[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 7010914, member: 54629"] [b]Mission to Thay[/b] Regarding the "Mission to Thay" chapter, I was reading over it last night, and I came across part that didn't make any sense: namely, the Persuasion check the PCs each have to make after meeting with the vampire doesn't seem to serve any purpose. Ignoring the fact that it is later referred to as a saving throw, the text states that the check's [I]"outcome determines what happens to them that night".[/I] Except that it doesn't! The outcome of the check doesn't factor into the "Dreams and Nightmares" section, which states that all non-elf PCs are subjected to the dream, nor the "Outcome" section, which states that Nhy Ilmichh's response is determined by the outcome of the dream questioning. The Persuasion check is utterly pointless. If a successful check meant, perhaps, that the PC wasn't subjected to the dream, that would make sense, but it doesn't say that. As it is, I'm inclined to just skip this mission. EDIT: Never mind. It is there, in the fourth paragraph under "Dreams and Nightmares". If you pass the check, you have advantage on each check you make to answer a question put to you during the [I]dream[/I]. [/QUOTE]
