I think it would be much more interesting in the context of having it follow the caravan episode, what with the cultists seeking revenge and all of that. For my group, because we deviated, there wasn't a lot to it. They waited until dark, searched the place, found the locked door, picked it, killed the lizardfolk in a handful of rounds and moved on to the next chapter. Granted, we had just segued from Murder in Baldur's gate which had a lot more intrigue at a broader scale than the spy mission at the roadhouse, I think that's why it fell flat for us, just because we had gone off the rails.When I could see that they weren't really interested in what was going on there, I ushered them as quickly as I could into the swamp, where things have picked up a bit.</blockquote>
