[QUOTE="Joseph Lieberman, post: 6797867, member: 6810503"] Thanks guys! Iraelaemei - Depending on how you like to DM, you may be best off guiding the players better than I did. I kind of let them off the leash and they have done a number of surprising things (mostly deciding to go to Blingdenstone first). Since it is our first 5e campaign I have tried to modify things on the fly with regards to difficulty, so I am not 100% certain its accurate, but it seems to me Blingdenstone (being the last location in the first half of the book) is full of some of "out of depth" enemies. Anyway, the moral of the story is I may have been better off guiding them towards Sloop first. Instead I have decided that while they can do some of the events and adventures of Blingdenstone eventually they're going to have to go to Neverlight Grove to get supplies. Possibly even give them a quest from the Diggermattocks to go to Grack on their behalf as well. Basically my plan is that Blingdenstone offers to get them to the surface in exchange for their service. While in the service of Blingdenstone they will be clearing and securing a long lost path that they found in their maps. More or less that is the plan at this point, but I have great fears my off-leash group will pull another rabbit and decide to do something unexpected. "Lets go to the City of Spiders!" "Screw you guys, I quit." [/QUOTE]
