[QUOTE="Sagiro, post: 6342413, member: 726"] I hadn't filled in all of the details, but had Tor not left, his connection with the Delfirians would have figured more prominently in the main plot. For Mrs. Horn, I think I planned to make her missing husband more of an important plot element. Ditto Kay and the Yrimpa. That kind of question is very difficult to answer, because I never had to make those choices. In many cases where the party seemingly had a free-will choice between two options, I usually could read my players well enough to spend more time planning the choice they ended up making. ;) So, I didn't spend a lot of time worrying about what would have happened had they let the Ventifact Colossus live and start a giant turtle rampage around the kingdom. As for the Sharshun, I would have had to move them up the timeline, but I don't know that it would have affected the Grand Plot Arc(tm) too severely. I recall that the main instances of this came with sub-plots the party chose NOT to pursue. I may have mentioned this, but I had an entire political adventure loosely mapped out, regarding the dissolution of the Guild of Chains and the push-back the party would receive from connected noble houses in Djaw. I also thought they'd try to track down the skeletal army they knew was stomping around Kivia, and had an adventure sketched out for that, but the Company never pursued either of those. Because those adventures never materialized, instead I brought back the enslaved-dwarf plot as a sidelight to the confrontation with Azhant the Ancient, and re-used the skeletal army when they were eventually used by the Black Circle to assault the Skysteel Hole. And I appreciate you taking the time to read everything! :) [/QUOTE]
