Right - I have an observation. Adventure 2 Dying Skyseer is going really well in my opinion but the players are somewhat mystified. As far as they are concerned, they solved the murder int he first scene - its just a common thief killed by LeBrix. So what's the mystery? Why - after saving the world in adventure 1 - are these elite cops worrying about following some leads for this totally solved non-important case?
here is what they are saying:
PlayerA: So far our objective is a little unclear. At first, it was 'solve a murder', but Nilesa's death was justified homicide--unless we want to start an international incident. So our objective shifted to 'uncover the conspiracy via Recklinhouser', who was our best lead. Unfortunately, Porter's been ahead of us this whole time messing with our evidence, which makes it personal, and he has Super Kewl Powerz.
PlayerB: The premise isn't all that strong as of yet. Undoubtedly this will go out of control and the city will be threatened by some ancient evil or whatever etc. etc. -- but at the moment there's a criminal possibly killed by the people she was trying to rob and some other guy running away. Compared to known threats to the Flint populace, or the king, the RHC being directly targeted, etc. that kind of concrete motivation. Again I presume that's coming, but still a ways off.
Did anyone else experience this? I also have lots more handouts I can post up when I get a minute.
