[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 5162865, member: 115"] The big thing to worry about with KotS is the battle against Irontooth. In general, 4E emphasizes defenders (Fighter/Paladin/Warden/Swordmage/Battlemind) being "sticky". That is, keeping enemies near them and attacking them. However, in the combat versus Irontooth, being sticky will get a defender cut down [I]very[/I] quickly. It's a sort of "gotcha" moment, and by the time groups realize it, usually the damage is done. I'd make sure to emphasize he does better when he doesn't move (ie, running around makes him unbalanced or some such). I'm running Scales of War right now, and while there are some threads between the modules, I'm finding I have to fill in a lot. I've somewhat heavily modified the meta-plot to make some of it make more sense. One big thing that I didn't realize going in is that Overlook, and not Brindol, is meant to be the PC's base of operations. Looking back, I would just use Overlook as the setting for the first adventure. [/QUOTE]
