Session 44-45 - (Aside with 5 half-elves and 2 dwarves)
In attendance (a bunch of names I don't remember):
Halfelf Ftr4/Rog3 - elven curveblade guy (a real melee killer)
Halfelf Ftr1/Wiz5/EK1 - Armoured wizard guy (mage hand, buffs and touch spells)
Halfelf Wiz7 - Conjurer and controller wizard
Halfelf Dru7 - Brother of elven curveblade guy, Weather domain
Dwarf Clr7 - Caiden Cailean - Basic cleric, mixed spells and melee, Travel and ??? domains
Dwarf Mnk7 - Weakly built monk who can't hit much (fell into the classic monk trap of high wis/dex/con, low str)
Halfelf Ftr4/Rog3 - TWF guy (soft in melee)
Exploration continued in the Sanos Forest. The guys seem to be having fun with these secondary characters - I didn't update for last session but I'll catch up now...
The party pushed through the forest, finding the Elven keep. There, they got into more fey-themed fun, fighting the quickling and others there. It was a pretty fun set piece and everyone had a good time, except the Druid, who was killed trying to save his not quite trained grizzly bear, isolating himself from the group and getting murdered by the quickling, one nibble at a time. They dragged his corpse back to the temple of Erastil and immersed him in the pool, which reincarnated him back as a human. At this point, I bumped them up to 8th level.
Next session, they pushed ahead and ran into more fey and forest troubles. They were attacked by a party of worgs and pixies, which was kinda fun. It took them a long time to figure out that there were pixies at all, and it turns out that a group of half elves and dwarves is very well equipped to fight malevolent fey. Anyway, the worgs were killed and the pixies driven off and the party pushed on to a copse where they bumped into a pair of Hangman Trees (CR 7 x 2). It turns out that these trees are crazy difficult and the fight was almost a TPK despite being equal to APL and having a slightly staggered start to the fight (I started tree #2 some distance away).
Anyway, curveblade guy was eaten and barely managed to escape and the Druid charged into the middle and was promptly smacked around by the trees and grappled. He burned a hero point to not die, was healed to consciousness and attacked, leaving himself still grappled, then died and was eaten thereafter. The wizard helped things by Greasing curveblade guy and the cleric buffed himself a bunch and between the pair, summoned monsters and the two wizards' ministrations, the trees died. These trees were in the place of the Scythe Tree from KM2 so they were soon thereafter contacted by a satyr whose dryad friend wanted to thank them for cleansing the forest of the evil trees. She reincarnated the Druid a second time (this time into a goblin) and gave up some other treasures.
At this point, we had largely explored the Sanos encounters, leaving just the mountain and Ashwood stuff I had left and I expected the group to be ready to return to the main group. To my surprise, they told me they wanted to stick with it and finish the map so we're going to continue this aside for a couple more sessions before getting back to the Runelords plot.

