[QUOTE="The_Universe, post: 1979382, member: 8944"] All of that was taken care of during the session, before we started to montage. Penny is a capable spellcaster, and she had (at least) a dozen shadows with her, as well as an Apectan Cleric, in case healing was needed. I had you all make spot checks before you left the broken tower of Khaz Barok (no one noticed anything out of the ordinary), and I even had Archonus make an extra search check, since he declared that he was still searching the area. You had no reason to suspect foul play, and proceeded as such. Penny could have alerted you (had she been able) with any number of spells, and even if she had been given some more mundane messengers (carrier pigeons?) news would not have reached you until Penny does. It has been suggested that Justice could have cast Status on Penny before she and the group parted ways - assuming that the spell was still prepared (if it ever was prepared) after finally winning free of Khaz Barok. Assuming that even all of that happened despite your initial declarations, Penny travels normally for 16 hours, and then the spell winks out, normally. She's almost halfway there, and nothing has happened Make no mistake - this is [B]not[/B] the repercussion for a poor decision on your parts. It was perfectly reasonable for the PCs to be focused on more immediate concerns over the orb, which was (at best) a side issue. Had you chosen instead to focus on the orb, many of the other events of the past few months would have progressed in a different way (a great many of them not good). [/QUOTE]
