[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7523218, member: 79141"] First of all, it's very kind of you to give me XP for cutting and pasting your own words from the adventure (although I did have to painstakingly change the tense from present to past). There's more of the same in the next report! I guess that speaks to the passive nature of this scene. I was very much aware that the players wouldn't get that much chance to act, which is why I devoted the first half of the session to downtime. They had lots of time to stretch their legs before entering the vehicle! Another thing that worked in our favour: only 4 out of 7 players were present, so there were fewer egos jockeying for Brakken's headspace! My players are also very much invested in the story, and enjoy watching it develop. I made sure to keep things moving, with conversations interrupted just as they were about to interject, which if anything added to the sense that they were mere passengers, or hostage to events. We were on a timer, by this point, so I had to keep the symposium feeling pacey. They really loved the moment when Nicodemus lost it and started screaming in frustration at the attendees. And I enjoyed revealing Sijhen again! Two quick notes: 1. I added Vlendham Heid's reference to Bhad Rayzhavdut. The timeline for him leaving the symposium (following the trauma of the Godmind) and appearing in northern Drakr in time to send the mystery box is a little tight. If I stick to the adventure as written, that would happen in maybe two weeks' time (unless I'm misreading something). So I thought it would help if I foreshadow it, and maybe put off the delivery of the box until deeper into adventure 11. 2. Korrigan was really interested in finding out what precautions the Ob had put in place to fend off a hivemind, but I was unable to supply any details. If the Ob can manage that (albeit thwarted by the presence of sijhen) why haven't they spread the knowledge throughout their allied nations? Anyway, we really enjoyed the session. A bit of readaloud text is fine every once in a while! [/QUOTE]