Session 46-47 - (Aside with 5 half-elves and 2 dwarves)
In attendance (a bunch of names I don't remember):
Halfelf Ftr4/Rog3 - elven curveblade guy (a real melee killer)
Halfelf Ftr1/Wiz5/EK1 - Armoured wizard guy (mage hand, buffs and touch spells)
Halfelf Wiz7 - Conjurer and controller wizard
Halfelf Dru7 - Brother of elven curveblade guy, Weather domain
Halfelf Ftr4/Rog3 - TWF guy (soft in melee) (missed 1st session)
Dwarf Clr7 - Caiden Cailean - Basic cleric, mixed spells and melee, Travel and ??? domains
Dwarf Mnk7 - Weakly built monk who can't hit much (fell into the classic monk trap of high wis/dex/con, low str)
Session 46:
PCs found and slew a Naga in the swamp (the serpentine woman who was controlling the boggard king that the main PC group crossed paths with), explored the Ashwood where they fought a couple of green dragons, defused a dispute between a nixie and some loggers, and then tracked a cantankerous owlbear back to his rather extensive lair.
We left off with the PCs running with their tails tucked away from owlbear city after things went from super easy violet fungus and big spiders to not so easy shambling mound, to Jesus, that's a big owlbear, let's get out of here!!!
Session 47:
Finished the fight with the owlbear tonight and summarized the rest of their pacification (a bunch of encounters with empty giant lairs in the Iron and Wyvern Peaks). Backup PC group levelled to L9.
Then, we returned to a short session with the main group. After a long rest for crafting (using up all of their allotted safe not going to be attacked by giants and they knew this because of Divination time). They headed back to the Storval Step to clean it out of giants once more. This time, it was massed by a pair of Stone giants and a Taiga giant to mix things up.
We ended after a PC interrogation of one of the Stone giants who revealed that Mokmurian had left the Fortress to an unknown location (answer - it's Sandpoint, and thence to Runeforge) and suggesting ways to get in (either the passages through the river cliff, or by flying over the walls to bypass the guards).
I'm trying to set up a quick blast through Jorgenfist so they can learn that they missed their target by a number of weeks and set up the chase through the cosmos after Mokmurian as the doomsday clock ticks along.
Everyone in the main group is either 12th level or really close now so FotSG should be relatively simple for them and they are really ready for SotS, which will start soon with a slightly different beginning.
|Greycloak of Bowness
Session 48 - Speaking with dragons
In attendance:
Jerrick - Shoanti bow hunter cleric of Erastil with a horse companion (High Priest)
Vor - Halforc bow ranger, former Black Arrow with a large wolf companion (Forest Warden)
Grisly - Dwarven switch-hitting barbarian (War Chief)
Wyndham - Human rogue/shadowdancer with a nasty streak and a shadow-companion(Lord of Whispers)
Mark - Human blaster-evoker (Magister)
Arcainen - Human water bloodline sorcerer, focused on rays (High Chancellor)
Richard - Extreme AC sword and board fighter (General)
We had a bit of a break for Christmas and one session of PFS play (I ran the first Shipyard Rats adventure because we had a small group and I didn't want to have the bulk of the group miss out on the first assault on Jorgenfist). Just played tonight and resumed where we left off.
They surveyed the valley with windwalk and had some lengthy discussions and eventually decided to go after Longtooth first (for treasure-seeking reasons, mostly). They drew up detailed battle plans that I wiped out after a couple rounds when Longtooth suggested that the two groups talk, him offering information in exchange for peace.
The party agreed and they had a long talk with the dragon (me voicing him almost like Bane from Dark Knight - Slow and lurching cadence, back of the throat low voice, ponderous speaker), where he spilled the beans on Mokmurian's destination (that he's seeking Runeforge) and his means of getting there (he is searching for an ancient Thassalonian Prison that contains the key to reach Runeforge). He also fleshed out a bit more of the plot (who the Thassalonians were, a bit about their empire, as well as talking a bit about Mokmurian's powers), and mentioned that there is a library beneath Jorgenfist that should provide the clues they need to find Mokmurian (who left the citadel a couple weeks before).
Happy enough, the group left and decided to wind walk over to the river-cave entrance, fought the wyverns and then the deathweb spiders, killing both groups quickly with chain lightning (and high AC and bad GM-rolling) and blade barrier (4 failed saves) respectively before wind-walking past the redcaps in the narrow tunnels and materializing not far from the kobold barbarian.
They popped into her room, found her to be surprisingly hardy, though still not too much of a threat until the end when she suicided by blowing up her necklace of fireballs and everyone's eyes opened really wide.
I rolled 126 damage or something like that but between evasion and the layers of fire protection spells the party had running from their planned fight with the dragon, they managed to escape totally without damage. They decided to press on through the Jorgenfist catacombs, where we will go next time.
|Greycloak of Bowness
Session 49 - Dragons and Lamia oh my!
In attendance:
Jerrick - Shoanti bow hunter cleric of Erastil with a horse companion (High Priest)
Vor - Halforc bow ranger, former Black Arrow with a large wolf companion (Forest Warden)
Grisly - Dwarven switch-hitting barbarian (War Chief)
Wyndham - Human rogue/shadowdancer with a nasty streak and a shadow-companion(Lord of Whispers)
Richard - Extreme AC sword and board fighter (General)
Arcainen - Human water bloodline sorcerer, focused on rays (High Chancellor)
Mark - Human blaster-evoker (Magister)
My PCs pushed into the somewhat empty dungeons underneath Jorgenfist (all the Giants had left with Mokmurian to try to nab the Scribbler and figure out his rhyme). They will have been seen in the Sandpoint area, I think, perhaps having taken up residence in Thistletop. Still contemplating that...
Anyway, Wyndham, the invisi-scout was not killed by the haunt, they had fun with the jotun blood giant, then decided to sleep it off in the dungeon, but not before Wyndham went wandering down the hall where he was spotted by the dragon there (blindsense for the win). I had followed another suggestion here and opted to have the dragon be a charmed and wisdom-damaged gold dragon. Anyway, Wyndham retreated, the dragon ratted the party out and called the Lamia, who then mounted an investigation.
The dragon, lamia and PCs duked it out for a while in the Sihedron branding room. This was a funner fight than it would have been separately as my PCs have drifted up in levels a bit so it wasn't much of a challenge to face these fights sequentially.
Next: on to the Library.
|Greycloak of Bowness
Session 50 and 51 - On to Sins of the Saviours
A couple of short sessions:
Fought the Runelsave Giant, suffered significant reductions in the Chamber of Reduction, killed the Headless Lord and his zombie posse, hated the Scanderig and had an ugly final confrontation with the Shining Child who hurt many with Scintillating Pattern and his blinding aura.
Had a fun Q&A in the library and with a little prodding, my PCs realized that Mokmurian had decamped to headed to Sandpoint to delve into the Catacombs of Wrath.
Had a bit of a homecoming, meeting old NPCs and a bit of lighthearted roleplay where the PCs tried to keep the locals from being afraid. Heard intel that there had been giants seen in the area but no confrontation. (Mok and his party had come in from the Smuggler's Tunnels).
Arrived in Catacombs of Wrath, there, they bumped into Conna hiding in the entry corridor from the original Cats of Wrath map from Burnt Offerings. Conna offered to help the party bypass the bulk of the Stone Giant baddies (in the prison room) and served the same purpose as before. Told the party that Mokmurian had found the clue he was looking for and left his guard behind to secure the weapon that he'll need to win this war (i.e. to get into Runeforge).
Party agreed and she used her magics to tunnel through to the down-going spiral stair from the Cats of Wrath to arrive on the SotS map without a sinkhole (which I felt was a bit of a plot crutch and not needed at this level of high powered divinations).
There, they did some Q&A with the Scribbler and quickly party quickly disengaged and pushed on into the Cathedral with the Glabrezu. The Glabrezu succeeded on his summoning attempt, quickly escalating the fight from a breeze to an ugly confrontation with two scary monsters on either side of the party. The party dealt with the demons but were pretty badly hurt and scattered.
Vor was Confused and left behind as the party edged south to deal with some summoning sounds they had heard from the next room (the Scribbler readying to engage, his plan being to do his summons and then bamf himself to the party's back flank).
Vor crashed to the ground when an anti-gravity spell ended and the Scribbler appeared at the back of the party over top of him and proceeded to crit him a couple times in the first full attack.
He died and the PC didn't want to continue on so he's coming back as a Dragon Disciple or something.
The group drove the Scribbler off to lick his wounds and we ended the evening.
This is getting to be a bit of a grind for me at this point. Decision paralysis in such a large group is starting to slow the combats down (I am as much at fault as my PCs, and there's not much I can do about it).
I'm not exactly sure where to go from here, but I will be liberally cutting away any of the encounters that aren't totally necessary. We'll see...
|Greycloak of Bowness
Session 52 - There's a dragon????
PCs finished the Scribbler and figured out his rhyme and made their way across Varisia to the standing stones. There, they figured out the spells, grabbed a couple of keys and then had a big debate about which spells to use next. They then blew their spot checks to see Arkryst so he flew overhead and then came down in a nosedive, blowing his breath over the party.
What followed was a spectacular failing of saving throws as all but one of the PCs failed their fear saves and so scattered in every possible direction. Arkryst picked them off one at a time, snatching, grabbing and flying them back to the middle to be dropped somewhere handy. I randomly chose which character to snatch each time and rolled up Grisly first who got the crunch, breath and drop treatment while everyone scattered. He's made of hitpoints so he survived.
Next in the random death generator was the new Dragon Disciple (a halfling), who did not fare so well and died of dragon wounds. Meanwhile, Wyndham (the only non-scared PC amazingly) delayed the dragon a bit while the others escaped into the trees. He used his shadowjump ability to escape and fled with only the new Sorcerer being carried away to be Dragon lunch.
Session 53 - Dead dragon and demiplanes
Armed with a plan (and a new halfling sorcerer), the party snuck back into the cave, intent on taking Arkryst in her lair. This fight went a lot better than the first one as Arkryst's plan did not work as well since everyone had Fly or Wind Walk running, and so she died of Maximized Fireball and Raging Dwarf critical hit wounds. The group wallowed in the dragon hoard for a while, scooped everything into a now full to bursting bag of holding and retrieved the Runeforge keys once more.
They went through the portal, looked at the seven statues and opted to head into the Transmutation wing where they were nearly TPK'd by the goldfishifying field and then fought the Mithril Mage, swarming him pretty easily.
|Greycloak of Bowness
Session 54 - Jump gates
In attendance:
Jerrick - Shoanti bow hunter cleric of Erastil with a horse companion (High Priest)
Wyndham - Human rogue/shadowdancer with a nasty streak and a shadow-companion(Lord of Whispers)
Richard - Extreme AC sword and board fighter (General)
Arcainen - Human water bloodline sorcerer, focused on rays (High Chancellor)
New_Halfling_sorcerer_whose_name_escapes_me - Halfling Arcane Bloodline
Grisly - Dwarven switch-hitting barbarian (War Chief)
Mark - Human blaster-evoker (Magister)
After finishing up the Greed/Transmutation wing and playing around with the wand recharging pool, they headed to the Wrath/Evocation wing and started jumping around.
One fun thing about these wings is the staggered entrances so some folk get stuck unable to make it in (if they are not from the sin specialty in question.
Anyway, halfling_sorcerer and someone else got through first to face the iron golem archer but halfling_sorcerer locked the way with Wall of Force. Richard flew up to melee range and wailed away while the others dribbled in and helped from range. Arcainen dimension doored Jerrick in behind the golem and healed Richard so the critter went down. Golems in general have been fairly simple for a long time because one of Richard's first purchases was an Adamantine longsword.
Anyway, from there on to fighting Eldritch knights and sinspawn axemen. This was one of the funner combats we've had in a while with lots of walls, explosions, black tentacles, jumping through teleportation gates, dimension dooring and telepathic communication. The fight sprawled through into several rooms, had some chases through the gates and ended in a satisfactory manner. We finished with the party significantly depleted and waiting to go into the Highlady's room to fight her and the Shemhazian (sic?) demon.
I don't know what made this so much fun, maybe it was the lots of bad guys factor (I upped the group in the training room to 10EK's and 10 Sinspawns instead of 7 and 7 or whatever it was because my group is 14th level and had 5 PCs). Maybe it was the lack of action paralysis on my part as my critters were pretty simple to control as they didn't have a million spells to draw from but there you go.
It was a fun night.
We ended in initiative (with the minute/level spells still active) so I expect a tough fight with the Highlady in the next room. My plan is to have the group bump into Mokmurian just as he completes the cycle back in the main room and opens the portal to the outside world with his sin-enhanced weaponry ready, fight him to a draw and him alone escape. We'll see if I can cook that up or whether we'll get stuck with one big combat with the Highlady and run out of time or if he'll die right here in Runeforge.
|Greycloak of Bowness
Sessions 56 and 57 - Wrath, Sloth and a trap from Mokmurian
It's been a while but my PCs had a tough fight with the Highlady and her Shemhazian cohort as they were at the end of their resources and met a prepared enemy. There, they learned about the nature of Runeforge - what the weapons can do and how to make them. I also tweaked the rules a bit from the written material to require all seven essences to be combined back in the pool room to open the portal back to the Prime Material Plane.
They then rested and discovered that their rear-guard (Mark the evoker who is almost never with us any more) was turned to stone in the Runeforge Pool room (by Mokmurian).
They callously ignored that, plunged into the Sloth wing and had a good romp of the ever sprawling dungeon there, going roughly clockwise through the rooms around the entrance. Early on, Wyndham contracted Mummy Rot (which really sucks) and they eventually fought Kazaven in several engagements spanning the two sessions.
I misread the negative energy trap and had it active in both Kazaven's Phylactery room (where it's supposed to be) and in the Assembly room, which deepened the encounter difficulty significantly, but that worked out well for my 6 PC group.
They eventually nailed down the Lich, destroyed his phylactery and returned to Wrath to rest up.
