Now I know from first hand experience and reading the forums that if your players are not careful or a few unlucky rolls, they will be worm food, literally. But I was wondering how many DM’s have had players survive to the end of the Age of Worms, start to finish, and what did you do after?
The reason I am asking is because I started running this adventure path a while back, and I warned my players that this is a tough campaign and they might want to print off a few extra character sheets just in case. As it turned out I was dead wrong they made it completely to the end (much to my surprise). At level 22 they had an epic 4 hour battle with Kyuss that was nearly the end of them all. Now I am not saying they breezed thru, like all things they had some good and bad sessions (Dragotha, Lashonna, Faceless One to name a few), but they didn’t leave any lose ends lying around, they saved and the scourged have piece of exp and gp, used their heads and they made it to the very end and more importantly had a blast doing it.
My Survivors are:
Adventuring Company Name: Pelor’s Morning Star
Eldric Vel (AL: CG human male Rogue 2/Fighter 18/Tempest 5)
Seldirk Manis (AL: NG assimar male Cleric 20 of Pelor/Hierophant 5)
Cohort: Alleria Sunstride (Al:LG female human Paladin of Pelor 23)
Zook “Lucky” Fernas (AL: CN male half-drow Rogue 21/Fighter 4)
Nali Fernas (AL: CG female half-drow Cleric 7 of Boccob/Wizard 8/ Mystic Theurge 10)
The Aftermath: Eldric is the new prince of Alastor and along with the rest of the group are cleaning it up and trying to make it a better place. Finally killed Lashonna (with a time stop and empowered heals) before she could become the worm goddess after they kill Kyuss. They are currently making alliances with other good aligned nations and opening up trade. We play it now and again because they really like their characters and their little city.
p.s. Zook got the nickname lucky because James, the guy playing him got 6 natural twenties in a session (I kid you not).
