[QUOTE="SunRaven01, post: 5107256, member: 42927"] So, lots of movement from last time. The group has played through the White Wyrms encounter and the Dead Rising encounter, and achieved level 2. I ran both encounters by the book, and they went mostly smoothly. I mis-interpreted the poison aura of the pseudo-dragon, but caught my error three rounds into the combat, so we just started the encounter over. I wasn't able to lure them over any of the traps, though. They were glued to the open area I designed near the side door of the warehouse. And in Dead Rising, I decided the crossbow using skeletons weren't smart enough to know they could leave their posts as long as they had bolts yet, so my group was able to apply some good crowd control tactics and break up the party. The sorcerer decided to bust out her Dazzling Daily Power on the wight, which really put a crimp in his day. The challenge for me so far has actually been in keeping things organized. I have a spreadsheet I use for keeping track of wish list items, treasure parcel placement, and treasure parcel distribution. Since I am using wish lists, I decided that any treasure the party missed, well ... it's their fault for not finding it. So the rapier that one member requested was probably found and picked up by someone who stopped to help catch the lost dire weasel, instead of by the party. The feedback I've gotten from the party so far has been overwhelmingly positive. They LOVE this campaign so far. And so do I. It's very well done. [/QUOTE]
