Getting ready to have my "army" enter into the Catacombs of Wrath upper level (Burnt Offerings) and am curious if other GMs have had their players take area B2 or B3 to enter into the CoW and in very short order make their way to B13 and confront Erylium?
I am debating removing the tunnel leading from B1 to B2 and removing the opening from B1 to B3 to push them into the middle of the CoW so there is a greater chance of encountering Koruvus before the Erylium fight.
Any thoughts?
My group did exactly that, entering the CoW from B2, then moving on through B12 into B13. I nerfed the Erylium fight. All of my players are new, and I was worried that dying so early in the campaign would be discouraging. I regret this decision now. I should have let things play out. Live and learn.
My group explored the rest of the CoW after they slayed Erylium, running into Koruvus later. Our last session ended right after the Koruvus fight.
So, it's entirely possible that your party will do the same thing, but everything ended up great for my group. Except for the magus who actually drank the Waters of Lamashtu in B12, but that's another story...
