[QUOTE="ExploderWizard, post: 6700939, member: 66434"] I am running one group through the adventure currently. It has been pretty good overall. The party has taken out the redbrands, collected the quests in town, and went to Craigmaw castle. At Craigmaw they skirmished with some goblins then pulled back. The druid turned into a spider and did a crawl-through scouting everything out. The party waited too long and the "drow" slipped out during the night with the map undetected. Poor Gundren was gutted and eaten for breakfast (the party found his remains over the fire in the dining hall). They finished cleaning out the castle then decided to track the drow. They followed the tracks out of the forest, where strangely, the tracks changed! Where once there were small elven footprints, there were now heavier prints. The party followed the tracks back to Phandalin and asked around about anyone just getting into town. They learned that the only one seen coming to town was old Gus, a local miner who was over fond of drink. They found Gus in the inn, drinking ale and decided to scope him out. They kept an eye on him and the druid even spied on him after he went up to his room for the night. Not sure of what to do the next morning, the druid approached old Gus the next morning and began questioning him. The druid then began assaulting the fellow right in the common room. It was a tense battle with some of the party looking on, not sure if they should get involved. At one point when it looked like old Gus was getting really whalloped, the cleric HEALED him! On what fun! The mage (attempting to interfere quietly) used mage hand to try and unbuckle Gus's belt. Imagine his surprise when he discovered it was all one piece! At that point everyone smelled villain and the dogpile began. "Gus" was killed right in the inn, reverted to his doppleganger form, and the party won the map of Wave Echo cave. It was awesome! We continue the adventure next week. [/QUOTE]
