[QUOTE="Vuron, post: 132523, member: 14"] Maybe the death he refers to is that of an important NPC like Drusila? Regardless it would seem that they are too poor to afford raise dead even if that is an option in the game. Quick comments: 1) While sometimes splitting the party especially in urban settings has quite a bit of versimilitude it does seem like the party is prone to running off half cocked alot ( which is the natural inclination of heroes of course) 2) The sorceror by nature and inclination seems to be the one headed for the leadership feat at the current time, I wonder what sort of cohort might be most useful (at the current time either a cleric or tank seems the most useful concerning the party's tendency for bad luck) 3) Considering the success of the wolfhounds in the militia captain's backstory I'm actually quite surprised that the party has not considered the purchase of a couple of well trained wolfhounds to help them in thier adventures. 4) I find it somewhat interesting the free market "reds" are the lovable faction while the authoritarian "greens" are the evil faction. Does this show a degree of bias concerning economics in the DM? Having read the storyhour thus far I think that we can expect to see more interaction with rival neutral parties like the aristocratic adventuring band as their status as the rightful heroes of the region are slowly threatened by these poor hillbillies ie the PCs. The PCs have also managed to get themselves enmeshed in the machinations and politics of people beyond thier scope. Perhaps the PCs will soon need to fully explore the knowledge of Drusila. Especially before one or more of them become romantically involved. Questions) 1) I assume the pendant worn by the gnoll/aristocrat has not been correctly dealt with or identified. Definitely a plot hook waiting there. 2) I am guessing that magic is intensely personal in your campaign I wonder if the party were to describe the pendant worn by the regenerating zombie if elder clerics or mages might recognize it's type and potentially it's manufacture. 3) The old peddler, his nature is very much in question, he seems benign if not completely altruisitic. Perhaps he is subtly arming the party against his enemies? He is almost definitely not quite human. I suspect that the dwarves, gnomes and elves might walk amoung the humans in other shapes ;) 4) Finally, it seems the party has tried to remains free of entanglements with greater factions, perhaps it is time for them to make conscious decisions about what path they want to pursue and join with people that can give them assistance and information neccesary to acchieve those ends, even if they mean losing some of thier own personal freedom?
