[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7141143, member: 79141"] Kvarti is a philosophical assassin. When Rock Rackus intercedes at the arms fair, Kvarti decides to let him live. I would recommend not using Kvarti at this stage. He does come up a lot in subsequent adventures. You could always substitute someone else, but the whole point of having an established character is that he is... established. Your use of Pemberton is ideal, and doesn't risk much because your players won't be able to kill him. But each of these circumstances demonstrates the value of reading ahead. I can't emphasise how much knowledge of the forthcoming adventures improves your DMing of the earlier ones. I was originally playing as the campaign was released, but got into the habit of holding out until I was at least one adventure - preferably two - behind the release schedule. Because, like you, I would come up with novel ways to use apparently under-served NPCs only to discover they came in useful later. Of course we all make the adventures our own and if an NPC dies, you have to be imaginative and flexible. But I would only throw Kvarti into the Gala if you are really sold on the idea. (His reappearances are pretty frequent and pretty cool.) [/QUOTE]
