[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 7891992, member: 16069"] I'm about 100 pages in to this one, and I'll be honest I'm more than a little perplexed, and please keep in mind that I am coming from nowhere here, before I started this project the realms was a map (and nothing more) that I had seen maybe a dozen times before 5e came about. When 5e started up then I did a little more reading on the FR Wiki in order to make sense of some of the things that appeared in the various WotC hardback modules. So, here are my questions so far- 1) Malaugrym? I had to go and look them up (about 30 seconds ago) I had no idea (apart from the description in the text) what they were. Why pick these guys- surely they're very niche. 2) On page 50 (exactly- not a page less, not a page more) the Time of Troubles (maybe) starts- there's flashing lights and meteor like effects as the gods are sent to Faerun. If that's the case then what was going on in the previous novel. I read that thinking it was sent in the Time of Troubles, perhaps I got that wrong- perhaps it was just before, but I never spotted that. 3) So far, and I know I'm only 100 pages in but there's nothing much about the Time of Troubles- only Elminster (played by Selune), Sharn and the Harper hero pair doing pretty much what they did in the last one, only with different bad guys (mostly). Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the action- and the time spent with the crazy Malaugryms in their Shadow Castle with all the TVs switched to the Elminster channel but... I keep thinking I've missed something. So, without telling what goes on in the next 214 pages, can you, or anyone, tell me if I've missed something. The plot in summary is this- It's the Time of Troubles- the time is ripe therefore the Malaugrym (& some Zhent) to kick Elminster's backside, and vice-versa- time for Elminster (et al) to do for the Malaugrym. Have I got it right? Cheers Goonalan [/QUOTE]
