Hello again! I am adding the Sable drake to the list of baddies for my PC's to deal with.
They have been hearing rumors about it for a while, and guess who is going to be at the Sea Wyvern when the PC's get back to Kracken’s Cove to claim it? The SABLE DRAKE!! YAY!
I plan on making this encounter so that the PC's can fight off the gobs, but are unlikely to be ablr to claim the Sable Drake for themselves.
To this end I will say that the Captain has in depth knowledge of the reefs protecting Krackens Cove, and perhaps the captain will also have a gasp--rope golem--(from some old dragon mag i dug up) Maybe the rope golem cannot leave the sable drake just yet due to some unexplained magical effect....humm.. This would make it so the PC's (all 4th level) are very unlikely to defeat the drake on the 1st encounter.
I plan on having the drake replace the blockade in SWW and then who knows.....
So has anyone run the Sable drake in any campaign? Pointers?
Looking for ideas here!
I definately plan to use the Sable Drake during SWW! Perhaps on the height of the Pirate Isles.
