[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 6762513, member: 54629"] On page 31, it says that Rezmir buys five wagons from Selebon, but on page 33, it says the caravan consists of [i]"the three wagons of the Cult of the Dragon plus 2d4 more."[/i] How many cult wagons did other people go with? Also, I feel like making it so Rezmir doesn't ride ahead of the caravan. Instead, she'll go by ship (one that's owned by the Redlocks patriar family, which the PCs can fine out either by asking around or by getting a look in the harbormaster's magic record book [see MiBG]), perhaps with some of the choicer bits of treasure. That way she can get to Waterdeep even faster. Another issue is that while I get the impression that the PCs are supposed to spend part of the trip trying to figure out who the cultists are, it says on page 31 that they can apply to get hired as caravan guards after they've [i]"identified the cultists' wagons and seen their arrangements."[/i] Since the PCs have hired urchins to keep a lookout, I think they'll easily be able to tell which wagons have the cult loot in them ... unless I make it so some of the cult wagons are from group's other than Rezmir's. So maybe they identify the 3-5 wagons that Rezmir bought, but there are a few more from other groups. I've already had a Harper agent inform the PCs that the cult is bringing in cargo from all over, including from the Moonshaes and even up from the Underdark. Some of it might go on ships, while some might go by land. It makes sense that they'd split it up a bit so if a ship gets sunk or a caravan gets attacked by monsters or whatever, they won't lose everything. It also makes it harder to track it all. What do you guys think? [/QUOTE]
