Just started running RotR.
I agree that Nualia lacks some presence in the first part of the adventure. I've been thinking about some sort of revenge on Nualia's behalf against the midwife who burned her baby (maybe she didn't miscarry - maybe she doesn't know/believe she miscarried). At the time it was a shock - but by now she hates the midwife who killed her beautiful baby/monster (probably Hannah). Not sure if it will be Nualia personally who kills the midwife though. Just something for the players to be able to discover her past.
I've also been thinking to make the 3 Yeth hounds at Thistletop her babies (it doesn't have to take 9 months when you're carrying monsters). I wonder who their father is...
And thanks for the pointer - I will increase her CR somehow. I have 5 players, including a crazy Earth-breaker-wielding Shoanti Barbarian, and I don't want him to 'splash' her away in 1 round. However, I don't think I want to make her a recurring villain either(although she will of course reappear if she happens to escape). I think she's a cool villain, but I reckon there will be loads of cool villains to come, so I will give my players the pleasure of defeating this one (rain check on the recurring villain :p ). Still, I hope it will be a memorable challenge.
