crypt of Gallowspire? And will their boldness be enough to stop the Whispering Tyrant, the infamous lich-king locked away beneath Ustalav’s deadliest ruin, from being reborn upon a defenseless world? The heroes must test their courage against the servants of death itself in this, the climactic final chapter of the Carrion Crown Adventure Path.

- “Shadows of Gallowspire,” a Pathfinder RPG adventure for 13th-level characters, by Brandon Hodge.

About the author
Brandon Hodge
29 books6 followersBy day, Brandon Hodge owns and operates Monkey See, Monkey Do! toy store and the world-famous Big Top Candy Shop in Austin, Texas. When night arrives, he retrieves his pen and puts nightmares to paper as a freelance writer and historian specializing in the esoteric and occult. Brandon's award-winning writing and game design credits include works from Kobold Press and Paizo Publishing. He is author of the critically-acclaimed adventures From Shore to Sea, Feast of Ravenmoor, Rasputin Must Die!, and The House on Hook Street, and served as Creative Consultant on Paizo's Occult Adventures rulebook.
The demented twists he brings to the gaming industry can perhaps best be explained with his extracurricular hobbies: when he isn't writing, he brings curses home with him collecting ouija boards, haunted antiques, planchettes, and other Spiritualist-related items, and displays his world-class planchette collection on his website, www.mysteriousplanchette.com. Brandon’s research on Spiritualism history has appeared in the pages of the Smithsonian Magazine, and his popular Ghosts in the Machines column appears every quarter in the pages of Paranormal Review, the Magazine for the Society for Psychical Research.
Brandon is a respected lecturer in the occult history field, and has loaned his expertise as on-air talent for dozens of popular radio and television programs, including a segment featuring his séance artifact collection on Science Channel’s hit show Oddities. Brandon also appeared on Travel Channel's Ouija-related "Patience Worth" episode of Mysteries at the Museum. In addition, he makes frequent guest appearances in both print interviews and popular radio shows, and has contributed artifacts to a number of museum exhibits, including the Let the Spirit Move You exhibit at the Baltimore Museum of Industry, the MIA's Supernatural America exhibit, and the Peabody Museum's Conjuring the Spirit World exhibition.
Brandon is currently working on a picturesque coffee-table book on the subject of spirit communication devices from their early beginnings to their modern equivalents. Titled "Talking Tables & Scribbling Spirits: A Complete History of Spirit Communication Tools," the book is slated for publication in the near future, and includes the most in-depth historical research ever performed on talking boards.
Brandon lives in the historic Hyde Park neighborhood in Austin, Texas, with two imps disguised as children, Jack and Elliot, and their innumerable pet ghosts.

The final adventure basically consists of two high-level dungeons with a multitude of interesting enemies, plus some plot hooks to extend the campaign further on GM's deiscretion.
