[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7076298, member: 79141"] [b]DM's Notes & A couple of questions[/b] Rumdoom's player rolled a 1 on his first attempt to interact with Damata. There was no way this would scupper the whole interaction, but we played it out as an episode of cold sweats that disturbed the half-orc and his family. Thinking Rumdoom was nervous, Damata's tone became more probing and direct. Later, when Rumdoom was teleported against his will for the second time in as many days, his player decided to roll a d20 to randomize the level of his response. He rolled a 1 again. In some ways, Rumdoom's blithe attitude to events was more disturbing than the Icy End of the World. Thanks to the influence of Korrigan and the hints dropped by Zarkavia, my players have decided to take the high road in all things. They have engaged in absolutely no shenanigans at all, and are still slightly ahead of the Ob. Next week will see the Keepers of Cheshimox encounter, and the train derailment, but it might also see the opening of the Selastala rail contract, and a slowdown from Damata. Hanging on a knife edge! @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=63"]RangerWickett[/URL][/U][/B][/I]: I have a couple of questions about the rest of the adventure, if you have time (plus a couple that spring to mind about the rest of the campaign): Where do the players find the [I]Bracers of Liberty[/I]? I can't find a reference to them anywhere other than the magic items listing. When Pemberton threatens to kill Tinker if the intruders don't back down, isn't the most likely outcome that the Ob faction keeps fighting (regardless of what the players do) and so Pemberton carries out his threat? How would Tinker react when Pemberton threatens to kill him? Surely he would break off attacking the PCs and try to stop Pemberton? (The matrix of motivations in that final encounter is quite complicated!) Skipping ahead quite a lot: How come Catherine Romana is involved in the coup against King Aodhan in adventure #9, when she is one of the Colossus faction who Nicodemus elects to wipe out? (Did I miss something?) The adventure assumes Aodhan is killed, but that doesn't seem to be the likely outcome - certainly no more likely than the death of Harkover Lee, who is assumed to survive. If the Ob need Aodhan dead, wouldn't they opt for a more direct method? If Harkover Lee dies it seems like that would have a massive impact on the rest of the campaign. Any thoughts on how to handle it if he does? Much later, in Act Three: Given the care taken to avoid including NPCs who are likely to be dead (creating a ghost Lya, for example), why did you decide to include Kaja Stewart in a major role, given that she almost certainly commits suicide off-stage? Okay, so that last one sounds more like a rhetorical criticism, which I guess it is! :D Lya Jierre is a ghost, but Kaja Stewart's still alive?!? AAAAnd finally: Is there anywhere that I can get a list of edits that were made to the adventures before they were compiled? Maybe there weren't any that affected the plot, but it's difficult to tell. I read the compilations at home, but run the sessions from a print-out of the individual episodes, and I'm concerned to ensure I'm not missing things out! [/QUOTE]
