Yes, I nerfed your character, who nonetheless is exceptionally powerful both in absolute terms and relative to the rest of the party.I believe that the 30 was the round that Ubaar slaughtered one of the drow boarding teams.As far as former PCs, while Rana was used to rescue PCs in one of the many separate meeting scenarios, I don't see a problem there.  As for Hermod, why not use a former PC's rich background to make a great NPC? Its not like he's been doing anything mechanically.Generally, I don't have NPCs just come in and save the day.  That would be a bad thing.  This was different.  You knew that he was going to fetch some kind of secret weapon, and you know that thats what the Kraken were there to get.  So he got there, and he used it.  If you are patient, you might find out that it has some significance. I don't see anything wrong with that.</blockquote>
