One option I had considered was letting another adventuring party finish the last part of Wake of the Watcher.

I introduced another party as potential allies and sources of NPCs should I ever need them for later. So I have considered running most of the adventure as written but when they get to the last parts it is already done and there is one survivor who has been barely hanging on for two weeks.

The reason I want to use a timeline is to create a sense of urgency. The Whispering Way is not a bunch of beginners out for a sunday conspiracy. They mean to release the Whispering Tyrant and bring about the demise of life as we know it.

Then for Wake of the Watcher, yeah releasing an elder god onto Golarion is going to alter things a bit in the not so good way.

I suppose I could eliminate the sense of urgency and use the Dark Rider captured and tortured for two weeks bit.

ok rant time :)

I so seriously hate item crafting. It introduces an needless sense of wasteful consumerism and lack of respect for magic into the game. Sure its fantasy, but in real life items such as masterwork swords were rare and passed down through the generations. You didn't go to Swords-R-Us to get a wonderful masterwork sword of the week. I want to play a game of high adventure and thrilling excitement... not merchants and ledgers. UGGGGGGGGGGGGG

hehe rant over :)

I have a party that just started Wake of the Watcher. Everything was going great. They were hot on the trail of the Dark Riders and the tension was high.

I have a calendar of the events for the game that lay out when things happen (with some reasonable variation for play of course). But 14 days behind? The Whispering Tyrant is awakened in 4 days now!

So what possible excuse can we come up with that the Dark Rider has been laying around shirking his duties for two entire weeks?

Or should I just assume the PCs absolutely failed miserably here and let them find everything ruined and push them on to Ashes at Dawn?

Well we know you won't be the one doing the shooting then!
