[QUOTE="Demetrios1453, post: 6932413, member: 6801060"] So, ran another session today, the second half of the "Go around the North completing side quests at level 6" section. A good time was had by all, especially during the Carriage House caper in Silverymoon, where the party's plan went completely awry (give the guards food poisoning to incapacitate them) due to the guards not being human after all (cambions are resistant to poison), followed by a memorable polymorph cambion to vampire spawn wild surge... But the reason I'm posting is to follow up on the results of some of the things I had suggested. Seeding hints about Harshnag paid off, as they began to actively ask questions about him among the sages of Everlund and Silverymoon, and thus when they did meet him at the end of the session, it wasn't a completely out-of-the-blue [I]deus ex machina[/I]. Moreover, the sages also mentioned a mysterious giant oracle somewhere in the Spine of the World, so the party immediately asked Harshnag concerning it (and he responded that visiting it would be an excellent idea). Finally, having gone to Yartar twice now, they have already interacted with Lord Drylund and have actually taken a trip on [I]The Grand Dame[/I], so that is fully seeded for when Serissa gives them the golden goose token clue. So, if you want to run SKT as written, make sure to do these and it should definitely smooth some of the slightly rougher edges already discussed concerning the adventure. I'm going to make sure Harshnag does discourage the party from going in gung-ho when it comes to the storm giant section, mentioning that summarily murdering members of the royal family would probably not be a good way to get on the good side of other members. Beyond that, they already know the name of the hill giant chieftain Guh, and know that a fire giant duke has been sending out groups to find pieces of the Vondidod. I believe that they currently think that the latter is going to be the focus of the campaign, given their questions to the various sages they've consulted, so I'm quite amused by the possible misdirection...