The next morning on their way to the Lust wing, Mokmurian was waiting for them hiding just inside the envy wing. He started with reverse gravity and his fog spells to control the battle and had managed to suck the party into the entrance of Envy (he knows about the Disjunction field, knows its timing and plans on hurting the party with it). We ended with him around the corner inside the Halls in initiative with the next Disjunction pulse coming in 2 rounds.
|Greycloak of Bowness
Session 58 - Envy and Lust
In attendance:
Jerrick - Shoanti bow hunter cleric of Erastil with a horse companion (High Priest)
Wyndham - Human rogue/shadowdancer with a nasty streak and a shadow-companion(Lord of Whispers)
Richard - Extreme AC sword and board fighter (General)
Arcainen - Human water bloodline sorcerer, focused on rays (High Chancellor)
Grisly - Dwarven switch-hitting barbarian (War Chief)
Mark - Human blaster-evoker (Magister)
New_Halfling_sorcerer_whose_name_escapes_me - Halfling Arcane Bloodline
Mokmurian put up a wall of fire and retreated into the alcove away from the disjunction trap and the PCs scuttled forward. He was tragically unable to do much with his blasting spells so he used Form of the Dragon II to switch to a Large Green Dragon and enter melee and did pretty well for a bit while he waited for the Disjunction trap to flash.
Very much unfortunately for him, Jerrick had an arrow of Dragon Slaying and he thought to bust it out. He managed to score a hit and Mokmurian rolled a 4 on his Fort save (exactly enough to fail) and he was suddenly in a ton of trouble. He dimension doors out back to the central room to open the portal back to the Prime Material and escape.
Wyndham remains behind to work on the trap while the others fan out and chase, quickly spotting Mok in the main room and killing him with magic.
Then the disjunction hit (catching only Wyndham) and I played it like the 3.5 original where it attacked every magic item in range. Sadly for my PCs, Wyndham carried almost all of the party's treasure in a bag of holding inside of his Handy Haversack. In addition to most of Wyndham's useful gear, the haversack was disjoined and thus all of their vast treasures accumulated over about 90% of SotS was lost in extra-dimensional space.
Killing my over-monied party's monies was a fine thing. The bummer is that Wyndham is probably the weakest character in the group combat-wise and he lost the most.
Fortunately, the adventure gave me a couple of solutions right away:
First, Wyndham headed over to the wand recharging pool from the Transmutation? wing and dunked his now just masterwork armour into it. I let him roll continuously until he either had a catastrophic success or a catastrophic failure. He ended up with a 100% on his third roll so I gave him back fully repaired leather armour with an additional plus and Greater Shadow instead of the Improved Shadow modification he already had.
Secondly, they found and figured out the Ethillium pool, which I decided would provide the GP cost equivalent for enchanting magic items instead of defraying the XP cost like in the original 3.5 version. This allowed him enough for Jerrick to build him a bad-assed Wounding Rapier, which will open up lots of options for him in the future.
Anyway, tears were shed and then the group healed up and headed off to the lust wing to continue their sweep of Runeforge. There, they met the alu-demons and they refused to attack until attacked. The PCs were loaded up with Protection from Evil to a man and so were totally immune to any of their suggestions etc, so decided to be a little more peaceful than normal.
Wyndham (the lust-attuned one in the group) was contacted mentally by Dalvahinne (however her name is spelled) and he trotted off into her pleasure palace to exchange... er... services for the tokens he needed.
I knew my group and played this not as PG-13 soft core but a fair amount edgier than that. Wyndham suffered 6 rounds of energy drain with the ball-gagged and shackled succubus to sate his lust before he tried to escape. She was having none of that and easily escape artisted out of the toys as Wyndham fled.
He managed to escape with a gag in one hand and a bejewelled phallus in the other but the others wanted to stay and fight. I had upped the difficulty of her stone giant guards (from standard giants to 4 Teraktinuses, representing Mokmurian's honour guard). The fight was really, really tough as both melee fighters were knocked out before the group managed to plow through the bad guys. Dalvahinne managed to pierce their Protection from Evil a couple of times with the one-two combination of Dispel Magic and then Dominate Person, but it didn't come to much in the end. She got glitterdusted, had to teleport to solve that, got cornered and killed.
That leaves us with the Pride (illusion) wing, then Karzoug's statue and we're on to Spires of Xin Shalast. Because they got Mokmurian (it was close), I probably won't be running any of the Kingmaker 5 battle stuff and the campaign will end with Karzoug's end.
We'll see - I'm getting increasingly less enamoured with GMing high level campaigns with the action paralysis and crazy spell lists I have to deal with as GM, so I may not do the capstone stuff I was thinking of (running KM6 as a consequence of them failing to shut off the Leng device or as a scorched earth final act when Karzoug bites it).
|Greycloak of Bowness
Session 59 - Pride and a naked Richard
In attendance:
Jerrick - Shoanti bow hunter cleric of Erastil with a horse companion (High Priest)
Wyndham - Human rogue/shadowdancer with a nasty streak and a shadow-companion(Lord of Whispers)
Richard - Extreme AC sword and board fighter (General)
Arcainen - Human water bloodline sorcerer, focused on rays (High Chancellor)
Grisly - Dwarven switch-hitting barbarian (War Chief)
Mark - Human blaster-evoker (Magister)
New_Halfling_sorcerer_whose_name_escapes_me - Halfling Arcane Bloodline
The party pushed into Pride with Wyndham in the lead - Poof! The mirrors of opposition creates two Wyndham's with two of his Rapiers of Puncturing and his hit and run ability. Real Wyndham had a tough time, Richard destroyed one Wyndham's rapier and eventually the pair of them were brought down. The party deliberated on what to do next and decided to send Richard in, unarmed and unarmoured reasoning that the mirrors would create two easy to kill Richards.
That happened and the Richards attacked, the hall was blocked and they retreated. On the wings of a dimension door and a shadow jump, the fight drifted into the main room where the two Richards were joined by the 4 simulacra who invisibly smashed the party with fireballs and attempted Save or Suck spells (Feeblemind etc.). Jerrick and his True Seeing led the party to tracking down the 4 illusionists and took them out. They explored the back of the Pride wing and learned the story of what went down in Runeforge over the years. There was some worry as Jerrick had cast Shield Other on Richard and when they both were hit by the same fireball, it was close for Jerrick.
Next, they returned and finished cooking up their Runeforged weapons, starting with the Dominant weapon that brought the Greater Stone Golem into the fight. As always, Arcainen started with a Grease Spell and as always, I failed the saving throw so Golem-Karzoug fell in a heap. Still, Richard (who was still life-linked to Jerrick) engaged the Golem and was smashed mightily for his efforts. Jerrick looked close to death at one point and it was suddenly germane that Shield Other has duration (D) - he cut off the spell, Richard took some hits and the fight was over in short order with no deaths.
Karzoug taunted the group, they thought hard on where Mhar Massif and Xin Shalast might be and they didn't really get it, setting things up for next time. They did a couple of kingdom turns and they did some shopping.
Next time (that is tonight) I will do a little exposition describing their time after Runeforge and their vain search for Mhar Massif, as well as a talk of how they returned to Conna - showed the Giants Mokmurian's head and dispersed the tribes, then SoXS!
I also have to think of some way to wrap up the kingdom-building part of this campaign arc now that the stone giants are mostly settled - I'm not sure - maybe a small giant invasion from the scraps of Mokmurian's army - Maybe I'll run that combined with an amped up version of the last Kingmaker adventure as a Karzoug cursing the land as he dies kind of thing.
|Greycloak of Bowness
Sessions 60, 61, 62 (Soon to come 63, 64, 65)
It's been a while so I can only paint broad strokes:
Session 60 - The Vekker's Cabin
This was really fun. I ran it by the book and fast paced and it was an excellent bit of horror adventuring. Shouldn't be skipped.
Session 61 - Into Xin Shalast
PCs followed the trail through the frozen highlands and into Xin Shalast. They bluffed their way past the Lamia kuchrimas at the entrance and wandered into the city unmolested. There, they chose to avoid fights with the large encampments of giants, lamia, yeti and whatnot. They went into the arena and fought the ice Devil in the Heparic Locus. After that, they were contacted by Morgiv the Skulk and were offered a home base and intelligence in exchange for taking care of the Hidden Beast
Session 62 - Hidden Beasts and Dragons
PCs fought the Hidden beast (a scary fight made worse by me misreading the energy drain rules while simultaneously not noticing that the beast had Blindsight and scent, which would have endangered a couple of the fighters who were under cloak of Improved Invisibility), talked with Morgiv about who was where and then decided to go after the Blue Dragon to steal his stuff and not have to deal with him later.
I upped the Dragon to a Pathfinder Ancient Blue, which was a pretty scary challenge because of his Storm Breath ability which pretty much pierced all of their resistances right off the bat. Action Economy got the best of him though and the PCs nailed him down. Richard had a bleeding critical along the way which proved fatal as it bled out fleeing for help and crashed into the city.
|Greycloak of Bowness
I was thinking the exact thing actually.
What I haven't done yet is update the 3 sessions we've played in the Pinnacle of Avarice yet but the broad strokes is after dealing with everything else, the PCs killed all of the Denizens (which shuts down the Leng Device). I changed that scene a bit because I didn't want to do an on the fly PF conversion of the 3.5 Hound of Tindalos so I had the portal pop open with a Shaggoth inside instead.
I'm considering offering to run a miniseries some time in the future when our next campaign needs a break, where the PCs get leveled up to 20th (they're 16th-ish now) and I take KM6 and high-grade it up to 20th/epic levels and smash their little kingdom with that. To get ready for that, I am planning on Karzoug taunting them with something about how his defeat will only serve to release something much, much worse, maybe one calendar year after their coming victory.
|Greycloak of Bowness
Sessions 63, 64 and the penultimate 65
Session 63 - First Assault on the Pinnacle of Avarice
After some divination and prepping some spells, the group decided to wind walk in, materialize in the ramp and test the defenders with a frontal assault. They managed to kill most of the cloud giants, about a third of the frost giants, one rune giant, and the champion of greed before fleeing when the other rune giants and the harridans arrived.
They were lucky in their preparations as they happened to be ready for Lightning (because I had planted the seed that the Blue Dragon they killed not too long earlier was seen flying around again).
They learned some lessons and had a big planning session for assault 2.
I had printed out a slightly reduced half-scale plot (1"=10') of the pinnacle with some guide lines for the circular arcs and filled in the rooms as we went. Because of some shenanigans with walls of force, some of the interior walls got mashed down by giants and PCs alike.
Session 64 - Second Assault on the Pinnacle (Part 1)
The next time, they were ready for the magnitude of the defenses and the defenders were slightly differently organized with a Rune Giant and a Harridan at the entrance point and organized into similar teams of defenders.
PCs assaulted via the front door and the gore was unimaginable. They sprayed Prismatic Sprays to great effect against the big group of reinforcing rune giants and fought a dynamic battle that ranged through the entrance and ended with Khalib the apprentice having to pull his punches a tiny bit (He didn't use his delayed blast fireball at a moment when it would have killed half the party, instead opting for something transmutery). PCs were ultimately victorious and decided to stick around rather than retreat and face more reinforcements.
Session 65 - Mop-up in the Pinnacle (Part 2)
Last weekend, we knew we were getting close and I wanted the full group there for the finale so we split our time between making our way to just before the final fight and either playing PFS and/or working on characters for the next campaign (Skulls and Shackles, with my brother as GM).
So, victorious in breaching the main defenses, the PCs explored deeper and bumped into Ceoptra and her pair of cronies first (which was slowed down and simplified a bit by prismatic walls). She used Greater Spell Immunity to wade through the Prismatic Wall and engage the PCs directly but they were never in all that much danger here.
Next, they wandered around and fought with a few more Karzoug images (Wyndham was petrified by the last one) before coming across the Denizens of Leng and their device. I played them as totally not caring about the presence of the PCs - they were aware, mysterious, neutral and aloof. This creeped my group out quite a bit and after a lengthy telepathic communication, decided to fight the denizens. The denizens didn't stand a chance and barely landed a blow but the flashes as the leng device dies (with each denizen death) got my group worried.
They evacuated a ways and heard the explosion and roar back in the Leng room. Since I didn't have a decent Hound of Tindalos to run, I decided to play up the Chtulhu stuff and had a Shoggoth come pouring out of the portal. PCs decided that was enough and they fled and that was the end.
My plan for next time:
The Shoggoth will have messed up much of the Pinnacle and escaped to wreak havoc in the city, hopefully exiting the stage without the party deciding to fight it. PCs will go through the portal to the Eye of Avarice (once they figure out how it works) and face Karzoug and his minions.
Taking a chapter from the PFS version of the finale, I'm adding a Rune Giant and the Blue Dragon they defeated (resurrected as a "Rune Slave", which I'll run as a dumb Adult Blue Dragon with the simple Giant Template applied, so CR14).
As reported above, and assuming Karzoug dies, I'll sew the seeds for a reunion epic-level mini-series if I get ambitious where I'll run a beefed-up KM6. I'm not all that sure as I am very weary of the drag and decision paralysis of high-level play, but I want to leave that option open.
Greycloak of Bowness, I really enjoyed reading of your groups adventures. It took me from when you posted Dec 4, to now, reading when I could, generally when I was putting my 1.5 yr old to bed. It made for good reading. I hope if you run another adventure, you continue to post. Have you considered writing of your characters adventures in your brothers campaign?
One other question, it may have been answered and I missed it between baby bottles. How did the characters react when they realized they had bought a place that was owned by someone else who was out of town, way back at the beginning of skinsaw? I laughed pretty hard when I read that. Almost woke the baby.
anyway, thanks again for a great read. I appreciate the time you put into this, both GM prep as well as writing the AARs.

