I included her because, in my head, I was running the scenario and a cranky ghost channeled through. Honestly, however, she's completely unnecessary to the scenario. She doesn't really add anything, and snowball throwing orcish ancestors would probably be more interesting than a violent boulder-dropping poltergeist. Another 24 hours and she'd have been neatly excised from the equation.Wishing On A Mountain: The extra space given by removing Irene would have been best put to use giving some backstory on the wish-giver at the mountain top. I really should have given some time to the orcish mythology... it could have worked pretty well to have the duty-bound servant of a whimsical orcish god up on that peak.Teleport: Yeah, the bonus teleport was tacked on. I got desparate <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />. I'm still at a bit of a loss on how to include it without making the scenario stink of cheese, particularly given the target party level of 4-6. Maybe a teleport trap on the way to the duty-bound servant that would set the victim back at the bottom of the last cliff (a ravid to test orcish strength, a teleport trap to test orcish cunning?). As a side note... the ravid doesn't die of exposure because its master only sends it to the pass when someone is coming up the mountain. Poor wee thing.Slaves Yearning Free: Okay, I didn't explain this very well, but here's the paragraph that should have been in there:So, I guess in summary, I coulda done better. I hope I do in round 2 <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.</blockquote>
