Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ragnar_Deerslayer" data-source="post: 5496983" data-attributes="member: 11990">(page references are to the 3.5 hardback)How do the heroes get the knowledge of the Shahalesti betrayal? Timbre knows, and might tell them if the topic comes up, but she doesn't appear to have concrete evidence. Diashan, the elf in temporal stasis, knows, and can give firsthand testimony, but the PCs may not realize this. The Ghaele Eladrin might give the PCs a hint, since he is guarding Diashan, and he was summoned in response to Bhurisrava's final prayer: "that some god would protect what he [Bhurisrava] had failed to - the evidence that would bring to justice those who destroyed his homeland" (page 53). The god that placed the spell on Diashan might remove it when Indomitability leaves. (Diashan's stats aren't included; use the stats for a Shahalesti Scout, page 585.) Alternatively, I imagine that if the PCs manage to get Diashan to the Lyceum, someone there would be able to break the temporal stasis spell just in time for the elf's testimony to make things interesting in Seaquen's relationship with Shahalesti. (Thanks to Nebten for this idea!)  I had my party drag him along using the Floating Disk spell.  This provided for an interesting encounter in Adventure 3 when the Shahalesti want to search the PCs stuff to make sure they aren't smuggling in anything to support the Ragesian spies.Character Goals:    PCs:  get through the Fire Forest and reach Seaquen    Indomitability: get the PCs to free him by "silencing" the seela.  He will become incorporeal, leave, and the forest fires will consume the forest.  The seela will die within seconds    Kazyk:          a.  retrieve the case & contents        b.  keep the PCs from escaping the fire forest (by destroying fire forest)            (1) by freeing Indomitability            (2) by killing Indomitability (which he's not strong enough to do)        c.  gather intelligence about the forest    Nelle:  save forest by killing (or, possibly, freeing) Indomitability    Vuhl (Deception):  free Indomitability by killing Timbre    Tiljann:  figure out a way to save the seela even if the forest burned down (sword?)Ragnar</blockquote>
