[QUOTE="CydKnight, post: 7584134, member: 6873462"] This current group I am running through OOtA is level 4 - 5 and currently in the middle of the Darklake several days out of escaping an encounter with Demogorgon who ravaged Sloobludop. All of the NPCs they started with at Velkynvelve are either confirmed dead or missing and presumed dead. Two of the party are Menzoberranzan drow which don't quite adhere to Lolthite values but aren't exactly good in their intentions either. Another party member is a Warlock (Blade) who pledged his service to a blade touched by Eilistraee in return for aid in an arena battle that was certain death. Winning the battle was his only option not only for him to live but also for his freedom. The other two are both followers of Eilistraee attached to a hidden forest enclave of other followers of Eilistraee. The PCs have gone back and forth on their destinations throughout and are split on whether to even leave the Underdark. They did all agree on Sloobludop but now are split on whether to go to Gracklestugh, Blingdenstone, Menzoberranzan, or the Eilistraeen forest enclave on the surface. They do have a Sloobludop refugee as their Darklake guide as the only NPC at this time. The Warlock is also a Harper and a Harper mission is indirectly the cause of him being in the Underdark. He has a pendant on a chain given to him by a cloaked lady who appeared to be drow. The lady is an unknown follower of Eilistraee in Elventree (there is a shrine to Eilistraee near there). The Warlock has been tasked with delivering the chained pendant to someone in Silverymoon. What he doesn't know (and I hope he doesn't read ENworld) is that the pendant he is carrying is really [I]Moon Maiden's Song[/I], the magical harp crafted by The Dark Maiden herself and thought lost after the Spellplague. This character has been quiet lately on this but I am fairly certain he wants to complete this mission. So there are a handful of options and potential storylines to follow in our campaign for OotA. Some are as written and a few are of my own design based on input I received from the PCs before and during the campaign. Where it will go or how it will end up, I honestly don't know yet. [/QUOTE]
