[QUOTE="rvalle, post: 3036358, member: 28272"] Not having the portal open yet doesn't really break anything later on. You could do this: Keep the idea of the orcs and kobolds still fighting. Pc's trying to work their way though the mess. This could take quite a bit of work as you have to go though and rearange where critters are. After a while give some sort of clue that Longtail has started to open up the portal. Maybe it takes a 24 hour ritual to open and the effects of this are felt thoughout the Region. Feelings of dread, fire coating the walls, dead things coming back to life ect. As the 24 hours count down the effects increase. If the timing works and you want to be all dramatic you can have the party show up just as he is finishing the ritual. The first thing though should be the Fiendish Owlbear. That thing is just cool. And have Longtails reactions has he realizes it is not following his commands. Don't forget... Longtail left with some body guards. If the Owlbear has not been released they will still be alive and guarding Longtail during the ritual... and maybe providing the blood needed to drive the ritual. Also: you can have the Trogs take a more active part in the fun to fill out the empty spaces. Have fun!!! rv [/QUOTE]
