By the end of it, I was struggling to keep from passing out at the keyboard. Specifically, though, in looking back at my entry, I think the comment about the NPC crew not being elven enough is spot on. If I were to revise it, I'd change their personalities drastically, then steal Enkhidu's description of a living ship (that made me think, "damn! I wish I'd thought of that"). The fire newts were a problem for me. I couldn't find them in any source I had, and some time spent googling didn't turn up anything that helped. Knowing what they are now, I would have definitely turned them into worshippers of the tarrasque and/or the fire god. As for there being multiple tarrasque eggs, but the tarrasque itself being unique. Um... look, a three headed monkey! Actually, I had in my head that, were the tarrasque eggs to hatch, the strongest would end up eating its siblings. But, they've never actually hatched, so no one would actually know that. Were I were to revise the adventure, though, I'd include some comment about that, in case the PCs failed to destroy the eggs in time. I wanted to do more with the opposing party, setting up the scene for a battle, but by that time I was struggling to remain coherant, so I wrapped it up there. Nemmerle's comment that I slapped the end on is right. The same is true with ideas of how to move or destroy the eggs. Now, I can say that, beyond simply beating it to bits with high powered magic, I figured that the PCs could attempt to move it up the slope and toss it into the volcano, or they could roll it down the slope and hope that tossing it into the depths would destroy it. Whether or not the waters there are violent enough to do so depends on how much of a RBDM you want to be. I think that's about it. If anyone has any other questions, I'd be happy to answer them.</blockquote>
