[QUOTE="al_fredo, post: 6108561, member: 81597"] Hi...about to run the final scene of Axis Island, and have some questions. I see this playing out in a few ways...but I'm unsure of the motivations and possible connections in further adventures. 1)PCs engage Asrabey Varal and win. - Duchess lives and goes back to Risur disgraced and stripped of her title - Nathan seeks asylum - Asrabey is captured, but let go 2) PCs engage Asrabey Varal and lose. - Does Varal play to kill? It says he tries to kill the PCs, so this could be a TPK. - He will kill the Duchess...[B]but why does he want Nathan? [/B]He hates Tieflings - and probably won't return him to Danor...or Risur. So what becomes of him? 3) PCs try to make a deal - Varal lies...and will kill the duchess. BUt my PCs will likely not let him get to his portal and give him a minute to complete the ritual. Combat will ensue, so either 1 or 2 happens above. I'll have to prep a battle map for this, I suppose (the hedge maze or the 'town')? I also have Sokana still alive...I'm not sure how I want to use her - but my party hates her. So...I guess I'm struggling with why Varal wants Nathan and what happens to him. Any suggestions/thoughts? Do either of these two show up in later adventures? I didn't anything in episode 2. [/QUOTE]
