[QUOTE="Mr. Peabody, post: 4326770, member: 60312"] Our group has spent in the neighbourhood of 60% RP and 40% HnS in this module so far (if you assume RP <> combat and that HnS = combat, which is downplaying the roleplaying potential of a good, well run combat session). I guess it comes down to what the party likes and what the DM allows. We spent bunches of time negotiating with the kobolds after Irontooth died, researching the Keep with Valithin, calming down townsfolk (after the undead appeared), talking to Lord Paddy in the inn, questioning the goblin prisoner in the torture chamber, uncovering the history of the dragon graveyard, etc., etc. And to answer the original question - yes you can play without minis. You just need to trust that the DM is 'playing fair' and giving you full value for the abilities you have. This is no different then any other version of the game. Did you need the grid in AD&D to shoot a lightning bolt or determine whether the thief could backstab? Same thing. [/QUOTE]
