Message: <blockquote data-quote="TheSword" data-source="post: 9773299" data-attributes="member: 6879661">No blog I’m afraid. I can give a quick summary though. Party consists of a Sigmarite Witch Hunter, a Rat Catcher (ex Scrier, ex Riverwarden) and a Noble (Ex Knight of the White Wolf, Ex Duelist). They have about 8000 xp each which has left all near the end of Tier Three.I’ve played it pretty much by the books with the exception of added Night of Blood as an introduction to teach these guys the 4e rules, If Looks Could Kill to bring the party together and Oldenhaller contract to give them something to do in Altdorf. In hindsight this was a mistake and I wouldn’t do that next time. It boosted xp unnecessary which I think affected death on the Reik.I read some of the blogs on part five being weak and to be honest I’ve found it anything but. However it absolutely depends on your party mix and actions to date. If they are murder hobos that offended the Graf, and just want to slay Skaven in dungeons then part 5 isn’t for you. For the social elements in part 5 to be really brilliant the party needs to be engaged with the Court of Middenheim and at least some interest in the sigmarite heresy.Our party noble has successfully become the Graf’s champion and is in love with the princess. That has made the betrothal and the investigation of Wolfgang particularly ironic and poignant.The sigmarite witch hunter is a link to the Grand Theogenist and Volkmar the from who was also an ex witch hunter. He’s also good looking so caught Countess Emmanuel’s eye at the parade. The Rat Catcher hangs around the guards, and servants and generally plays it from the other side. However I’m all cases it wad important that they be seen as heroes of Middenheim and close confidants of the Graf.The chance to mix with the great and good of the empire is huge and moreso it’s done in a plausible dynamic way which they can actually influence. Rather than just being bystanders. The only parts I’m going to amend is to bring some of the country Skaven encounters from Horned Rat that I didn’t use into the trip to Blackfire pass. So the Ratcatcher who hates the Skaven because they killed her small but vicious dog can kill more Skaven.I came into part 5 expecting it to be mediocre and I’ve actually enjoyed it more than Horned Rat.</blockquote>
