Who is this guardian?  And why can't they manage this task alone?  Afterall, 1 adult & a child blend in better than 1 adult + 1 child + 4 (or more) assorted adventurers {especially given that so many like to play things that standout - like Dragonborn, Paladins, etc}Where is this specific location?  ?: Once PPH & Guardian are safely escorted to _____, what do you envision the PCs doing?How much later do you imagine the PCs crossing the unknown city & helping her regain the throne?          Chapter ?: Crossing the Unknown City?: Other than it's big & that none of the PCs have any connection to it, tell us more about this city.* What's going on in general when the PCs arrive?* How many steps do you want to be involved in crossing the city?* Is there a time limit involved?* How are the PCs supposed to get into the palace?* What are they supposed to do once they're in?* Do the PCs have to bring PPH along on this?What happens if the PCs decide to return PPH to the palace after rescue her?How much info does PPH have concerning what's going on?     Chapter ??: The Dragon FatherIt seems like a poor lock that can be defeated with the blood of the imprisoned one's own followers.?: Perhaps the Gates were not literally sealed with the blood of 100s.  Afterall counting hard won victories by how much blood/dead they cost is a pretty common description.  Think D-Day, etc.So yes, 100's did die.  But it was mostly fighting the DF forces, beating it down, & generally buying the wizards/priests/etc the time they needed to complete their ritual.? How to re-seal the gate.The same way it was sealed the 1st time.  Except that it was done so long ago that there's no living memory of the ritual. * Perhaps a trip to an oracle or the Great Library of _____ is in order.  * And then the PCs discover that the DF Followers have thought of this, beat them there, & destroyed the records of the ritual.  (they have afterall had generations to plan their lords return you know)* As with the blood not being literal?   Perhaps the "Chain" isn't either.  Perhaps it refers to the original group of wizards/clerics/etc that performed the ritual.So if an oracle/divination etc tells you to "Re-forge the chain...."</blockquote>
