I would get into detail but i'm don't have it with me at the moment. I'll reply asa i go home. Anyway, has anyone already tested it with his party? What are your comments? I know i'll be doing a lot of work at some of the later encounters, e.g. the one with the archers at the end is a sure t.p.k (it's not the module's fault, my players sometimes act too dumb to think of "concepts" as cover etc!!).
Thysl 09-24-05, 12:48 PM	I like it. You're right, there are a couple situations that the party will have a rough time with: Thrull all armored up and ready, a full frontal assault, wyvern and rider... but I don't think its impossible. As for the last ambush, dude, they just got the rings from House Cauladra. :P

I´m sorry buddy, but if your players are to stupid to think of cover when they get struck by arrows, then they deserve to die! But sometimes that´s a good thing. When they get killed they start thinking about finding ways to survive longer, and they´ll find out about cover. You might also want to highlight some cover for them, using colorful descriptions of the surroundings and underscoring the fact that the orcs take cover behind trees and so forth.

In that case, maybe the 3rd party will succeed!! :D :D Hey, one other thing. What other areas of Faerun do you suggest? Can anyone suggest how i could transfer this nearer to Cormyr? (our campaign epicenter)
Thysl 09-26-05, 07:20 PM	Can anyone suggest how i could transfer this nearer to Cormyr? (our campaign epicenter) Thar can very easily be turned into the Stonelands...
sabbattack 09-26-05, 07:29 PM	Yes that easily popped into mind at first, but i'll have to rearrange the nearest town since the stonelands are quite much further from the nearest big city than 8 days. Also, the encounters will vary but that is fine print. I think i'll go for Stonelands then.
Sovereign King 09-26-05, 09:32 PM	The Storm Horn mountains could be used they are on the edge of Cormyr and during the death of the dragon story line Orcs and goblins swept down from the mountains to burn pillage and loot. You could easily place the orcs in the Storm horns change the leaders name and apply it to Cormyr.
