[QUOTE="GorTeX, post: 4710003, member: 14624"] I've run H1,2 and 3 now (about to start P1 tommorrow). Kalarel was defeated by being forced into the portal. I brought him back as a Lich (leveled to 11 IIRC, and he had a will defense of 31..had to up his int as well) in P3, Pyramid of shadows..I had him take over the bandits on level 1 and turn most of them into Undead. To keep the exp relatively the same, I removed the werewolf. Turned out to be a great encounter (I was worried he was over powered as a Lich). I made it clear that his Phylactery was not in the Pyramid, so they will meet him again. Currently, I'm considering bringing him back as the main bad guy in P2...either that or as a more powerful version of the Lich that aids the main drow bad guy in P2. Also the elf spy in H1 (forgot her name), one of my players had 'issues' with, and as I had put a twist in that she was Kalarel's mother (he was a half-elf IIRC..if not, he was in my campaign). She was one of the skeletal archers along with Kalarel the lich...I might bring her back again as well. One other recurring thing I did...Irontooth TPK'd the original party..which was ok, as they were using the pregens anyway. So, the new party arrives (via escape from sembia--I'm running the series in the Forgotten Realms) and picks up where the other party left off. So, occasionally, I'd throw in the true fate of their 1st Characters. One had been killed outright (so his body was found when they defeated Irontooth), the rest had been captured and sold to the slavers. The dwarf was sacrificed by Kalarel. The Halfling escaped and helped them some in Thunderspire (I used him instead of the halfing in the 1st encounter). The wizard was one of the two captives in the Well of Demons end fight (the other was the sage guy from winterhaven) and got zapped durring the fight. Oh, the dragonborn's skeleton was found in the prisons on the 1st level of Shadowfell keep (in one of the cells next to Splug). [/QUOTE]
