I had the idea of adding Evindra in chapter 4. Simply moving the abbey to the south end of the marsh, and letting the players learn some of what's going on early. She'd tell them that the Drelev lord took her shawl, and she'd be willing to help and give them information should they recover it.

Afterwards is when she's willing to tell them of Briar, though she'll know little of Nyrissa's current plans. Of course, before the party can act on this information, is when Pitax does their deal.

Would this cause any ruffles with the story? My players have shown some frustration at their lack of over-arcing story.

I've also considered before we even hit chapter 4 to have them deal with a 'mini bloom' to give them the idea of how to combat them before it brings their kingdom down. Thoughts?

So my players took forever to challenge the River Camp. So by the time they were sufficiently strong enough, they trounced it (even with the enhanced numbers for being prepared).

The fight went poorly on both ends. Lots of missing, poor rolls, our witch forgetting to use hexes. It took too long. But it ended with the monk taking some heavy blows from Kressel's daggers (1 crit) and her axes (another crit).

They opted, to pin her down and capture her. Which after some bad rolls on her end, succeeded. Cue interrogation. It went...differently.

The party's inquisitor, high on saving Mikmek, wanted to convert Kressel to their side. After all the intel they gathered, they found she had some grudges and they used that to their advantage.

After several diplomacy rolls (where their luck changed and the inquisitor got two nat 20's) she was down, though still very, very evil.

So after all that backstory, I get to my question. What precisely would Kressel know? How indepth would her knowledge be?

That being said, for those that have seen Kressel survive, what did you do with her? The Inquisitor seems to be intent on making her a permanent ally.

As an aside, they let Tartuk get away (who's a summoner). I had considered Tartuk being a recent ally of the Stag Lord if the PCs bring both Mikmek and Kressel like they seem intent on doing. Thoughts?
