That's a straight up good idea, especially when you remember how comparatively little we know about the Pathfinders and how murky and unpleasant that can be.

It's possible that one day our characters will have climatic battle with the Aspis Prophet and his minions on top of a burning clock tower while the Tarrasque he summoned destroys Korvosa but when that battle is over and we're getting rewards and Chronicle sheets, I'm betting we still wouldn't get a personal meeting from the Council of Ten because they'll be too busy plotting another way for use to risk our lives. </blockquote><p>The best mission briefing I ever got was for a 7-11 where you are briefed directly by one of the ten. It was certainly an important enough mission for it. It was also my first time at Gencon so the atmosphere of the room probably contributed to it.
