I'm thinking about my next #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav session.

The party sent missives to four nearby thorps and/or hamlets to recruit people to stand with them against the fire #skeleton champions and their allied #wights. The #skeletons agreed to meet at sundown to collect tribute from the local village.

I'm trying to decide how many NPCs would respond to the request for aid. Also, should the village #vampire faction lend aid?

In #P1e #Ustalav session of 17 January:

Party, NPC body in tow, encountered 3 fire #skeletons and a #wight on road between the village and the inn. #Skeleton requested parley.

Skelly said they already suffered a loss so it would grant a reprieve from demands of tribute until after the new moon (two days). Party disingenuously agreed to meet at sundown in 3 days to pay tribute.

Party had NPC resurrected by a secret high level witch.