Session 66: Death of a Runelord (and a bunch of PCs along the way)
Unfortunately, the player in charge of Grizly had a personal emergency so had to cancel late but we forged on without him anyway.
The PCs started with a lengthy discussion about tactics and whatnot, prepped spells and got themselves up to the Pinnacle of Avarice. There, they found that the Shoggoth had wrecked the place and was long gone so they decided to let it fight the giant army below and plunged back into the room with the Occulus-thingey.
They went in circles after I wasn't very helpful with the information as to how to activate it, debating smearing blood on it (which would have worked) or smashing it with Richard's sword (which being the correct variety of runeforged would indeed have worked). After trying lesser items, Richard decided to smash the lens and activated the gate to the Eye of Avarice.
Now, the PCs committed the huge and unforgiving mistake of just jumping through without finishing their minutes/level buffs. Anyway, they plunged in to find a multi-tiered throne room thematically similar to that found in the Anniversary edition, complete with the same baddies: a couple of storm giants, a rune giant, an adult blue dragon (which I described as being the one they had killed earlier now covered in runes and with a glassy look about him).
Arcainen won initiative and squandered his turn moving away from the group and buffing. Karzoug went next and Meteor Swarmed the group on the platform and quickened Time Stopped to cast Spell Turning and Cloudkill on the entry platform and shapechange on himself. Next, Wyndham darted forward out of the fog and attacked the rune giant, which proved to be a bad idea because the next move was for the halfling sorcerer to dimension door himself, Richard and Jerrik up to Karzoug's grill. Jerrik casts Antimagic field and moves next to Karzoug and Richard steps up and wails away, hitting a few times.
Next, the giants go, engaging Arcainen and Wyndham who fight back for a few rounds, mostly just depleting their protection from energies.
Karzoug retreats out of the antimagic field (eating an AoO on the way) and transmutes into a Dragon and flies out of reach and did something else with his quickened rod, I forget what. The group on the top platform chase forward to attack once they shut down their own Antimagic Field (having forgotten the cardinal rule of winning with Antimagic Field, namely that you need to grapple the bad wizard). Richard pursued, Halfing dude fussed with his Spell Turning.
Meanwhile at the bottom platform, Arcainen himself got surrounded by cloud giants and decided to dimension door away, leaving Wyndham alone fighting a Rune Giant (and losing) while he moved up to the top platform with the others.
Karzoug replied with Wail of the Banshee, which killed the Halfling and Jerrik outright and he quickened a Maze on Richard, leaving Wyndham 1 round from dead, Richard in the Maze and Arcainen alone with Karzoug.
(Currently 3 dead - Wyndham, Jerrick and Halfing sorcerer)
After some prodding from the GM, Arcainen decided to grab dead Jerrick and dead Halfling dude and zot back to the exit portal to regroup.
10 rounds later, Arcainen successfully raises Jerrick from a raise dead scroll about the time that Richard emerges from his Maze (he needed a nat 20 on the Int check as his bonus is +0). Jerrick spends the next minute raising Halfling dude while Richard is left in the throne room with 3 giants and Karzoug.
Big K takes a beating when Richard wins initiative on the reentry so he divides the room with Prismatic Wall and retreats away to cast some new buffs while his giants engage Richard. Richard gets pounded but kills the Rune Giant and gets one of the Cloud Giants with a bleeding critical that proves fatal in the long run, finally dying from giant-wounds about 1 round before the retreat and raise dead group returns.
At this point, Richard and Wyndham are dead.
The spellcaster trio return and whittle away at Karzoug's spell turning with first magic missile and eventually greater dispel magic, rasoning that killing their own defences is worth taking Karzoug's down as well, taking out the giants in the mean time.
The battle goes long and I use just about all of Karzoug's 5th level and higher spells, many being thwarted by Parasitic Runeforged weaponry but it seems to me I killed another one or two of them along the way.
Jerrick the archer who started the campaign with a Con score of 6 or something whittled away at Karzoug, doing consistent bow damage enough to finally kill him.
The final battle went way longer than I expected mostly due to the PCs splitting the party (and not taking out one bad guy at a time but instead spreading themselves out) and partially due to them not starting with their preferred set of buffs, but it was an epic end to an epic campaign.
I did tell the PCs to level their guys up to 20th level with 20th level wealth in case I decide to run the last Kingmaker adventure as an epic-level mini-series. We'll see. The burn of decision paralysis and high-level campaigning is still strong so I may never want to return to that group of players as the next chance I get might be after the Skull and Shackles Campaign my brother started running immediately after we finished my game.
@LurkingEye - As I recall they were pretty peeved about the whole thing, but the details are lost to me in the fog of history. I am keeping an in-character log of my adventures on our group's Facebook site but I suppose I can twin that easily enough on these forums.
I put the bit from the beginning on the campaign here:

