So I'm running Zeitgeist under 5e rules. I'm in adventure five, and we're about to go to the Bleak Gate compound this week. But after getting Ekossigan's location from Gale, they decided to simply tell Asrabey where he is. The told Asrabey, and I quote, "he's your problem, we don't have time to help you."
I searched through the adventure, but I can't find a contingency for this. I know Asrabey is too important and can't die. I know Asrabey is strong enough to handle Ekossigan, but not him plus 30-odd fey, plus Gale. And I really don't want Gale to die yet. I can think of three possible solutions.
A. Asrabey simply beats Ekossigan and his small army, maybe getting injured in the process. Gale escapes.
B. Ekossigan beats Asrabey but leaves him alive. Maybe Ekossigan forces Asrabey to join him in his assault on the ob, and the party finds him there.
C. Ekossigan figures out Asrabey is coming for him (because Gale told him) and gives Asrabey the slip, or speeds up his ritual.
Any other suggestions on how I should handle this?
