Hi all, as DM for this particular campaign i found it enjoyable to run (for 14 years on and off as stated by Haldrick the way we do one book then
on too another campaign and book). The last book, reading it and being DM is different then being a player and they found the total change of pace and opponents a slog.
Looking back at my journal I believe Jarl met his fate December 2015 fighting the Aurumuorax. Lethal. Kelso the kingdoms Magister (gnome wizard)fell to Nagas fireballs, and from Zoreks flame-strike, but was always brought back to Green Haven to be raised. ( the long running saga of his "off" teleports were a running joke, landing them in the Hook Tongue Slough plenty of times, until Lady Abigail bought a folding boat, when they then seemed to be on target from then on)
The scroll of read magic, yes, that was rolled up randomly. Didnt make sence, it became an item the mysterious "the agent" was sent to aquire.
And that he did. They never found out what the scroll really was and never asked later.
Many many conversations about what was going on and who was responsible i think actually was better then knowing "this campaign is all about dragons" or such. Added alot of mystery and thinking out side game time.