Megan Fox Employs a Softened, Sexy Death Stare for Armani
The 'Transformers' star strips down for underwear and denim ads.
Why, it only seems like last week that Megan Fox, she of the high, alabaster cheeks, swinging hips, murder thumbs, and unchecked mouth was absolutely everywhere — the big screen, SNL, the blogs, the cover of Nylon. Somehow, though, we reached full saturation level with the young, aggressive actress, and the cold season has seen little of the Transformers ingenue. But, as you may remember, the high point of the last Megan Fox media cycle concluded with the raven-haired sex bomb landing the Emporio Armani underwear and Armani Jeans ad contract. As promised, here she is, showing off her curves and reigniting the flames in teenage hearts with these come-hither shots by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, and the results are frankly better than expected. Piggott and Alas have smoothed down some of Fox's natural "hardness," adding intrigue to what was becoming a tired image (the digital removal of every one of her many tattoos didn't hurt, either). And, sure, the campaign lacks the edgy absurdity delivered by the actress's predecessor, Victoria Beckham, but certainly no one can look at Fox's hips and accuse Armani's team of a Ralph Lauren–style Photoshop foul. See another shot after the jump.

About Me
I spent a good chunk of my adult life as an arts reporter/critic/columnist for the Boston Globe. Among other things, I covered the cultural wars of the early 1990s (remember Mapplethorpe?), reviewed theater, and profiled all sorts of interesting characters. I also wrote an early column about online culture, which led me to become one of the first online war correspondents during the conflict in Kosovo, an odd but exhilarating gig for an arts maven. While I was a fellow in the National Arts Journalism program, a colleague handed me a gloomy article called "Print is Dead." I eventually got the message and took a buyout from the Globe in 2001. I had vague dreams of saving the world, but instead had three kids in 17 months. Therein lies my newfound interest in public education. I am hoping to create a dialogue about what's wrong, what's right, and what's up in our schools today.

