My players have completed Thirteen Cages and saved Cauldron from total disaster. Of course, a lot of damage was done to the city's south east quarter. One of the characters was elected mayor of Cauldron. They are now busy dividing the treasure found in the Sanctum. Of course this is worth quite a lot of money. They want to use part of it to help rebuild the city. Does anyone have an idea how much this should cost? Or where to begin looking for prices?
My six players are nearing the finale of Thirteen Cages. They've cleared out quite a bit of the dungeon (killed Gau, Freija, MoltenWing, Tiirok, Nulin, Ardeth, ...). I'm planning to have the rest of the Cagewrights (Dyrryd, Shebeleth, Thearyn and some apprentices) make their last stand around the Tree of Shackled Souls. The players know there are still some Cagewrights in the complex, but they (especially the sorcerer) are getting low on spells. Now they're thinking about using the Wish from the Altar to Adimarchus to wish for 'a night's rest' or 'give the sorcerer back all his spells'. I told them I'd think about it, but that I probably wouldn't grant it. To me it feels like it takes away all pressure and urgency there is. Did anyone else's players try this? What did you do? Would you grant it?
Is anyone running Age of Worms with the gods from the Book of the Righteous and the fiends from Book of Fiends from Green Ronin? If so, what did you do with the Ebon Triad? Right now I'm running Shackled City and there I used Baal (Book of Fiends) for Hextor, Canarak for Erythnul and Astaroth (Book of Fiends) for Vecna. I chose those because they matched the areas of influece nicely. I also had the church of Tinel in Cauldron taken over by Astaroth worshippers. But I'm not all that happy with this solution, seem rathter forced to have them all work together. Since the Ebon triad played a minor role in SCAP I could still change it. I've been considering using the three brothers. Does anyone have any other ideas? Any other suggestions for ties with the BotR?
Tomorrow I'm going to run the meeting where the new Lord Mayor gets chosen. I was thinking of using the Vanderborens to foreshadow the coming Savage Tide a bit since two of the main characters in it are Vanderborens (Lavinia & Vanthus if I'm not mistaken). I was wondering about the exact relationship between them all. Are Lavinia & Vanthus children of the Vanderborens and thus (younger?) brother and sisters of Todd? And how did they come to be in Sasserine? Did they leave Cauldron? Does anyone have any ideas? I read the Savage Tide Preview in Dungeon 138 but that didn't really make it clear. |
