[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 5837699, member: 42582"] I guess so! In the ill-fated negotiations with Calastryx, she stated that the PCs had already killed two of her children - the players had already speculated that the chimera might be her offspring, and one of them quickly worked out that a hydra they had fought earlier in the campaign, while making their way through the same hills/mountains, was probably the other one. So the PCs are gradually working their way up the family tree. I was hoping that the PCs and Calastryx might reach some sort of alliance - based on a balance of terror around the closeness of the combat outcome for both sides - so that a bit more of the backstory I had worked out for Calastryx could emerge. Things turned out a bit more combatty then I had envisaged. (Though in the case of the mooncalves, combat is all I had in mind - the real stakes there are whether or not the sorcerer can keep his crazy vortex going whilst contributing much-needed firepower, or will the whole thing go haywire!) But besides mentioning her children, when Calasytryx spoke she also indicated that she was looking for Osterneath, an NPC that the PCs are also looking for (on a mission from Kas), and that is probably enough to try and hang some future reveals/complications on.
