Yep, I know. two minutes, but that last copy-paste and formatting gave me issues. My apologies.

5 + 1 Wizards The Wager's Corollary If the Gods are real, so are their Myths Ingredients: Doomsayer Starless Stream Hungry Darkness Forged Pardon Dry Water Arcane Gambler Setup: You and your friends are relaxing in the beergarden of the Red Dragon's Inn by t he Ållmaiden River...

One of the key things to remember between 3.x and 5e is that the monsters got *greatly* simplified. As an example, take a look at the number of action choices available to an Ancient Red Dragon between the two editions. You may still wish to use the class levels, but you're better off focusing...

Checking in.

Sorry, yes, tommorrow at Ten is fine. I may not be able to check in before then, but I will have time to write, so if I don't checkin, go ahead and start the clock.

That sounds fine by me.

Heh. In terms on importance to the overall plot, those issues are almost directly inverted, in my opinion. 1) As has been mentioned in the "Enhancing HotDQ" and "Enhancing RoT" threads, Blagothkus' primary motivation is trying to unify the giants. He was hoping to do this through the Cult, in...

I'm in.

All of this has raised a question I haven't seen answered in the FAQs yet (or I missed the details): A character with a 20 hp maximum and 5 points of damage (15/20) is hit by a lifedraining attack for 10 hp. Is the characters' hp total now 10/10? 5/10?

And with that, we should be caught up. I'll be taking a little break as I work up the first of the DMs Guild expansions.

Battling Tiamat - The Temple (The Upper Floors) The Great Apse Any character that makes an active DC 20 Perception check can determine that they can see through the disks, and that what they see on the other side of the disk does not match the inside of this temple. In fact, the characters...

Battling Tiamat - The Temple The temple in the caldera of the Well of Dragons is the same temple that marks the center of Tiamat's realm on Avernus. The Red Wizards' ritual has brought it here to act as a beachhead and beacon for the Dragon Queen, melding it into the caldera floor in the...

Battling Tiamat - Facing Tiamat (Doing this a little out-of-order, but the Temple Interior is where all the complex shtuff happens, and it's getting late, so...) Facing Tiamat When the forces of good have been deployed and the battle begun, the characters will take on the most important goal...

Battlling Tiamat - Approaching the Well As the characters and the forces commanded by the factions of the Council of Waterdeep approach the Well of Dragons, they should have no doubt that they are moving deep into enemy territory. The landscape for a hundred miles in all directions is a grim...

Battling Tiamat - Objectives The characters are an integral, even pivotal, part of a large Alliance of forces. To succeed at preventing Tiamat's Return, the Alliance needs to succeed at a number of objectives - the players, acting as the Alliance Lords may assign those forces to one of more of...

I've got bad news all. Not terribly bad, but I apparently did not write down *all* of the revisions. I've got the Ritual Guards, and the half-dragon devils. I did not write down the "statue" version. (Sorry Jay.) So I'll have to reconstruct some things. However, I still remember the basics so...

The Devilish Influences - Merisal's Schemes Death at the Council This adventure is intended to be run just after the First Council, while the characters are in Waterdeep reporting on the results of their first mission. When the Cult of the Dragon contacted the devils of the hells for their...

Yes, lots of improvisation, especially with regards to the dream sequences. Keep in mind though, that Mission to Thay is supposed to be the last mission before the assault itself - it's one of the reasons its so short, to pick up the pace as the characters get nearer the climax. If you want to...

The Devilish Influences - Lord Volmer's Schemes Devilish Demands Shortly before the Alliance calls the First Council, but after the characters have arrived in Waterdeep, they are approached by someone who is obviously a noble's servant. If the characters push for more information, Daethun...

The Devilish Influences - Introduction Introduction Tiamat is using the Cult of the Dragon to enter Faerun in a bid to consolidate and grow her power. After mortal ages striving and scrambling in the Nine Hells, her recent upsets have convinced her that her efforts elsewhere have cost her too...
