Thorstod is the result of fiendish influences, which I will try to weave into larger plot later.Heh. If Thorstod is killed, may have him return as half-fiend spectre or wraith, later <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />. If saved by PC diplomacy/bluff/etc, then maybe give PCs clue that he was manipulated.Nightcrawler: changing few things here:- is not "present" beneath earth; instead, will be created by Song of Power- add living sacrifice, one of students who was captured, not killed- if PCs fail, nightcrawler vomits from student's mouth, trailing blood; student dies, nightcrawler burrows into the earth, keening its own variant of same Song of Power- maybe give AoOs to anyone in range, set it at 50 hp for first round- Then Bad Things Happen <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Side adventures, occurring simultaneouslyPCs get together. Planning to gloss this over - get together for Base of Operations, below, stay together after that because of threat.Base of Operations by Ed Stark (target level 5)- this is whole reason PCs will be in dwarven mountains in first place- word is that keep is available for taking day's march north of Narbonne/quarter day east of Moradin's Echo- rumored treasure, of course <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />- this will be cakewalk compared to Eye for an Eye + Echo of Snow.- will let PCs show off after I kick their butts <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Eye for an Eye by Monte Cook (target level 8)- Elaine has plenty of enemies; one of them is cashing in- Note: will need to buff enemies.</blockquote>
