I'll go back and edit the title of the thread in a moment, but for now let's bring up some starting points.Why am I running this?I've been running 4e since it came out, but recently I've had to move away from my usual group. Happily, I've walked right into a new group gaming weekly, and so this game is going to be the second weekly game (might turn out to be fortnightly). I've only got four players, so I've said I'm going to introduce an NPC to round out the group. We've effectively starting a new campaign at 14th level and lunging right in.Characters14th level, everything in the character builder is legal, bonus Weapon/Implement Expertise feat.1) Human Avenger, Bond of Retribution build with Executioner's Axe.2) Human Wizard, Staff, going for Thunder/Lightning/Fire Powers3) Githyanki Swordmage, no further information yet4)5) NPC. Will either be a Cleric or a Archer Ranger, depending on what Player 4 decides on playing.First session is on Thursday and will be about setting the scene, dropping in the plot hook and starting the adventure. It's very likely I'll run the "Eye of Flame + Magma Brutes" encounter suggested in the module book as a warm-up fight to get the players thinking and working together. Also lots of description of the Underdark.Anyone got any brilliant ideas for Underdark locations? One thing I am going to use is the giant cavern of mushrooms with unseen creatures moving off in the distance, plus the aforementioned Eye of Flame encounter with a large pool of lava.I'll try and post up both mechanical and story-based feedback throughout the games so that everyone can see how it's working.</blockquote>
