Then push them out the door and see where they wander- have a little bit of roleplay, maybe some alternative quests for some that the PCs could get involved with- use the random encounters in the book as the bad guys for the quests, or the extra encounters available at WOTC.It's roleplaying gold in there, I usually just think of a character I want each of the NPCs to be like, and then jot down some notes (2-3 lines at tops), then wing it from there.I try to make the PCs have a good look new areas like this by not moving the action on until they've wandered at least a little, it helps I play via Maptools and my players know what's expected of them, or else they know that it helps to check out the local flora and fauna before they go upsetting too many people.Good luckCheers Paul</blockquote>