It's the traditional month of family gathering...Thanksgiving. There's turkey and the trimmings, and in many homes, it's the first trip home for college students.
This month has another family side to it as well. For the entire month, thousands of families will take extra time to give thanks to new members of the family.
It's time to move forward with the Handy House lease, that was the consensus of the Harrison County Fiscal Court on Tuesday.
"This is a win-win for us," said magistrate Bradley Copes of the lease agreement with the local historical society. "They'll be happy and we can move ahead."
The Harrison County High School marching band traveled to Norwood High School in Cincinnati over the weekend to compete in the Mid- State competition.
The band was one of 10 bands out of 28 chosen to participate in the finals.
The Marching Thorobreds performed their repertoire and clinched the seventh place position.
"It's a bittersweet end to the year," said band director John Merz. "We hate that it's over, but we ended with a strong performance."
Thirty-one inoperative vehicles have been towed from within the city limits this year. Wayland Quisenberry, code enforcement officer, told Cynthiana Commissioners Tuesday that total includes five recently removed from city property.

Cynthiana police and firefighters hired since 2008 may not have been covered by hazardous duty retirement as they believed.
During a special meeting of the commission last week, Ptl. Jeff Thomas presented a handbook given to him during orientation that implied one of the city's benefits was hazardous duty retirement.
Commissioner Amanda Moore said six employees were under the impression they had the benefit.

text: Riola Church and Parish Centre in Italy, Alvar Aalto One side of the building (exterior) photographed by Francesco Di Capua. You probably already know this but I'm a massive fan of Finnish architect and designer Alvar Aalto, his works never fail to inspire and impress me. Also, every time I research the man I come across new information that I've never seen/heard before, the Alvar Aalto architecture file is a particularly great resource to use. A website that has fantastic explanations on every build that he's ever designed from all over the world, they're quite in-depth as well. This specific build was inspired by a recent video that I discovered on Vimeo by Leopoldo Llorente Avanzini, who seems to work on a lot of projects that revolve around CGI mixed with architecture. He must mock these up on the computer, and although some of the proportions are not quite right I originally thought this was real (that's how good it is!). Whatever way I think it gives you a fantastic view of the interior of building and what it's actually like inside, the photos here that compliment are also brilliant. These specific ones showcased today were snapped by photographer Francesco Di Capua who lives in Napoli, I would recommend watching a short film that he produced which looks inside and around the building as well, if you're really interested in this project. Moving onto the actual building itself, this church and parish centre is situated in the small mountain village of Riola di Vergato and was originally designed by Alvar Aalto himself. The Bishop of Bologna, Cardinal Giacomo Lercaro, asked Alvar if he would design a small church, he agreed and in 1966 completed the plan which showed the church and parish centre in its final form. Aalto wanted to create an enclosed piazza in front of the church which would enable thousands of people to congregate for major religious festivals, he also came up with the idea of dividing up the church with gigantic sliding walls, these are hidden and are only used when needed. Pretty genius if you ask me. On a personal note one thing that struck me was the use of light. A lot of people say that light makes a world of difference in a building and this is definitely the case here. You must get some incredible shadows bouncing around those white walls thanks to the oddly shaped supports that run across and along the ceiling, such a stunning form both inside and outside. I also love the use of wood and greenery inside, it makes for a clean setting that's both quirky and that has character, overall a stunning piece of architecture that would be delightful to view in person. Since I've not viewed it myself in person I'm stuck with these photographs and the video, which you can view below, if you're feeling adventurous I'd definitely recommend heading out to Italy to explore this place and the surrounding villages. www.alvaraalto.fi Glorious mix of greenery and wood, both natural elements, against the contrast of white curved and geometric walls. Inside the main seating area of the church. Again you can see all the structural elements, windows on the left tile all the way up to the ceiling offering ample light. The outside piazza, now named "Piazza Alvar Aalto", which is enclosed for humans to congregate at religious events. Bold lines which are both aesthetically pleasing and structurally important, no hidden elements. Notice the furniture which was designed by Alvar Aalto himself. Separate dividing elements, both horizontal and vertical windows at corresponding angles, truly showing the genius of Alvar Aalto's work. The whole church captured in one shot, quite intriguing in my opinion how the structure appears to slant to one side. This is due to the supports which lead the eye down and around.

Learn more about beets in our Summer Vegetable Guide.
You'll love beets too after trying Joyce's fantastic beet recipes.
How to Love Beets
By Joyce Goldstein
Many people dislike beets and say that it's the only vegetable they won't eat. I believe that their experience with beets was unpleasant because they've probably only experienced canned beetscertainly not a great way to learn to love these tasty roots.
I think that beets have gotten a bad rap. Beets are beautiful and bring color to the plate. Many varieties can now be found at the grocery store and at farmer's markets. Yes, there are the traditional red beets. But also look for golden beets and those that are striped red and white, called Chioggia beets, which are particularly pretty and sweet. I prefer to buy smaller beets as they are more tender and are less likely to have a bitter undertone.
Get Out Your Smock
One warning: Golden beets and Chioggias don't bleed much at all, but red beets will color everything they come into contact with, including your hands and clothing. If you mix red with gold beets they will stain them with their red pigment. Red beets also color your cutting surfaces so avoid wood and use a plastic board that can be easily washed.
Getting to Know Beets
There are two methods for cooking beets. Boiling is the fastest way, but many think that beets lose some of their earthy intensity that way. However, if you are just starting to get to know beets, this may be the easiest way to learn to love them. To prepare them, simply wash away excess dirt and cut off most of the leaves. If they are crisp and in good condition you can cook them separately as you'd cook chard or any other leafy green. Be sure to leave an inch of stem attached to each beet so it doesn't bleed its color into the water.
Put beets in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Add a dash of salt and bring to a boil. Simmer the beets, covered, until tender, about 30 to 40 minutes. Drain partially, add cool water to the pot and peel the beets while they are warm but not hot. It may be easiest to peel them under running water.
For those who prefer a more intense beet taste, baking is better. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Place beets in a pan, add about an inch of water, cover the pan very tightly with foil and bake until tender, about an hour, maybe longer. When the skin on the beets is wrinkled and pulls away easily, the beets are ready to be peeled. Make sure to let them cool before peeling.
Cooking time for beets will vary according to the size of the beets, so start checking small beets after 20 minutes and large beets after 30 minutes. A thin metal skewer or small, sharp knife will penetrate beets easily when they are done. Slice or quarter the beets depending upon their size, and how you plan to serve them.
The Dependable Beet
Beets are a convenient vegetable to have on hand. There's nothing last minute about them. Uncooked they keep for days in the refrigerator. After cooking beets you can wait for many hours before using them; they even keep a day or two in the refrigerator.
Beets are also versatile as they can be served hot or cold. If this is your first adventure with beets, try combining them with vegetables that you like or are familiar with, such as carrots, potatoes and green beans. Flavors that work well with beets are mint, tarragon, citrus, ginger, horseradish and sweet and sour medleys of honey or sugar with a bit of vinegar.

