[QUOTE="Libertad, post: 9193197, member: 6750502"] The teleportation feels way too deus ex machina and raises a bunch of questions. Like if the teleportation was meant to connect to the metallic dragons' home to more easily steal the eggs, you'd think that the Dragonarmies would...move them much further away? As for Paladine, there are so many things like this in the adventures (and from what I heard, the novels too) that point to him being a secretly malevolent god. You do have to wonder whose side he's on when it turns out that listening to him on multiple occasions ends up causing the deaths of innocents. I noticed, so I linked to Web Archive alternatives. Or at least the first pages of said threads. That is a possibility, but there's some strong indications that Silvara knew at the time what was going on regarding the eggs. In fact, the Dragons of Deceit adventure more or less involves her taking the PCs to Sanction to unearth this. As for why she didn't just return to the metallic dragons and inform them, this is speculation but they probably wouldn't trust her given her "oathbreaker" status and she saw the PCs as being the most reliable help for rescuing the eggs. That's a possibility, but it's never truly spelled out as far as I know. [/QUOTE]
