[QUOTE="FreeTheWeasel, post: 6379581, member: 6685037"] Hi RevTurkey I certainly appreciate your concern about the module. I have been very excited about the story and also a bit perplexed. Whether it is right or wrong, I have enjoyed the "opportunity" to insert my vision into the story. Here is how I plan to run the rest of the module when we reconvene in a few weeks. ------ Spoilers! Don't read if you plan on playing, especially you, WeaselGirl! (my daughter) ----- The kids have yet to do the Mill and Sanctuary missions. I'll run them pretty much as written with a lot more description of the horrible things these raiders are capable of. Here is how I plan to run the final battle. They good guys are going to loose. The front gate is going to be blown in with a terrific blast of flame and sound. Cyanwrath is going to stroll in, happy as a clam with 50 or 60 cultist, kobolds, ambush drakes, etc. and have a very pompous conversation with the governor. He is going to chide the defenders of Greenest for putting up such a poor defense and that he had really expected better. The governor will tell him to take what he wants and get out. Cyanwrath will remind him that he already has everything and now he wants entertainment. He is going to fight the champion or he is going to kill everything in sight, one by one, until he gets his entertainment. What happens next will depend on the kids, but my guess is that the Governor will tell him that he won't allow it at which point Cyanwrath will pick a random peasant within the walls, shove a sword in his hand and then cut him down immediately. If that doesn't get people moving, he's going to grab a woman next and then a small child. Basically, the players are going to absolutely hate him. Once he wins the battle with a player, he's going to demand another fight. At this point, a horn will sound in the distance signaling a retreat. Cyanwrath will leave, reluctantly. Either this or Frulam wil make an appearance and order him out. Not sure yet. We'll see how it goes. Our next session won't be for a few weeks. I'll report back. Thanks for the thoughts.
