The party (aka the Greenlords, rulers of the Duchy of Zelenoy) handily defeated Hannis Drelev and his retinue of hill giants and Pitax mercenaries.</p>
<p>Quintessa Maray saw the writing on the wall and basically stayed out of the fight altogether. Amazingly, her status as a Daggermark spy has not been uncovered, despite the Greenlords' initial skepticism regarding her cover story and soft interrogation of Maray. They know that she is not an exiled noble from Galt, but she managed to come up with an alternate cover story on the spot that the group found more believable. They've even gone so far as to offer her a position in their capital city once they've completed building a bard college there!</p>
<p>So, beyond my wildest dreams I've got a smart, skilled River Kingdoms spy well-positioned in my group's young kingdom. Any suggestions on how Daggermark might make use of Quintessa Maray? Or suggestions for changing her back story? I noticed in another thread that someone made her an agent of Nyrissa, instead of Daggermark.</p>I recently ran the Fort Drelev encounter from Blood for Blood.

The description for metamagic rods refers to the "wielder". Would you take this to indicate that metamagic rods have to be brandished like a weapon to function, or would simply grasping the rod suffice? For example, if a wizard had two rods sheathed in scabbards, could he simply grasp the exposed end of one of the rods and cast a spell bolstered by its effects, or would he have to draw the rod in order to gain its benefit, then sheath it (or drop it) and draw the other to gain its benefit in subsequent rounds?</p>

I probably wouldn't hesitate to allow a race with a level adjustment of up to +2, so that a 1st level drow fighter, although starting at 0 XP, is actually considered a 3rd level character and would require 6000 xp to reach level 2.
