Pathfinder Module: Carrion Hill

Pathfinder Modules

Ia! Yog-Sothoth!

The strange city of Carrion Hill has long loomed over the surrounding swamps in eastern Ustalav, yet its rulers have shifted many times through the centuries. Often enough that only a few sinister scholars and curious minds know the true nature of the hill's original inhabitants—vile and depraved cultists of the Old Gods. Yet this morning, a dreadful recrudescence rises from the depths of buried nightmare in the vaults below Carrion Hill. A monster stalks the twisted alleys of the city, spreading panic before it and leaving destruction in its wake. Can the Carrion Hill Horror be stopped?

Carrion Hill is an adventure for 5th-level characters, written for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and compatible with the 3.5 edition of the world's oldest RPG. The adventure features a mix of urban and dungeon sites, and draws its inspiration from the popular writings of H.P. Lovecraft.

This adventure is set in the sinister country of Ustalav in the Pathfinder Chronicles campaign setting, but can easily be adapted for any game world.

Coupled with the sanity and corruption rules from Horror Adventures, you've got yourself a nifty little mythos one shot herel. It can really shine when dropped into an existing campaign, though. By making the members of the cult all NPCs that the party has become familiar with, and by throwing the sanitarium into the group's existing base of locations, you can add a big dash of cosmic horror into your ongoing campaign.

Interesting homage to HP Lovecraft.
