So I called an end to the session with over an hour to go, and went off to nurse my wounds, only to realise my error on the train journey home. Sometimes you have to run with a mistake, but other times its better to admit it and rewind a bit.  That's what we did in this case, because it turned out the adventure-as-written was way more fun than the adventure-as-misread.Still, it's a good job I didn't soldier on with the Legion Command encounter (which I was sorely tempted to do) because then I'd have felt even worse, what with it being irreperable and all.  Anyway, the version written up here is the fudged, amended version (with Leon's 'glimpse' of Legion Command explaining how they came by that description, despite ending up another level, and simulaneously making amends for hurling them into the caldera without first making an attack roll (which is another mistake I made)).I had a funny feeling that the approach to Egalitrix would be a bit of a minefield as there are a lot of moving pieces and variables, and the party could choose any one of a number of strategies.  And I was right!In my defence, it turned out that I was on the cusp of a nasty bout of flu and was off work for the next two days.Things have been going much more smoothly since then.</blockquote>
