[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7197003, member: 7006"] Apparently no one ran into the same issues you have with it. Or else they just worked around them like you seem to have to. You're the DM. You can do whatever you want. If you want to remove Elia's distrust of dwarves, then you can do that. If you want her to damand an apology from Connerad Brawnanvil, then you can have Brawnanvil apologize. Or you can just choose not to have Brawnanvil at the council that time for whatever reason (like he's off doing something else while it's happening). Or Elia can put aside her differences with dwarves for the greater good of what's going on. Or you use Elia's distrust of dwarves as a roleplay encounter to have your dwarven players interact with her and seem if they can win her trust. I mean, you can do whatever you want-- just because the book says one thing doesn't mean you have to go along with it in the slightest. Just know that if you (for whatever reason) feel beholden to follow what the book says to the letter and you're unwilling to re-write things so they make better sense [I]for your story[/I]... then be prepared for them to go in the directions you hope they don't. Your PCs will often go down the path of least resistance... so if you have these roadblocks up in the direction you'd prefer them to go, you're better off just moving those roadblocks out of the way. Which is fine, because you're the DM. [/QUOTE]
