I'm planning on inserting Murder in Baldur's Gate in the gap, since they should have about a week and a half to kill in the city, and that will let me have a nice sidequest. In addition, it means that whatever happens as a result of the chaos, they'll get to see the aftermath of their work when the Baldur's Gate representative attends the Council of Waterdeep in Rise of Tiamat. However, I also worry about a couple of things: 1) The length of the adventure. I read that stores ran it for ten games, which seems way beyond a 'side quest'. Though I believe that stores run games for 2 hours a session, so I'd get more done than that.2) The off-tone nature, namely the fact that for this adventure suddenly we stop talking about the Cult, and start worrying about Bhaal and politics. This isn't a problem, per se - I believe that D&D benefits from a varied tone throughout the campaign - but it is a concern in combination with number 1.So, I wanted to ask the forum - have you run this adventure? How did it go? Have you any advise for inserting it into Hoard?Many thanks!</blockquote>
