Thanks for the info, guys! Ran the session with a lot of your notes and suggestions and it went great! It was a tough way to jump into the roll of GM, since it seems the Misgivings is pretty widely accepted as the least favourite part of Rise of the Runelords, but I added some extra flavour from the character's backstory to keep them intrigued and invested in in continuing the investigation.
Thanks again, my players ended up loving the session!
