Chimes at Midnight scaled for 8th Level ...

[Nlogue]

They went to Hell's Heart on an un-related matter for House Medani and were thinking of Viktor, so they petitioned to see him. Now, the thing is that a couple people in the party still respected him even after the events of Chimes at Midnight. So he's brought out there and seems whacked out of his gourd on whatever medications they suppossedly have him on, and his only coherant phrase is "We had cake today!". I pulled out the most horrific 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' imagery I could muster and they left feeling sorry for him. One guy wanted to kill him just to spare him the humiliation.

When they put things together later and go to visit him a second time, and confront him with various things and he grins, obviously not a drooling idiot, one guy goes "That's my man, Vik! I knew they didn't break him!"

Delicious! It's so important to have villains who command the PCs respect. You gotta post me more splendid tidbits after you run Hell's Heart Wayne (and everyone!).

I'm just about to start running Chimes and Quoth next week. I'd love to get my hands on Hell's Heart before then...

Here's hoping! Don't worry though, until the end of Chimes, there is little that can derail possible Hell's Heart fun, and even so, it's all fixable somehow. But I hear ya, I'll be happy when people can just have all three in hand so they can tweak and play with him however they want from day one of the arc. Enjoy blargney! If you need a hand with anything or have any questions just post em up here and I'll be happy to chime in, and I'm sure other DMs who've run em can offer some great insights like those posted above here.

Are there any NPCs from the first two adventures that Hell's Heart really needs to function?

Try not to kill off Scrimshaw...but hey, he can be replaced if necessary (there's a sidebar about this). I think that's it. You may want to leave Rregla alive for another adventure I'm working on right now, but truth be told, I don't even know if this one will see print...so fear not.

Cool, thanks Nicolas! I'm going to run these adventures, the Shards mini-path, and Voyage of the Golden Dragon simultaneously. Temple of the Scorpion God mixes perfectly with Voyage, and a failed/completely missed Pit of the Fire Lord makes a great setup for Quoth. The whole mixture was inspired just by reading Quoth, and I'm seriously looking forward to running it.

Sounds like a brilliant mix blargney! Enjoy!

I just read the whole trilogy, and I am really impressed with it. Mr. Logue, you remind me of why I loved Batman: the Animated Series. I need to step up my game for the adventures I'm writing from now on.

Thanks for some good stuff.

My pleasure Ranger! Thank you for the very kind words! You made my day!

Yeah, I'm sad to see Viktor go. But new vistas, and hopefully new diabolical villains await. I can't wait to write more Eberron adventures, but none in the pipe right now. I need to submit a ton to DI.

I'd love to see a couple of adventures that stepped a bit over the level 10 barrier that seems to have afflicted Eberron adventures so far.

I have two dooozies above ten. One is twelfth, the other is fourteenth...both very tasty. One is my favorite adventure of all time...here's hoping. I'll submit them soon.
