[QUOTE="dropbear8mybaby, post: 7205370, member: 6863518"] So, I've changed a bunch of stuff in order for SKT to make any lick of sense. I have to list a few of those things in order to ask a question about how to go about things. I took over DM'ing from someone else who ran the group I was playing in through Hoard of the Dragon Queen. Our group sided with Blagothkus and he came with us and we killed the white dragon and then pretty much all of the major dangers left in the sky castle. So I fast-forwarded things by saying that Blagothkus was now free to message his cloud-giant bros and tell them of the location of the summoning. A whole bunch of sky castles dropping rock bombs on the cultists stopped the ritual and they all went back to Parnast for a beer. My character stayed with Blagothkus because he was an aarakocra monk who loved the idea of these sky castles and wanted to learn more. The others left for Waterdeep and got their new mission: something was happening in Nightstone. Anyway, my character had a nest brother in the party and that player changed to a different character. So I had it that his aarakocra character left suddenly and then reappeared at Nighstone with Zaphyros. He said that my character had contacted him by Sending Stone to inform him that Blagothkus had betrayed him and he was in trouble so that's why he left. They met with the Zhentarim, Felgolos came along and helped them out a bit and then on finding out about the Nightstone and it's purpose (I made it an artefact of Ostoria that was lost during the dragon/giant wars and could prevent dragons from being able to fly in a large radius on activation), Felgolos flew off after it. Blagothkus was the one who took it with him and wrecked the town. Now, fast forward to going to Lyn Armaal. My old character was the one that was turned into simulacra and stuffed and mounted. They've also gone to the Eye and gotten the vengeance mission from Eigeron. And they also heard Felgolos screaming. They made a "deal" with Sansuri that she would use the conch to teleport them but she needed at least a day to contact the storm giants and warn them of their coming. She never intended to do that but she needed a ruse to get the PC's to cooperate and go to a room to be locked in for torture/questioning later. They also found out the it was Felgolos screaming and negotiated for his release, finding that Sansuri didn't know the location of the Eye of the All Father and that was valuable to her. She agreed to it and had them taken to Felgolos. But they also let slip that Eigeron's ghost was there. Blagothkus is replacing Cressaro as Sansuri's consort in Lyn Armaal. He heard them mention the Eye and Eigeron and so escorted them to Felgolos. There as an exchange and he was intimidated into agreeing to help them out to keep his secret (that he knew the location of the Eye and didn't tell Sansuri). Unfortunately for everyone, Sansuri was invisible and listening in the entire time. Once the PC's were in with Felgolos and her aarakocra had entered in behind them and closed off the exit, she told Blagothkus that his treachery will be dealt with, ordered the simulacra to imprison the PC's, and slammed/locked the door on them. A brutal battle later (I made the aarakocra into simulacra of MY 8th-level character, a monk, and 20 of them against 5 11th-level PC's, so... stun, stun, stun, stun, etc.) and two close calls, they finally defeated the birds and freed Felgolos. I've beefed up Felgolos a little bit by giving him more spells than the variant would normally allow (his 3e stats are insanely OP so I didn't go that far) and magic resistance and a bit more hit points. Enough to bump him up to 16 CR. He can regenerate his own wounds to full health and use heal on one PC. But the PCs are severely depleted even with that, having used a lot of their resources for that one battle. They've put an immovable rod against the door so that will hold it... for awhile, but not long enough for a short rest. So now my question: what would the logical next action be of Sansuri and Blagothkus after say, ten minutes had elapsed and her aarakocra hadn't reported back? [/QUOTE]
