Author Richard Pett gives me the creeps... but in a good way! His horror masterpiece, Rise of the Runelords Chapter 2: "The Skinsaw Murders" was one of the freakiest adventures I have ever run. His portrayal of a spree of murders and the ultimate confrontation of the murdered in a haunted house was one of this industry's best horror moments. So when we tapped Richard to write our annual horror-themed Pathfinder Module, I was excited. And Pathfinder Module: Carrion Hill delivers in reams of heartstopping terror!

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 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.
