Message: <blockquote data-quote="DarrenGMiller" data-source="post: 2430389" data-attributes="member: 23174">If they actually go, they will be going for the "cool, I wonder what's in there" value.  The name of the area intrigued them, plus they have heard about the undead treants and are thinking about the xp value (I actually saw the "xp lights" in their eyes).  They will find two destroyed towns on the way there that the BBEG has taken out the entire town.  They will see his power and ferocity and then, if they keep going, they will run into increasing numbers of his minions.  Lots of undead... HUGE undead (skeletal dragons, undead treants, souped-up wights, wraiths and mummies, then if they enter the BBEG's hideout, there will be more minions and finally evil priests and a vampire - the BBEG's right-hand "man") before they get to him/it.  There is nothing they need there. Actually, the clue they need to know where to go next is in the possessions of someone they have allowed to live (I was sure they would kill her) and who is still with them.  I tried to have the troll they fought last session kill her, but the party rogue jumped in the way and attacked the troll.  I am hoping they will find the clue at some point, if not, I fall back and punt.  They will find the McGuffin they are looking for next session probably and then we will see how smart they are. DM</blockquote>
