[QUOTE="Demetrios1453, post: 6699527, member: 6801060"] I got mine on September 4th at my local store and have now run two sessions. During the first session, they were introduced one by one as they were taken prisoner (using the d10 roll for how many days they have been imprisoned), met up with the NPCs, and were forced to do the typical menial tasks for the drow. One of the characters is a bard, so the drow priestess thought it would be fun to have him play dinner music one night, and he was of course beaten for any sour note. They thought it would really be amusing to make the half orc paladin dance, but he rolled competently, so, disappointed, they forced the dwarf druid to dance. Again, the player rolled well, so, deprived of their hoped-for amusement, everyone was beaten anyway. The party escaped during the demon attack, but the poor warlock attracted attention of a giant spider in jumping down into the webs and nearly died. They then escaped into the Underdark aiming for the unpronounceable and unspellable kuo-toa city. During the second session earlier today, I had them go through the Silken Path mini-adventure, where the tiefling sorcerer skated off the web strand out of control and right into another giant spider nest (spiders don't like her as she pried the jewels from the Lolth shrine back in the first settlement during the escape). Lots of fun was had as players and NPCs attempted to jump between the webs, with several failing checks and falling some distance below into the webbing. The quaggoth NPC persuaded the quaggoth slaves of a random encounter drow to turn on him, and then sent them off towards the drow pursuit party. As they paid the goblin web surfers more than what they had originally promised, the goblins also promised to lead the drow pursuers astray. Needless to say, those drow are even more hugely angry at the party now. Upon reaching the unpronounceable kuo-toa settlement, they helped unpronounceable kuo-toa priest A defeat unpronounceable kuo-toa priestess B. But then the Big D arose out of the water - and my players freaked out! It was awesome! The warlock, impressed by a powerful entity's presence, decided he would try to commune with him, which meant automatic extra Madness Check (which he failed), my half-orc paladin was torn between charging recklessly forward or trying to shepherd the NPCs out of town - it was basically mass chaos. They are now all 3rd level, furiously rowing across the Darklake away from the unpronounceable settlement on boats commandeered from the kuo-toa as the Big D destroys the town behind them. Both my players and I are having a great time, and everyone is remarking how good the adventure is so far. [/QUOTE]
