[QUOTE="jayoungr, post: 6736846, member: 6702445"] [B]Transition from HotDQ to RoT:[/B] My group befriended the cloud giant and asked him to drop them off at Waterdeep. There may be reasons why he's not supposed to do that, but I figured the mental picture of a flying castle hovering over the city trumped that. They'd just finished a long module, and it was time to let them be awesome and celebrate. I tracked time loosely during HotDQ, which had started in late summer for our group, and I figured that it was well into winter by the time the adventure ended. So I decided the cult had a few weeks' setback caused by losing the castle, meaning the group was able to spend a few peaceful weeks in Waterdeep. I filled in most of the time with roleplaying stuff drawn from previous character interactions. This also gave me time to describe how delegates from far-off lands were arriving for the council and how refugees were coming in from up and down the Sword Coast with reports of increased lawlessness and dragon sightings. I had the first cult attack on the party happen as they were returning from the theater on the night before the first council session, coinciding with the assassination of Remalia Haventree's husband. The draakhorn also started blowing shortly before the council meeting. I made it happen on the same morning, but that was a mistake; I'd make it a day or two earlier if I were running this again. *** @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=6970472"]Vandaexpress,[/URL][/U][/B][/I] your pictures were very useful to me when running the council of Waterdeep!
