[QUOTE="Uller, post: 7317259, member: 413"] Rolled all the encounters they will face on a weeklong trek from PN to Camp Vengence and then boosted some to make them more interesting. Crocs for hp maxxed Giant Crocs for example...all told it works out to about half their daily xp budget. Could be more in a horde of undead shows up...several encounters I just left trivial and will hand wave any combat. If it gets tedious we'll hand wave more of it. The only thing I expect to get out of letting them travel through the jungle is to help establish setting and maybe to trip some encounters with more level appropriate NPCs. The witch in Mbala could certainly be boosted to something interesting. Getting the attention of the Red Wizard lich can make things much more difficult...after all, I don't think she'll see abparty with LG paladin as a potential ally...likely I will have her try to trun some of the less virtupus party members to help her and if that fails she will acrively try to thwart the PCs to the end. Ras Nsi will likely be able to learn from them what they are up to and might actually help them but in the end he will decide the soul monger is needed to summon his dark god and will try to take it before it kills him. I'm probably going to put some flying magic items around or a scroll of teleport to help them mive faster. [/QUOTE]
