[SPOILER]Contel is only "killed off stage" if the party has moved too slowly to catch him in Parvue, and if they don't trail him to the lumber camp right away.  Naturally, the villains at the lumber camp could keep him alive and captive, but that doesn't change the adventure since the recovery of the flute is the important thing if they have agreed to take on the task.  From the adventure (Pact with Parvue section) - "It is possible that the adventurers will confront the bard in Parvue.  If this is the case..."[/SPOILER][SPOILER]Also, the final encounter area is set up to be very modular.  It isn't meant to be all out battle where all of the villains descend simultaneously on the adventurers.  It's set up so that they will be fought in small groups (but adjustable so that the individual forays can be made more difficult, depending on the strength of the group and the challenge the DM wishes to throw at them).  From the adventure - "Ambush is the worse case scenario and will only come about by a series of bad decisions on the part of the adventurers.  Take no prisoners."[/SPOILER]I won't debate your opinion, it's yours and fairly so.  But I did want to note where you clearly have missed something in the adventure.  The parts I quote are only a sentence of larger sections written to help deal with a multitude of contingencies a DM might have to handle.  There are other parts of the adventure where these same things are stated in other ways, and options are given, but those quotes I gave above best illustrate what seems to be confusing.  I hope that clears things up for some folks who may have missed those points.My apologies for stepping in and discussing reviews as I really prefer not to do so.</blockquote>
