Message: <blockquote data-quote="Quickleaf" data-source="post: 6077577" data-attributes="member: 20323">A few behind-the-scenes notes, and prep notes for next game...Last session, Zolar the Mage rolled a 1 on a Thievery check using Mage hand to disarm some poison gas thunderstone orbs from hanging adventurer corpses...this resulted in a bunch of orbs being triggered simultaneously and a loud 'boom'. I decided this boom increased the stage of Weight of Hundred Eyes from stage 0 to stage 1 (so now all kobolds have first strike like the rogue). And, more generally, it's time to up the threat level a bit.As the group enters the Bell-Chasm District, lookout kobold slingers are going to (a) attempt to break further poison gas thunderstone orbs as the PCs pass/deal with the hanging corpses, and (b) sound a warning bell. If the warning bell is sounded, Dragonstrike Force kobold commandos will arrive to briefly flank the PCs during their encounter with Crusher's Kobolds. I used the original module and my random encounter tables as a guideline here... probably crossing the chasm I will require some kind of group check as part of the ongoing exploration skill challenge.</blockquote>
