So my players are prepping for the siege of Sandpoint (4.1) and the Stonelord decided to explore the Catacombs of Wrath to see if he could determine what the Giants might be after. Well he sent his earth elemental companion walking through the earth down the spiral stairs to the scribbler's lair... I had the hounds bay and he failed the will save so he was panicked and fled back up. Unfortunately they are now convinced that whatever is down there is what the Giants are after and must be investigated immediately. Any ideas on how to disabuse them of the notion/get them on the track to Jorgenfist once the siege is over?
TLDR: party wants to excavate/explore scribbler's lair at the start of book 4. Help me not TPK them :)
