[QUOTE="GlassJaw, post: 7028141, member: 22103"] I'm currently Lost Mines of Phandelver and I'm considering leading into CoS once that's done. I've been reading the book quite a bit and one thing I don't really understand is why you would want any of the three treasures the players must find to be located in Castle Ravenloft. To me it seems that one of the big advantages of not placing the treasures in the castle is to the players will have the opportunity to explore more of Barovia. The way I'm reading the module is that the players only enter the castle at the apex of the campaign, essentially when they are able to defeat Strahd. If they determine that one of the treasures is in the castle, they may be inclined to head there before they are ready. That aside, it also means that they won't have use of one or more of the items until the end of the campaign. The items are cool enough that I'd want the players to have access to them for some period time during the campaign so they can use them. Also seems that the discovery of the items are good queues for Strahd to visit the players. Strahd may be amused by the players initially but as they discover the items, he becomes more fearful. For those that have run the campaign, have you placed any items in the castle? How did it turn out? [/QUOTE]
