[QUOTE="shilsen, post: 3035680, member: 198"] The Marches was always on the calendar since the Gatekeepers got involved, but the tower thing came up up pretty recently. The players had been talking about it and I suddenly remembered my other group having taken out the Emerald Claw at the Gray House. The fact that Balan Cord was the one who'd sent the Blades there was really serendipitious, since it happened 2.5 months ago in-game and nearly a year in real time, and considering that the Angels gave him some valuable info very recently. I'm curious to see what the PCs do with the place once they get their hands on it. Hot, sweaty, and very dangerous? We had the first session in the Shadow Marches on Saturday and ... well, let's just say that the group had their toughest fight since getting taken down by the goblinoid strike team while tailing Raskalorn. We're not playing again till the 16th, plus I'm in the process of shifting apartments and started teaching my two classes for the semester yesterday, so I'll be spacing the updates out a bit. They're 9th lvl at the point you're reading, but hit 10th after our last session. They're also significantly ahead of the core power curve for their level, due to starting with high stats (80 pts distributed among their stats, which worked out to anywhere from 36 and 42 pts of point buy), higher than usual equipment, using a fair bit of non-core material and me tweaking existing mechanics to work with character concepts. And with two druids, a wizard and a multiclassed cleric in the group, they are truly heinous when they get a chance to buff up, which they've had a lot of recently. But so far I haven't had any trouble challenging them, even when I use lower CR creatures and mostly core material (both of which I prefer to do most of the time), so I have no problem with it. And the players get to play powerful PCs, which they like, while getting the flavor they want, so they're happy too. It's worked out pretty well. [/QUOTE]
