Players tend to worry overly about their characters dying, I have no idea why- players are just odd that way.Although your guys must have gone to town if they got through the encounter in 4 rounds, good work.As for Splug- in one run through he served as a Javelin thrower (who got to save the day at least once), in another I played him as a Marxist revolutionary who never fought anything, but had the info and so the players needed to put up with him- basically he knew where every passage way went (more or less). The later was just a chance for me to yell revolutionary slogans and make the players giggle- although in the end several players did gang up on Splug and explain the difficulties of Marxism in a Capitalist society- forcibly, with hammers. Splug appeared again later in their adventures as a Paladin of The Raven Queen- all the life had gone out of him, a kind of moping Paladin.If I were in your shoes, with a Splug in the hand as it were, I'd save him till he was needed- if the appearance of Splug and a fudged (or not) dice roll will save the PCs neck then you've got it covered. If not then have him standing by his Dark Master Kalarel with something from one of the PCs (skin/hair- the voodoo thing) and make that PC suffer a little more. Either that or to Thunderspire for the lad.Thanks for sharing.Oh, more of it...H1 Keep on the ShadowfellEncounter #17 Area 12: Hobgoblin Guard RoomRound #6.HG1- DEAD.HG2- DEAD.HG3- DEAD.HG4- DEAD.HG5- DEAD.DJS- Prodigious Leap- Shift 12 back towards Cage- wants to go home.Grey- Shift.