NCTQ Standards for Teacher PrepThe Teacher Prep Review addresses critical areas of teacher preparation through 19 standards that are specific, measurable and designed to identify the programs most likely to produce graduates whose students have the best outcomes. The standards for second edition of the Teacher Prep Review are based on research; internal and external expert panels; the best practices of other nations and the states with the highest performing students; and, most importantly, what superintendents and principals around the country tell us they look for in the new teachers they hire. The standards have been refined by 10 national and state studies and by consultation with experts on NCTQ's Technical Panel, comprising international and domestic experts on teacher education, faculty and deans from schools of education, statistics experts and PK-12 leaders. They have also been honed to ensure alignment with rigorous state learning standards. Each takes us about two years to develop. As noted, to the extent that high-quality research can inform how teachers should be prepared, NCTQ uses that research to formulate standards.The research basis for each of our standards is contained in the collection of research rationales found below. Because research in education that connects preparation practices to teacher effectiveness is both limited and spotty, each rationale also provides other supporting evidence for our standards.
ResourcesStandards and indicators
Intro to research inventories
Full Research Rationales
Standards Guidance docs
Each standard also has a "book" that contains the proverbial kitchen sink: indicators, a general statement of the standard's rationale, a detailed standard scoring methodology, a statement about research and other support for the standard, and a research inventory that categorizes studies that generally bear on the aspect of preparation addressed in the standard.

Been suffering with RLS for years now. I did not want to take the medicine that the doctor would have me take, so I was feeling somewhat hopeless. I routinely use homeopathic remedies, so I decided to see what was available. To make a long story short, Restful Legs made a difference the very first night. I take 4 tablets either before bed or when I get the first twinge of restless legs. It works in minutes. I have also noticed that the quality of my sleep has been excellent since I started taking Restful Legs.
This product is an essential for anyone suffering from RLS. I take mucuna, but even with that I sometimes break through and find myself running in bed. Two or 3 of these little tablets under the tongue and soon I'm sound asleep.
Really works!
Posted by Reviewer2570178 on Jul 29, 2013
Sitting and relaxing in the evening (after an active day on my feet, moving around in house, garden, or city runs) is when my legs sometimes don't want to stop being active! This product dissolves fast under the tongue and provides almost immediate relief. Taking Hyland's Restful Legs for an evening or two brings relief for many evenings to come. We always have it on hand. This is my favorite homeopathic product.
Really Works

Could see improvement within a few days. Great stuff. (Sydney, Australia)
It sure seems to work
Posted by Reviewer2548332 on Mar 22, 2013
Normally it's hard to tell if something is working but when I take these tabs, no wierd sensations in my legs. I use to lay in bed and twitch, stretch and toss and turn trying to get the tingling to stop. If my husband wrapped his legs around me I felt almost claustophobic. This works. I definitely will order more. Can't pronounce the ingredients so I hope they're safe but I like the results with no side affects that I can notice.
Hyland's Restful Legs
Posted by JANXAN on Jan 31, 2013
This product is a must try for anyone with restless legs. It works unbelievably fast. It dissolves very quickly under the tongue and begins to work immediately. I still can't believe the relief it provides. I will never be without this.
Posted by Reviewer2020920 on Nov 18, 2012
I have never thought I could have so nice nights. 3 tablets under the tongue when I get the first feeling of cramp/restlessness. 45 min.s later - nothing!

O'Driscoll enters the home straight with extreme modesty
By Julian Guyer ,AFP
March 8, 2014, 12:00 am TWN
LONDON -- "In no time, no one will remember me."
Of all the words that will be written and spoken about Ireland rugby great Brian O'Driscoll as the gifted center enters the final fortnight of his Test career, surely none will prove so wide of the mark as his own absurdly modest self-assessment delivered this week.
Far more likely is that when O'Driscoll's youngest admirers are themselves old men they will reminisce fondly about having seen him in action just as their forebears talk of Jack Kyle, Ireland's brilliant 1948 Grand Slam-winning fly-half, Willie John McBride, the second row colossus and captain of the all-conquering British and Irish Lions in South Africa in 1974, or that other great Ireland stalwart of the 1960s and 1970s, Mike Gibson — arguably the only player who can top "BOD" as Irish rugby's best all-time center.
That celebrated trio of Irish rugby greats all come from the British-controlled province of Northern Ireland, whereas O'Driscoll is from the independent southern Republic, a distinction that matters less in rugby union than many other sports given the 15-man game remained an all-island-of-Ireland affair even after partition in the 1920s.
But Gibson and O'Driscoll do have some things in common.
Gibson retired as the world's most-capped player, with 81 Tests to his name, including 12 for the Lions, in 15 years.
Meanwhile this weekend, in his final home international before retirement, 35-year-old O'Driscoll will appear in a record-breaking 140th Test (including eight for the Lions) in 15 years as Six Nations leaders Ireland face Italy at Dublin's Lansdowne Road.
O'Driscoll, who made his debut in 1999, was one of the first purely professional-era top-flight rugby union players in an age of ever more Tests (Six Nations, not Five, World Cups and several internationals every November).
Not that O'Driscoll, who has transformed himself from a youthful dasher with an eye for the gap to a master defender in the often brutal world of modern rugby union, was one for misty-eyed memories.

