Between playing Edge of Anarchy and Seven Days to the Grave I gained an extra player (one player's husband was able to join us!), so wanted to add some linking ties as well as extra XP to keep the adventure balanced for five instead of the four.
My party really hated Vreeg and was expecting Rolth to show up at some point. That he didn't did not lower their paranoia at all, and I decided to use that to my advantage. In my storyline, Rolth returned to the lair sometime after the party left with the Shoanti's body parts, but before the Guard could go back down with Pharasmans to clean up the dead the party had left behind. Rolth, infuriated that someone had stolen his stuff, ruined his new toy (Golem) and destroyed his lair, animated the derro (including Vreeg) as Zombies, and lugged of Cabbagehead and bits of the defeated carrion golem and failed flesh golem to create a surprise for the party.
Over the month of down time I gave between the two adventures, Rolth discovered who had messed with him, and determined to get even. First wave, he sent the five derro zombies (which are rather tough li'l buggers!) during the wee hours to try and do in the five party members. When he realized that had failed, he ambushed them as they were leaving Vencarlo's Academy to escort the rescued fake Trinia out of Korvosa to join up with the real one and get to a place of safety. The ambush? One Cabbagehead carrion golem :)
Rolth is now too busy to further mess with the party, due to his duties with the "enemy" :) But the party is sure that he had something to do with their nighttime visitors and are positive he sent Cabbagehead after them. If they weren't so busy dealing with the plague, they'd be Necro hunting for sure!
