Everytime a PC is brought back, a paladin of Mr. Resetti appears and harangues the player for 1d4 x 2 minutes, times the total number of times their character has been revived.
So what does your assassin do if combat isn't an option? If I was a player in your game and needed to reach a heavily defended target, sometimes disguise is a better idea than stealth.
Try these, its a retooled version of the hooks designed to be handed out to the players without spoiling any of the adventure:

The term 'Class' doesn't exist in universe (unless you're referring to the nobility), but the classes themselves do. They have too much specific fluff not to. A random cutpurse probably won't appreciate being called a rogue, but you won't be wrong, either.
The lines get blurred if you're just...
I went to poke around the FR wiki just to see if there was any clarification on what made someone your patron deity:
That seems to require both active worship before death, and toeing whatever the party line is. Having to petition also suggests that deities don't stop by and scoop up everyone...
Up until we started getting more information about the contents, I had been hoping that the SCAG would be detailed enough that I could use it as my primary source on the Realms instead of having to dig around 20+ years of material. As is, its got enough information to be useful, but not enough...

1. Paladin knows a lot of about military history, but can't...
Yeah, what I keep thinking they mean from the quoted bit from the book is that if you arrange the 4 main symbols in some fashion (without the little wedge blocks that particular image puts them in), you get that eye symbol, or at least something eye-like...
Maybe I should tweet at Mearls and...
So I tried just directly overlaying all 4 symbols, using the ones found in the corners of Mike Schley's maps. Here's the result. I can't say it looks like any of the symbols depicted in the book, nor any of the ones I see on Google for Ghaunadaur or Tharizdun. Kinda looks like the symbol of...
