[QUOTE="Daern, post: 6766477, member: 81800"] Gracklestugh is indeed written by a mad derro. I think the best way to go is to allow for multiple avenues into the same find the Derro quest. ( It would be even better if there was a clear sense that he was spreading demon corruption as he went. Two-headed Demogorgon worship is heretical to the devil worshipping duergar. In my campaign, the heroes have seen a lot of two headed art around the Derro ghetto.) The Captain, Dragon, priest, or even the Salt Barron can send the heroes after Drokki. He has become noticed as a wild card in town (the Gray Ghosts cant totally control him) so he needs to be dealt with. One thing to play up is that the Undercity of the Derro is super volatile, so the regular emissaries of the Duergar or even the dragon cannot enter the ghetto without sparking a minor civil war. Its super frustrating. I have only gotten to these ideas after DMing a couple sessions and stumbling through it. There is also the question of why? Should the players get distracted by this sidequest? One is that they have been arrested. I have told them that they will not be easily allowed to escape without doing a favor for the duergar, but if they do then they will be given supplies. I had the Salt Baron give them a map as well. here's a link to a blog I found that has write ups of Gracklestugh sessions. [url]http://www.firstsightsecondthoughts.net/?p=1145[/url] [/QUOTE]
