Hook Mountain - Which Way Did They Go? (Spoilers)


Rise of the Runelords

Scarab Sages

My players arrived at Hook Mountain and I was unsure of what they were going to do once they got to the choke point with the the two ogres and the hill giant. Looking at the map, there are four directions: south, towards the ogres at the forge (D6), west, towards the hags (D7), North and west towards Lamatar (D8), or North and east towards Barl. All of them, except towards Barl has stairs up so I totally planned for them to go the path of least resistance and follow towards Barl. But I guess I laid on the hints about ogres working away at the forge and a bit of smoke coming from there so they tackled that first, then the hags where we ended the night. They've expended most of their high level spells so I expect them to retreat and come back the next day.

So, GMs, which way did your players head to first?


My players are typical adventurers. They arrived, saw the four directions and said "we keep always right". So they walked directly to Barl. The rest of this clanhold was left out, because after a really good fight Barl (accompanied by Lucrecia, who fled from Fort Rannick) gave up and let the group go (with all the necessary information).

The ogres at the forge responded to the alarm from the group at the chokepoint. After that the PCs naturally went to where the reinforcements came from. I expect next session they'll work through the passages in order, reaching Barl last.

That's pretty much what my group did, too.
