Message: <blockquote data-quote="erucsbo" data-source="post: 2847680" data-attributes="member: 40110">N223 scrollsBack in the dim dark ages when I started playing D&D ('81), the first dungeon I made and ran a party through had a very well hidden secret trapdoor under which was a Ring of Gaxx (check the Artifacts in the 1ed DMG). Why? Because I wanted to have something I considered way cool in the dungeon, but hidden enough that it was unlikely that the party would ever find it (and they didn't). Stupid in hindsight and thankfully it didn't ruin the game.I got a similar feeling from N223. Has anyone actually had a party find the scrolls? It is so far out of left field that I really struggle with its purpose except perhaps as a panic button or a way to violently shift the game flow in to a new direction. (ok - it states its purpose but it reads like a kludge).Having said that, I don't think it is necessarily a bad thing, but would like to have the players able to reach it not completely blind to what is going on.How have others of you who have had parties go through N handled it (if there are any of you still reading)?I'm inclined to add it to the foreshadowing events that can be thrown in to other regions (certainly wouldn't give clues in N where the named undead might encounter them).Maybe clues could be garnered in the Hidden Library in E, and from Cyrlebrai in G about the existance of the scrolls and where they may be found.thoughts? comments?</blockquote>
