[QUOTE="lluewhyn, post: 8520620, member: 6887379"] That would make logical sense and is basically how I'm intending to run it, but I think that answer is technically wrong as far as how it's written since the adventure really tries to sell it as you can do Option A OR Option B, because the "PCs have to see that their choices have consequences". While it does allow you to do the fort first, the end result is that there will be a lot more destruction as written due to lost time. Even though Option A makes no sense for the information that the PCs have at the time. DM: "So, let me make sure I have this straight. You're going to turn around abruptly from your goal to chase after a creature that not only can travel at least six times faster than you, can fly in a straight line as opposed to having to follow along twisty paths, and also doesn't have to worry about the blizzards and avalanches you've regularly encountered in your travels. You don't know where it's going or what it's going to do, nor even what it is other than it looks like a dragon. You don't know how powerful it is or whether you can beat it, and odds are that since the various towns can raise dozens to hundreds of their residents as trained militia you deciding to confront it probably won't sway the needle either way if it attacks a town." Players: "I guess" DM:........."You have made the correct choice." And this is why I'm going to change how this section plays out. [/QUOTE]
