Message: <blockquote data-quote="WinnipegDragon" data-source="post: 3444639" data-attributes="member: 4578">*** SPOILERS FOR AGE OF WORMS WITHIN***Looking for advice here.  It's early in my AoW campaign, Whispering Cairn has just finished, and the party is moving into Three Faces of Evil.Allustan has already asked the party to investigate the temple in Dourstone Mine, but they have also been approached by Smenk, who is playing the frightened innocent terrified by the cult.  The party is smart enough not to trust Smenk, but they are also still a bit wary of Allustan, so they decided to do something unexpected:  They went to Ragnolin Dourstone and told him everything that they had been told.So, of course Dourstone plays the part of the innocent, easing their concerns and trying to assure them that this is just a political ploy against him.  One of the players is from the area, and knows that Dourstone has an impeccable reputation, reinforcing their belief that Dourstone is telling the truth.I don't think it will be too hard to get the party back on track, but how should Dourstone react?  I assume that Dourstone will inform the Faceless One and Thendrick of this, and I think that they will attempt to 'take care of' the party.  I can leave hints that tie this attempt to kill them back to Dourstone easily enough, but now the party will have serious trouble getting into the mine.  The foremen/guards will all be alerted of the party's presence so bribery is out, they will obviously not be able to take jobs at the mine, and there is no way the Fighters are going to sneak in.  Frontal assault will just end up getting the militia involved, so how else are they going to get in to find the Dark Cathedral?  I'm a bit stumped.The next session is this Friday, so I could use a few ideas to help me get through this.Thanks in advance!</blockquote>
