[QUOTE="jayoungr, post: 6831263, member: 6702445"] [B]The Cult Strikes Back[/B] This was the first major happening for my group; it occurred on the night before the first Council of Waterdeep. The group was attacked on their way back from the theatre. I used [URL="http://jcarlhenderson.deviantart.com/art/Fantasy-City-Streets-no-Grid-398598117"]this map of a city street[/URL]. I majorly beefed up the encounter, putting in two black half-dragons and four or five Dragonfangs. It still wasn't a very dangerous encounter for a fully-rested party, though; it just took them a long time to wear down the attackers. I tried to make one get away, but ranged attacks ftw, I guess. I had the assassination of Remalia Haventree's husband take place on the same night, so presumably that group got away to report back to their superiors. By the way, I've been reluctant to use those dragon breath orbs because I don't really want my PCs to start carrying around bags of them retrieved from dead cultists. It does take away some of the cultists' best attacks, though. I might say they require attunement by an initiated cult member. [/QUOTE]
