Hi all,
Thank you to everyone for a lot of great hints and information. This is my first time posting so if I make a mistake on things here my apologies.
The party that I am DMing recently had an epic fail when assaulting Armag's tomb (the lesson of splitting the party with that many barbarians around is likely a bad idea was hard learnt). The result was that the party was decimated (out of 7 only 2 surviving). A rescue mission was made (only 1 player wanted to keep his original character - so there were a lot of cremated bodies with heads on spikes) was able to quickly grab the body as well as the prisoners.
The end result was to head home with the King's head and prisoners. This took 3 weeks riding. Adding the mourning period for the king and the coronation of the new Queen this is about 4-5 weeks interlude.
So my question (assuming they decide to go back to the tomb and not head off to Fort Drelev to liberate the citizens), based on the fact that a month has passed with Armag already in the tomb, would he realistically still be in the tomb? If so, what reasoning would cause him to take 4-5 weeks to "master" (be mastered by) Ovinrbaane?
If he does move on before they get back to the tomb, what are his actions? I can see some possible (going to unite the barbarian tribes, tracking down the remainder of the PC's for daring to oppose him, or following the original Armag's invasion plans etc).
Thanks for any suggestions :)
