So, I'm confronted with the possibility of running the Mouth of the Earth encounter in Phorros Irrendra in the near future. How did other people handle this location? Did you actually try to prepare a map, draw one up on the fly, or fake it by vigorously waving your hands?

"great stones, each one foot thick, four feet across, and nine feet high, their black surface smooth as a polished mirror but reflecting nothing" [Adventure 7, Act 1] Oh, come now. Now I'm going to be hearing timpani in my head the rest of the day. :ROFLMAO:

Dassen's crazy for sphinxes, so it might be worth putting together a few of those. Otherwise, I'm not coming up with a lot. Oh, oh, and you want catapults for when the heroes go to kill those for Duke Gallo. I did that, only without the wooden disks. Do any of your players use enlarge person...

Can someone please clarify this bit about the lift traps in Castle Korstull? The 3.5 version says, "Each trap is either immediate or lasts three rounds, and then stops for the fourth round as the lift reaches the next level." Does that mean, for example, that the summoned monster disappear the...

...not to mention the business about eternal life.... In any case: Beautiful! I think I prefer the second one, although the first one looks less Christian. A flag for a bunch of grave robbers? :ROFLMAO: That said, you've come up with an amazingly unusual flag. It really stands out. Only odd...

In the 3.5 version, there is a difficult Know(religion or history) check that tells us that the real goal of the order is to heal the heart itself to "renew the life of the land". Even the healing sect is a secret society at its heart. :LOL:

Uhm, why does the Shahalesti flag have a human face? :geek:

Neat! I suggest you cut the bottom half of the sun off in the Shahalesti flag. Then it looks like the sun rising over the sea -- appropriate, since their lands dominate the eastern shore of the continent. The Seaquen flag begs to be confused with the Shahalesti flag -- blue above blue in both...

Hi, everyone. Something I don't understand: In the discussion of Findle accompanying the heroes to hunt down the scroll to help Gorquith in the 3.5 version of the campaign, the text suggests that Findle might try to betray the heroes to Griiat. Uhm...just how is he going to do that? Does he have...

Your second option came to mind as I was reading. The bonus adventure 2, "Moral dilemmas", might work. I don't think it would take a lot of effort to move it back to the time when the eight lands were actually, you know, eight, before Steppengard's ascendance. If your players are sufficiently...

Well, after all my fuss and bother, it turned out to be totally irrelevant -- Basel cast haste, Dämmek opened the door, won initiative, hit it four times with the Living Bludgeon of Innenotdar, and rendered it inert before it got a chance to act. It was the most boring combat I've ever run. But...

Thanks for the great ideas, both of you. I'm partial to the "swallowed whole" approach -- there are some neat visuals I think I can decorate it with. Another idea that came to me while playing yesterday's session (we're in the "assassination" encounter inside a so-called secure shelter, and the...

The 3.5 version of The Tears of the Burning Sky says, "The trapped soul can take no actions other than to scream horribly as it is consumed." In other words, with a single hit and a failed save, one character gets shut out for the duration of the encounter, barring the casting of a spell from a...

Curious -- I have the 3.5 version of the campaign, and neither "Tundra" nor "Tunda" appear in the text. The only place either appears is the map, where it's called the "Tunda Mountains". So it looks to me like the text has the typo, and you spelled it right!

I keep reading "Tundaport" as "Tundraport", but the latter would have to be on Ragesia's north coast, wouldn't it? 😁

Funny -- I concocted the town of Nashamport at the mouth of the River Nasham (on the Megadon side, of course). I think I would have named Gallo's land "Alydi". Speaking of which -- @RangerWickett, is there any sort of story behind the name "Alydi"? It struck my players as a bit of an odd one-off.

I figure that the unicorn hair should let you summon Nelle like the appropriate Summon Nature's Ally spell. Seda, the seela druid in my group's party, summoned a unicorn the old-fashioned way, and I couldn't resist having it be Nelle.

Balan could potentially survive all of Adventure 4 (he did in my second campaign, but not the first -- the first was better in that regard). But mostly I just want to see a miniature with an accordion. :ROFLMAO:

So, it sounds like the heroes are going to miss out on visiting Nelle? I don't suppose it's mandatory, but at least in the 3.5 version Nelle had some useful goodies to make SCUBA-less diving a little less risky.

Your Gnomish Ranger makes me think of Rivereye Badgerface. Maybe he could have assisted with Rivereye's escape from Ragos? He wouldn't necessarily have been directly involved -- could have been running interference, pre-positioning supplies, or ready to take over leading the way over the...
