Message: <blockquote data-quote="Seravin" data-source="post: 1971748" data-attributes="member: 6783">That was the last post for the next couple weeks.  I'm going away on vacation and I've got no clue what kind of internet access I'll have.For those interested, Father Dark as of this write up was a Div9/Rog3 (maybe Rog4 for the HP and skills).  Spells were used to buff himself up for and to flee - he was pretty sub-optimal for his level, but he made an appropriate challenge for the characters.Unfortunately there were a couple things working against me during the two sessions it took to explore the Blue Diamond.  First the party hit the inn at least a full session earlier then I had expected and while I knew which map I was going to use and the level of resistance I wanted to set, I didn't have everything statted.  Second, I hadn't looked as closely at the map as I should have - If a person finds the one secret door that leads to the hidden hallway on the first floor, they have a complete non-secret path all the way to the fourth basement, with only a single trapdoor hiding the path to the vault.Finally, I had planned for the party to be assaulted by the assassins that game night.  An act of desperation on their part which could have provided clues and possible evidence.  Instead the party gets the jump on them and all the big guns are detailed elsewhere.Later, I decided the bad guys would lie low after the incident at the tavern.For their part, the group didn't seem interested in pursuing the theives guild at all.  They only wanted the harp and any extra loot.  After that they just wanted to get back to the underdark.  Sadly this would end up killing two of them and provide a method of revenge for Father Dark.  I was pretty proud when Kellron handed over 75,000gp to the thieve's guild.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
