The 4th adventure made sense, because if they're trying to stop the Ebon Triad and cult of Kyuss, why wouldn't the cults try to stop them first?  And while some may see the 5th adventure as "trying to get to the guy that tried to assassinate us", it's more important to stop him when they find out he's got the Apostilic Scrolls and is planning on turning the Free City into the Undead City.And we've had plenty of opportunity for RP.  The Diamond Lake backdrop was awesome in that regard.  There were a few sessions that we didn't see much combat for all the roleplaying in DL.I'm playing and not DMing this.  It kinda cheeses me that I know a little more about who's behind what than I should (I'm doing my best to keep away from spoilers...damn Dragon mag!).  I like my Favored Soul, but if he happens to die, I'm going to try and talk my DM into letting me be a succubus.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
