After that I was considering running a module. I have a
couple tier 7-9 adventures which I can run.
The first is Cult of the Ebon Destroyers. The summary from
the back cover reads:A malignant cult has taken root in the mystical and magical realm of Jalmeray. Known and feared throughout distant Vudra, the cult of Dhalavei has expertly destroyed organizations and societies from within for millennia. Now a new sect of the sinister Cult of the Ebon Destroyers has its sights set on Thakur Kharswan of Jalmeray, and the magistrates and bureaucrats behind the throne must hunt down and eliminate the cult before the unthinkable happens. If only there were someone they could trust to behead Dhalavei's cult before the assassins do the same to their beloved ruler…
The second is No Response from Deepmar. The summary from the back cover reads:
A hundred miles off the Chelish coast lies the remote island
of Deepmar, where the House of Thrune sends prisoners to work in crystal mines,
wresting valuable spell components from the depths of the earth. A month ago,
all contact with the penal colony ceased, and now someone must discover what
mysterious fate has befallen the prisoners and guards of this isolated mining
operation. The abandoned colony shows no signs of struggle yet something is
clearly not right: Herds of animals lie mutilated in the surrounding fields.
The savage beasts of the island have run amok inside the compound. And the
silent, gaping mines—each named for a different layer of Hell—lead to new
threats beyond anyone's imagining. As the PCs explore the island in search of
the missing miners and their jailers, what they discover may unhinge their very
minds. If left unchecked, the new masters of Deepmar could bring about a new
era of madness for all of Cheliax—and beyond.
Does the group have a preference as to which one to play?Based upon available characters, it looks like Kelly would play his paladin (7). Bruce has his choice of his samurai (7), magus (8) or gunslinger (7). Dave has his cavalier (8) or oracle (8). David has his fighter/ranger/barbarian (9), his alchemist (9) or his oracle (7). Alan has his cleric (9).
Randy's cavalier is still 6th. We will need to play a few more tier 5-9 or 3-7 scenarios to get him to 7th.
