[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 2819476, member: 35788"] Well, okay. Now that I am sure Ferrix and JonnyFive are not too concerned about the game being dropped - since both have been on and not posted here - I'll assume this game is officially dead. That being said, the party was in fact being led into a harpy nest. I had wondered if it was obvious from the CR and the fact that the party was led away by singing. Actually, this was just the beginning of a really cool plot line. Once Eva was slain - most likely falling off the edge of a cliff at the whim of the harpy since here WILL save was just horrible - the party was going to meet up with a nervous human male. Well .. at least he appeared human. As to whetehr or not he actually was human .... anyway, I digress. The human was going to be part of the harpy's "food store." Barely alive. The hook was for Kiera to be able to heal him just enough for him to indicate that if they can free him, he can be a guide out of the harpy's domain. He planned on helping the party until such a time as he earned the party's trust. The catch is, once he earned the party's trust he was going to ever so cleverly lead them into Quehalost on a scouting mission. He'd know enough of the rights ways to go to make the party grateful he was along, but there'd have been enough intention "close-encounters" with the wrong kind of folk to help the party believe that he was honestly on their side. Eventually, the party would have been led into the man's trap: Devils. And a mighty big nest of them, too. Of course, that is all assuming the party wanted to follow the man. As the party demonstrated earlier: they weren't going to bite on the gnolls in the cave (although if Yavarin or anyone else would've climbed down they'd have found humans that needed rescued - and enough adventure to get them to the next level) they weren't going after Mayhem (although if they had they might've gotten into enough trouble that they'd have leveled twice to get free of Mayhem - or died trying.) and they weren't about to even try to free the Drakontos villagers of the grasp of the Black Dragon. Not that challenging the black dragon would've been wise - because It'd have been a TPK all the way. But convincing a few of the villagers to flee might've proven interesting. I think Cassient would've played a huge part in this and unfortuantely this path never unfolded because that was when Eluvan went AWOL. Had Eluvan actually stuck with the game that might have come out more in the conversation. ... so, I guess the likelihood of the party actually following the man was really unlikely after all. But I honestly did have things planned for you all to do if you'd have wanted! [/QUOTE]
