[QUOTE="OnlineDM, post: 5629133, member: 90804"] Note really; I've had some delays in running my game. I've run the Battle of Otharil Vale, but the party hasn't gone back to Bresk yet (that will happen this Friday). So your timing is good! I did something similar, making it into combat encounters which I actually wrote up to share with others. [URL="http://onlinedm.wordpress.com/2011/07/04/free-encounters-the-battle-of-otharil-vale/"]You can find that post here.[/URL] Sounds like fun! I wasn't planning on putting much energy into setting these sorts of things up; I think I will now. I'm glad it's not just me. You mention later that the PCs started singing the Song of Forms during the battle with Madness... how in the world did they think to do that if they didn't know anything about trilliths? My party managed to completely avoid the harpies by getting flying horses via an awesome Arcana check on the Phantom Steed ritual. Good to know, as this is the next battle I'll be running. I tend to customize the monsters, but it's been a couple of weeks since I put the Tragedies together, so I can't recall exactly how I might have tweaked them. I'll be careful to make sure they can't just knock everyone out so easily. Yeah, I was worried about the number of combatants here, too. I think I might try to abstract things away to focus mainly on Madness, Steppengard, the three named nobles and the king's two bodyguards. The other bodyguards and nobles will just fade into the background. I do want to keep the threat of the king killing the nobles, with his bodyguards protecting him. And of course Madness is the big threat. The rest can probably be hand-waved. I know that I completely rebuilt Madness from the ground up. I'll have to post her re-made stat block. She will get a lot more opportunity to dominate people the way I've written her. I worry that this will be unfun for my party, but there are seven PCs in the group; they can manage even if they're frequently getting dazed and sometimes dominated. Thanks so much for your advice!
