[QUOTE="Sadras, post: 7628763, member: 6688277"] Despite the module's difficulty inexperience [I]might[/I] also be a factor. With regards to where to restart from... I'd say keep the characters, have them rescued by Delaan Winterhound (Rise of Tiamat - Council Member) with his pet Loska, who was investigating rumours of a dragon hatchery in the area. The cult has long since taken off - so the party are a tenday or so behind the Cult. The characters failed so they should have a setback of some kind besides the fact that they lost their equipment... Let them select from one or more of the below, no two characters should have the same (a) Lingering Injury: Festering Wound, Horrible Scar, Lose an Eye/Hand (think Beric Dondarrion or Jaime Lannister)*; (b) Madness (when in the presence of Frulam again): The character retreats into his or her mind and becomes paralyzed . The effect ends if the character takes any damage, [B]OR[/B] the character becomes incapacitated and spends the duration screaming or weeping [B]OR[/B] the character becomes frightened and must use his or her action and movement each round to flee from the source of the fear. Only a successful DC 12 will save at the end of the round removes the temporary madness. (c) Demoralised: Loss of Inspiration until party succeeds in their first combat encounter; (d) Hardened: Additional character Flaw or [I]negative[/I] character trait * They can have have these repaired at great personal cost to the characters - financial debt, pledge allegiance to a faction, individual which may be used for interesting roleplaying opportunities during the council meetings in Rise of Tiamat [B]OR [/B]to offset the negative give such a player a Plot Point. Also you can build up Frulam as the party's nemesis, maybe Frulam impressed by one of the party members during the combat, woke him/her out of unconsciousness in attempt to recruit him/her to the cult's cause, perhaps mistakenly providing additional information on the cult's further activities, maybe she kissed the character - being physically attracted to them...before knocking them out again for their refusal to join her. I think this is a great roleplaying opportunity to setup some great future conflict. Perhaps one of them comes back with a vision/memory from the Wall of the Faithless...did that really happen...
