[QUOTE="Tzarevitch, post: 2036253, member: 1792"] I haven't run them yet, but I have read the set of Eberron adventures in preparation to run them in the near future. 1. The adventure is not a railroad. A railroad adventure is one in which the adventure forces the PCs down a particular path and cuts off any choices the PCs may wish to make except the ones the author wants them to make. WotVB is linear but it is not a railroad. The adventure basically is a chase. It details the flight path that the quarry takes and the choices he makes. It details the most likely places for the PCs to catch him and the most likely methods the PCs will try to use. It does not force them to use any of them. It it theoretically possible, if the PCs know what they are doing (or are just extremely lucky) for the PCs to overtake the guy in the beginning and capture him before he can even get away. Their quarry is fairly well prepared (and the PCs will likely not know what they are dealing with at this time) to the odds of that happening are quite small, but it it is possible to do it. 2. The links to the previous adventure are sort of thin. As Merric already said, it is an interlude. It is related to the previous adventures but not strongly so. Frankly, it seems to me to be the best of the group because it requires the PCs to think and plan against an enemy who won't stand and fight. Brute force is of little help in this advanture until the very end. Tzarevitch [/QUOTE]
