Ya I think having the Stag Lord being slightly more active in figuring out whats going on adds a bit of realism. I have played several times through stolen lands, and most players kinda expect the bandits to be more proactive to the point of not wanting to wast time on mites and kobolds when bandits might be organizing an attack.

Might replace the mites and kobolds with more bandit towns, with leaders also calling themselves the Stag Lord, kinda How Negan in the Walking Dead has all of his men calling themselves "Negan" as well. The players might think they have killed the Stag Lord only to find that he now hunts them.

Also might change the Stag Lord's father quite a bit. Torturing the Stag Lord as a boy made him a monster, and if I remember correctly there is a half-starved owlbear in the fort. These seem very much like things a druid in the cult of Rovagug might do. Turing a man into a monster in order to stop the spread of civilization sounds exactly like something a follower of Rovagug or Lamashtu might do. Starving a dangerous animal to make it more violent seems Rovagugish too.

So the first session as a wereshark went well. To be honest we have a fighter in the group that is built extremely well and is devastating sailors left and right. My character really doesn't look OP anymore after that fighter tears through a ship. In fact, the group as a whole is so combat capable that I am now optimizing my character's profession sailor skill in order to dominate in ship combat. Rocking a +20 to sailor checks and we just hit level 5.

Also the gamemaster seems to have a quest in mind so that my character can further develop and control his wereshark abilities, allowing me to eventually pay a level in order to count as a natural lycanthrope. Very excited about this!

Thank you so much for the info gamer! I ordered some wood molds from hirst arts so hopefully I will get this thing done before the showdown with the Jade Regent.
