This blog will start off as a dedicated blog for my 4e D&D Eberron campaign, "The Dragonthrone Heirs." I suspect it will grow to cover other things in time.

Chapter Three DM Comments

This session was a lot of fun to run. The PCs had a lot of stuff going on subplot-wise, and I really enjoyed giving each of them a chance to do some stuff. Malkaius had a great conversation with Captain Folston about various and sundry, and that discussion sparked a number of potential plot hooks.
Malakith had a chat with a fellow Blood of Vol devotee, and that also sparked some subplot potential (and indirectly provided possible next steps for the group).
Zenya and Diesa also had something to do, though not quite as much. I need to work on getting them both more involved.
As for the combat encounters, the venture into the sewers went pretty well, but I could have balanced it better. The first encounter was against one dire rat and several giant rats and it was far too easy for the group.
The second encounter, though, with one deathjump spider, two dire rats, and three giant rats, was much harder for the group, partly because the DJS was rather powerful and rolled well on its attacks.
The third encounter with the sewage elemental was easy by comparison. I'll continue to work on making each and every encounter challenging to some degree.
Other than that, I think it was a session that went very well, notably because of how late we played. Coffee around 11:00 for some of the players helped a lot.
