So next session (or sometime soon) i want the players to find this map in Feathergale. Now I admit I have not read the entire module front to back. I've skimmed it all and read portions here and there. But I wanted to give them some more concrete hints, particularly the Devastation Orbs, knowledge of a Medusa Prophet at the Black Earth, and an unknown entity at a previously unknown place called Scarlet Moon Hall. I think next time the PCs return to Red Larch, or maybe after they wipe out The Howling Hatred, I'm going to have that storm elemental obliterate the town of RL and wipe it off the map, killing many of the NPCs there.
So is there anything else interesting I can add to this map? (the edges got clipped, but it spells out Beliard and Shatterkeel)
Don't forget the Temple of the Howling Hatred connects to the other temples so they could find themselves in a werid spot were they like go through the Water Temple and take the River exit out and end up in Riverguard.
yeah i noticed how the air temple connects to the others. That could be so, so difficult if they went down one of those path prematurely.
It's very easy in PotA to get in over your head very quickly. I lost half the characters two weeks ago because they went into the temple of howling hatred while they were still 3rd level. The others escaped, but only by the skin of their teeth, if the dice had gone slightly differently there would have only been one survivor.
I think this is a good thing - as players knowing that there is a real chance that their characters might easily die adds a good level of tension. It's just a shame - I'd worked out good character arcs for the campaign that will now never happen.

But that would give them a good reason to back off and try something else if they feel overwhelmed.
