Just some things I'm changing in the published adventure. Also some notes on how to possibly RP the various characters. These changes are somewhat because my players are untrustworthy and will probably skim the magazine at the store. Also because some of the challenges are a bit too... ridiculously difficult for my party to handle (cv. Hydra).
Feedback encouraged.

Misc. Notes. (Cora loves horses, I'm not sure, why. I'm going to assume she'll hang out with the horse tending guy and spark some discussion. Blatantly stolen from some other poster whose name I've forgotten.)
Avner's Horse: "You see m'Lady, my Lord, he's a jealous and powerful man, willing to match any insult, don't ya know. Once, he was to be married, to a right beautiful young woman, like yer'self, of some of the finest blood in the city. But one night, a few day's before their wedding, Avner caught her having a daliance with a young adventurer-type. Well, me Lord Avner, he's right furious...and I'm not saying that he isn't right to be so...but what he did...
Well, it seems the adventurer and the Lady were truly in love for they fled the city together. But I know that's not so. You see, I overheard some things betwixt my Lord and a powerful arcanist he hired. I don't know what fell fate came down upon the adventurer, but for the Lady, well, my Lord had her changed, changed into this here horse that you visit everyday.
This way, as my Lord says, he gets to ride her anytime he wants." So, please, take care around my Lord, for your own good...I don't wish to be caring for two mares, My Lady.
