[QUOTE="Erik Westmarch, post: 6868562, member: 6815948"] Regarding how difficult the hags are, I agree that attacking a whole coven of witches simultaneously in their home should be dangerous. But there's no reason to do that! The hags seem to somewhat regularly go out to the towns to sell their pastries, and there's probably a few pastry addicts that know their routines by heart. There are opportunities to gather intel and learn their habits. They can be ambushed on the road when alone. Downgrading them from night hags to green hags might still be a good idea, depending on what sort of weapons the PCs have access to. Are there opportunities to get silvered weapons? I don't remember at the moment. However, I'm also going to make it difficult to decide whether to kill the hags. I've decided to run with the idea of the three Fanes, and the hags are trying to take control of the Swamp Fane themselves. They'll offer they know a way to weaken Strahd and will assist the PCs in defeating him in exchange for the PC's help converting the Swamp Fane to their control.
