Hey all!
I'm premiering this scenario at GenCon, and I'm just hoping to get a little clarification;
1) in Traitor's Mews, the map for the second floor is excluded, presumably because the layout is unimportant. Should I create my own representation of the second floor to accurately count the rounds expended by PCs trying to reach the first floor after the trap in the attic is triggered, or should I assume that jumping down with an acrobatics check is the only option for reaching the ground floor?
2) in the Kendall Amphitheater, the named NPCs are listed as 2 N Male Human Experts and 1 NG Male Gnome Expert, but those NPCs don't exist in the NPC Codex or the scenario resources. Were these listed correctly? I've grabbed the stats for the closest NPCs listed in the codex as a failsafe, and I'll assume that they're unarmed, but what about the other 9 actors that the scenario states are in the amphitheater when the PCs arrive? Are they still there when the ankhegs attack? If so, they're presumably targets to get dragged underneath the stage.
3) So what does happen if the ankhegs manage to drag a PC or NPC underneath the stage? This isn't discussed in the tactics. Do I assume an NPC is killed after so many rounds? Does the ankheg return to the amphitheater after that or does it just retreat with its meal? Do I allow the PCs to pursue through the tunnels the ankhegs would have made under the stage? And it's not really clear from the scenario if the ankhegs crawled out from an exposed area under the stage or if they're meant to create holes in the amphitheater's floor.
Help me out, guys.
