I have never played in or run the RotRL but I have read through all 6 parts and am now reviewing the anniversary edition so I can run this amazing adventure path.
My question is about Tobyn who was killed in a fire 5 years before the Swallowtail festival. In the events of the goblin raid, his remains are stolen to be burned (again?) in offering to Lamashtu.
Did anyone else see this as strange? Did anyone handle this differently?
I had a thought that maybe Nualia stabbed Tobyn and thinking he was dead she burned down the church, then escaped. Tobyn (being only mostly dead) dragged himself out of the burning church but died on the lawn outside. Since Nualia wasn't present the citizens assumed she was consumed in the fire.
Anyway, I would love to hear if anyone else dealt with this idea at all.
