[QUOTE="parhadokzal, post: 6489619, member: 6747297"] Hi people, I just finished playing the part of Cauldron-Born where the party has to fight Gale because she is on a geas from Ekossigan. My PCs have a really good relationship with her and the Unseen Court by proxy. As my players were totally ill-equiped to deal with a flying caster and that I didn't want to make her behave stupidly as she's supposed to be a real bad-ass, I have... improvised quite a bit. After the party got away from her to come back later, they got to Asrabey for help in bringing her down. I improvised that he was able to put his hands on some powerful Unseen Court mojo that would require a lot of work, while in fight with her and the gremlins, to neutralize her flight ability. I wondered where to go with that next (we stopped just as Ekossigan appeared). I'm really thinking of taking off her flight permanently, as this would be interesting drama that the player would inadvertently take away this capacity while trying not to hurt her too much. They didn't ask about duration at all when Asrabey got them the item and I pictured it as some super-powerful fey kinda-artifact. I was thinking maybe even Asrabey didn't know about the duration when he was given it. The Unseen Court would have been willing to sacrifice one of their own so Ekossigan would be dealt with swiftly enough. So, 1- Any official word about where Gale got her flight ability? From all I've read, she's quite unique about that, but we don't know any more? 2- What do you guys think about this story twist? I'm really asking for sincere advice on this because I really made this call totally unprepared and I'm not quite sure where this would take us. BTW, my players are going to be fine with this kind of "gotcha", so no problem on this side. Thanks! LP [/QUOTE]
