Or "we'll spend 25 years waiting for the heir despite thinking he or she is dead, but after all that if she disappears for a few months crossing the glacier she must have died".From my review of the second adventure:"Of particular note is this: the leader of the Five Storms in Kalsgard is aware from the very beginning of the adventure as to who the heroes are, due to a shape-shifting raven spy in the first encounter of the piece. However, once the group reaches Kalsgard, that knowledge is ignored, and the PCs must draw attention to themselves before their foes strike again. Given the leader is described as incredibly committed to her task – she’s waited at least 25 years here, even after probably destroying all the Amatatsu family in the attack on Brinewall – it seems unbelievably stupid that she’d not act on this information."Cheers!</blockquote>
