[QUOTE="Nyarlathotep, post: 235370, member: 1799"] I've been DMing this adventure for my group for the last couple of months and the group is just finishing off moathouse (we're slow... incredibly slow). While I like the adventure quite a bit, there are a great many small errors in it that make it a difficult adventure to DM. I'm posting all the problems that I've discovered to date and was hoping that you all could post any other errors and misinformation that you've found while DMing it. SPOILERS BELOW * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * [B][U]The Moathouse: (in no particular order)[/U][/B] [B]Greynor Tam:[/B] According to the description in room 30, Greynor has a key for the locked box, but it is not listed in his inventory. When the box is opened it says that there are several sheets of paper that make up Greynor's journal. If that's the case, what does the journal listed in Greynor's inventory contain? [B]Pulley Platform in area 32:[/B] There is no description for how quickly a character can raise or lower the platform, sort of an essential bit of information considering the group is attacked by a Grell while descending the second pulley. I ruled that it could be raised 20' round with a Full-round action or lowered 30' round with a Full-round action. [B]Grell:[/B] While Grells have the ability to regenerate severed tentacles in a day, I didn't see any description about severing tentacles. While playing I ruled this information on the fly, but it would have been nice to have some kind of official ruling on this. [B][U]The Crater Ridge Mines[/U][/B] [B]Temple to Moradin:[/B] The room description mentions "two large gems glisten[ing] as if on fire", but doesn't tell you in the DM's section what they are or their value. I'll post more as I find them. Please post any other things of this nature that you discovered. I'd also like some advice on how to make the Crater Ridge Mines seem more dynamic and would like to hear how you all DM'd it so that it wasn't just another dungeon crawl. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