Dairy Digest
Edited by Dr. Jud Heinrichs, Professor of Dairy and Animal Science, Dairy Digest features articles by Penn State's experts in dairy management, engineering, herd health, and related areas. Dairy Digest has been published by the Department of Dairy and Animal Science and Penn State Cooperative Extension since 1963.
Over the past few years much has been written, talked about, or broadcast on TV regarding the care or at times the lack thereof of animals raised in production agriculture. This has caused many of us who have been working in animal agriculture for years, to stop and look around and try to understand what has caused some of the fuss.
With the significant increase in adoption of resynchronization programs more routine determination of pregnancy status is being used.
For many producers across the state, it has been a struggle to maintain fat tests above a 3.4%. This has occurred on non-grazing herds and has been fairly consistent throughout the summer, regardless of temperature. This seems to be occurring more on herds feeding a high forage based ration and on an average milk production between 70 and 80 pounds. The one commonality is these herds are feeding corn silage. What are some issues that could be challenging butter fat percent?
The Heifer-Plus™ kit has become commercially available for treating bovine semen immediately post-thaw to alter the sex ratio of offspring.
We are coming into the summer months when the incidence of mastitis and the bulk tank somatic cell count tend to rise.
Pennsylvania consultants who are working with dairy teams to improve farm profitability can take advantage of the new web-based version of the Penn State Profitability Assessment Dairy Tool
A new tool designed to help evaluate the decision to feed pasteurized waste milk is available. This spreadsheet developed by Penn State and Virginia Tech extension educators calculates the cost of owning and operating a calf milk pasteurizer as well as costs to feed milk replacer or whole, saleable milk.
There are conflicting reports on the contribution of ruminants to greenhouse gas emissions (GGE). In these environmentally sensitive times it will help to put things in prospective.
Dr. Larry W. Specht, professor emeritus of dairy science, Penn State University, has compiled a history of polled Holsteins, naturally hornless cattle.
Your strategy should always be to optimize the use of energy to increase profitability and net cash flow.
Every dairy operation has its unique set of challenges; however there are a few management and nutrition options that can help maintain profit.
A properly designed and built tie stall barn can provide a comfortable and productive living and working environment for milking cows and their caretakers. There are several new resources available for those who are planning new or remodeled tie stall dairy barns.
There is little doubt that a major shift in the cost of producing milk has taken place and may continue for some time to come. Monitoring the COP for your dairy operation has always been important, but is even more so now.
Dr. Alex Hristov, Associate Professor of Dairy Nutrition, and Dr. Joy Pate, Professor of Reproductive Physiology and the C. Lee Rumberger and Family Endowed Chair in Agricultural Sciences
The USDA's National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) recently published part one of the results of the Dairy 2007 national survey. This periodic snapshot of current management practices provides insight into current trends and changes over time.
This is the second in a series that will explore the use as well as discuss some of the controversies concerning antibiotic therapy in dairy cattle.
In light of the recent tragic death of a Pennsylvania dairy producer by a herd bull I feel it is important to review once again the costs and risks of having a bull on the premises.
Depending on which utility company provides your electricity, your rate cap protection may have already expired.
Within a certain range of temperatures called the thermoneutral zone or TNZ, calves can maintain body temperature without needing extra energy.

Semester in China Inspires Professor
By Brett Wilson | April 29, 2014

At the start of the fall 2013 semester, Dr. Bramwell Osula, associate professor for Regent University's School of Business & Leadership (SBL) was hoping for a traditional semester abroad—falling into the classic sights and sounds of a different culture and teaching a few classes.
But, the more involved he became at the China Youth University for Political Science (CYUPS) in Beijing, it was clear he would also gain a refreshed outlook on teaching.
"As I returned home from China, I realized how transformational the opportunity and the impact of the trip really was," said Osula.
What began as a task of guiding close to 80 graduate students through courses on qualitative research methods and the sociology of youth, soon evolved into his teaching English to upward of 1,000 undergraduate students in 13 classes.
"I was surrounded 24/7 by students, and it was pretty culturally daunting," said Osula.
These challenges, along with being one of the only Americans living on campus, fully submerged Osula into the Chinese way of life—a reality that presented fresh challenges to the seasoned professor.
"My Chinese is abysmal, so it was difficult at first. I can understand how in the first week or two a few individuals teaching abroad would turn tail and give up," said Osula. "But after about a month, it became very liberating in many ways."
Osula broke through his fear of "sticking out like a sore thumb," feeling more at ease once he began fully engaging with his students who were very willing to learn, especially with regard to the substantive disciplines.
"Every class was a kind of vibrant, cultural exchange; there was passion and excitement to be found, especially with the undergraduate students," said Osula. "They asked me pointed questions about America's culture, history and university structure, and I asked them about China."
When Osula finally returned home from his semester abroad, he noticed that he had gained a "heightened interest in the students." He uses this new momentum to continue "living out the witness" he teaches in his classes online and on campus for Regent.
"It's that student engagement that was very positive and feeds into what we do here at Regent, inside and outside of the classroom," said Osula.

Meanwhile, officials were investigating an oil slick about 3.4 miles from the area where the last underwater sounds were detected, said Angus Houston, the head of a joint agency coordinating the search off Australia's west coast.
Crews have collected an oil sample and are sending it back to Australia for analysis, a process that will take several days. Houston said it does not appear to be from any of the ships in the area, but cautioned against jumping to conclusions about its source.
The unmanned underwater vehicle, the Bluefin 21, was launched from the Australian navy ship Ocean Shield, the U.S. Navy said. The autonomous sub can create a three-dimensional sonar map of any debris on the ocean floor.
The move comes after crews picked up a series of underwater sounds over the past two weeks that were consistent with signals from an aircraft's black boxes, which record flight data and cockpit conversations. The devices emit "pings" so they can be more easily found, but their batteries only last about a month and are now believed dead.
"Today is day 38 of the search," Houston told a news conference. "We haven't had a single detection in six days, so I guess it's time to go under water."
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott raised hopes last week when he said authorities were "very confident" the four strong underwater signals that were detected were from the black boxes on Flight 370, which disappeared March 8 during a flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing with 239 people on board, mostly Chinese.
But Houston warned that while the signals are a promising lead, the public needs to be realistic about the challenges facing search crews in the extremely remote, deep patch of ocean -- an area he called "new to man."
"I would caution you against raising hopes that the deployment of the autonomous underwater vehicle will result in the detection of the aircraft wreckage. It may not," Houston said. "However, this is the best lead we have, and it must be pursued vigorously. Again, I emphasize that this will be a slow and painstaking process."
Houston, a retired Australian chief air marshal, called the search "one of the largest search and rescue, search and recovery operations that I've seen in my lifetime."
The Ocean Shield had been dragging a U.S. Navy device called a towed pinger locator through the water to listen for any sounds from the black boxes' beacons.
The Bluefin sub takes six times longer to cover the same area as the ping locator, and the two devices can't be used at the same time. Crews had been hoping to detect additional signals before sending down the sub, so they could triangulate the source and zero in on where the black boxes may be.
The submarine will take 24 hours to complete each mission: two hours to dive to the bottom, 16 hours to search the seafloor, two hours to return to the surface, and four hours to download the data, Houston said. In its first deployment, it will search a 15-square mile section of seafloor.
The black boxes could contain the key to unraveling the mystery of what happened to Flight 370. Investigators believe the plane went down in the southern Indian Ocean based on a flight path calculated from its contacts with a satellite and an analysis of its speed and fuel capacity. But they still don't know why.

Inspired Media Entertainment, the company behind Christian RTS Left Behind, plans to combine the powers of God with the powers of video games and capitalism by creating a game portal for Christian games.
"The company's goal is to establish an affiliate network with at least one percent of the churches — just 3,000 — that would produce an average sales of 50 games per church a year within three years," said Left Behind Games CEO Troy Lyndon. "This alone would generate supplemental revenue of $3 million a year, but more importantly, will provide parents with a healthy alternative for their children."
When the site launches in the next couple months, pious gamers will be able to pick up the Left Behind games, the Charlie Church Mouse games, and a full selection of hundreds of other family friendly titles.
Given that so many people in the country are religious, does it seem strange to you that there are so few worthwhile Christian games out there? It seems like a gold-mine in terms of both getting rich and saving souls! If you're not a Christian, would you play a game with overt Christian themes, if it was good?
