So my party just made it to the Heralds under the city. The party's Ulfen Hunter from Losthome asked Solveig if he could join the order. I know that I could make this look however I want, but wondering if anyone has some fun ideas for what kind of induction ceremony might look like, or what kind of path had have to swear. I might interupt the book 3 super dungeon with a extradiminsional faerie market that brings them back to Losthome, and maybe there will be some work to be done for the Heralds there. Does anyone know if the Heralds appear in other modules?

Also, how have ppl handled the PCs selling the cursed ring. Takes a pretty good check to reveal the curse, so might they be able to get a ton of cash for it? they are staying safe and getting the Heralds' agents to do their shopping for them. I think for balance they might just not be able to find a buyer, but curious what others have done.

Thank you for all the great content on here everyone. I started running this campaign through Skype once the Covid'19 outbreak got serious in March; the PCs have just arrived at the base of the Pale Tower. Thank you Neil and everyone else at Paizo; I picked up the paper copy of Snows of Summer 2 years ago and have been waiting to dive into the cold. Pure satisfaction so far.

One thing that I am curious about and haven't seen addressed yet on this board is the curse attached to the Glyph of Warding. It makes sense that Nazhena would put such potent protection over her wealth, but I am wondering if most people have left it as is. Both the Perception and Disable DCs are pretty high to eliminate this risk, and if it befalls one of my PCs (and I think I know which one of them is most likely), that is really major. I can't seem to think of any way the PCs could remove the curse until they get to White Throne; no NPCs are high enough caster level in Waldsby, and the PCs won't have the spells needed themselves. How have others dealt with this? The Ring I am less concerned with; they have befriended Hatch, and he did overhear Nazhena discussing the cursed item, so they've been forewarned.

Also appreciate some of the above ideas: the love triangle with Jairess, Hestrig, and Radosek; diplomatic means of avoiding conflict; the hand-off at the teleporters; the pressure plate trap in the entry on the main floor; ice-gargoyle reinforcements if they take too long. All really great!
