My players had a rough time against the quasit, so I nerfed her and fudged the rolls to keep the fight from dragging on for ever. With six players, 5 rounds of combat against the same creature will make everybody bored.

When they stunned her and she dropped her dagger, they picked it up and dropped it in the runewell. I rewarded their ... willingness to "try something, anything" by removing her damage resistance.

Still, they basically relied on the lucky roll to hit her, and I finally just fudged the fighter's grapple to make it work, while "forgetting" that she can turn invisible.

This encounter was frustrating on both sides of the screen.

From the description:
"In the days that follow, a mysterious malady that leaves its victims monstrously deformed and dangerously insane spreads through the town. The PCs must not only determine what’s causing this strange contagion, but also discover the sinister connection between the plague, the goblin attacks, and the emergence of a strange rune from an empire thought to be long dead."

I've read the first three parts of the adventure and I've read absolutely everything else, yet I found no mention of a disease/plague. Did I miss it? Did the adventure change since the description was written?
