[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6640572, member: 57383"] The bit about the Slaad Lords in [I]TFtIS[/I] that I didn't like was all the "secret of the Slaad's true form" stuff in that adventure. I guess we could mention that Slaad Lords bound him as a guardian. It depends on how much of the original background information we want to keep. Let's see...
