I am just about ready to have my pc's embark on the said adventure.

What is the scale of the giant web that connects Szith Morcane? curious it says howe long it takes the sentries to climb at an accelerated rate, but am I supposed to just make the distances up based on those figures? or does it actually state the distances somewhere that I haveoverlooked.
It's not really a big deal, but I'd like to know.

And second, with the following party what chance do you figure?

all tenth level

paladin
cleric
fighter
ranger
rogue

There is no arcane, and that is the biggestproblem. I don't want to have to resort to NPCs, and the only player that would like to changfe to an arcane caster isthe cleric and we can't have that.

The rogue has a very good UMD rating so with the right purchases they may not be to bad, but I think there is going to be some major trouble on the way.

any suggestions input whatever, thanks

11-07-05, 10:53 PM I have a couple of characters (gestault since there's only two of them) going through now and they've done just fine without arcane magic. It doesn't hurt that the cleric has the travel domain though. ;)

11-08-05, 12:08 PM The web is an incredible battle. I made the distance from the top of the web to the middle (radius) 150 feet, and it seemed to work out well. As my party had tipped off the drow and the alert was on, I had the spellguard caste haste on the drow sentries before they headed up the web, and haste again on the spider.

The spider was particularily nasty.

As my party had 6 characters, I added four more drow, an additional sergeant and upped the spider 1 size catagory.

As for your second question, they should make out just fine as few challenges can't be handled without magic, and the cleric will take care of the rest.

That said, my party of 6 lost 2 of their characters the other night in the fane.

11-08-05, 12:38 PM Answer to Question 1: I really don't remember, just wing it.

Answer to Question 2: Your group should be fine. When I ran it two years ago the party did not have a cleric and they made it through. Granted there were many party deaths but they made it. If you have a cleric and a Paladin your group should be fine.

11-08-05, 02:30 PM Your running the realms right, so give the Rogue the regional feat Arcane Schooling, this lets them use spell completion items. Also have the cleric worship someone with the magic domain and then he can use them too.
