[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 7582238, member: 10503"] Even though I've run this adventure for five or six groups already - when you sit down to translate every word and sentance, there are some oddities that creep up. Here are two: 1. In the beginning of Act Two it says "Peppin is dead, slain by agents of the elvish nation of Shahalesti." But if the Shahalesti spies killed Peppin, why does Larion believe that Peppin is one of the party members? Surely he would be informed about the killing of Peppin? 2. Later in Act Two the party comes to the Gatemakers shop and encounters the secret entrance in the alley and meet with Kurychek. If they accept his help, he show how evil he really is by using an innocent child to achive his goals. But what happens here really? It states that Kurychek is knowledgeable about the planes and "can easily solve the riddle". But he "also knows the door is trapped". So he gets the girl to press the buttons and get poisoned. But why would the trap be sprung if the correct sequence is used? And why would the door open if the girl pressed the buttons in the wrong order. I cannot figure out the details here. Anyone wants to help me out here? On the first point, I'm thinking of just changing it to some nameless ragesian agent killing Peppin. But the second point has no clear solution. I love the scene, but how to explain those details properly? [/QUOTE]
