[QUOTE="eamon, post: 6900827, member: 51942"] Well, they have [I]some[/I] hint that axis island isn't just a research base in the form of the broken tree they witness early on, and the fact that flight magic ceased suddenly. They've definitely picked up on the latter, but not quite on the former, fortunately! So I should be OK dropping hints in adventures 4-6 that the planes have been linked to the material plane by ancient magic, and that avilona's link is damaged or decaying. I've just got to think of some suitably obscure way to work that in. That way, adventure 7's big reveal - that the ob thinks it can link to *different* worlds is still somewhat novel, and indeed the implication that this may affect the material plane dramatically might not be entirely clear before then. And it doesn't even hint at axis island. I think I might let Ashima-Shimtu mention that knowledge comes at a price, as Furioso learned. But sometimes it comes unbidden, as his servant learned. Her price, of course, will be really quite reasonable :-). And we'll see if that leads them to Willigu, who may just know why his forefathers master lost his flight. No need to mention the axis seal; and the PC (who's obsessed with flight and Gale) get's to learn something without significantly derailing the campaign. [/QUOTE]
