I cast thread necromancy!
If anybody reads this: I'm in quite the pickle. My players are stubborn and refuse to kneel before the entrance into Hellion's domain in the second part of the adventure. Any ideas how I could allow them a way in?
They thought of bringing Whiskifiss' rust monster to disintegrate the doors but it's described as him being the only one who can handle the thing, so they would have to ask him. So they did. And failed. Maybe Whiskifiss will just accompany them even though they failed the diplomacy check miserably cuz I'm running out of options. There's no other entrance.
Should I make one up? It shouldn't be so easy though imho.
Maybe I should make them do a strength check the next time Hellion casts the black miasma to see if they can keep their composure. If they fail, the characters drop to their knees? I'm at a loss here.
