Cindermaw stories?

[B_Wiklund]

Next session, the party in my campaign should be ready to seek out the Cindermaw. Just curious to see if folks had interesting, colourful stories. I've got a bit more time before the next session so I'm hoping to have time to come up with ways to heighten the drama of it.

Think film instead of "kill it and take its stuff."

It's meant to be a huge, cinematic moment, so if the party tries something cool, go with it. They'll remember that more than they remember an endless series of skill checks.

One of my party is a former Shoanti Brave, returned to his homeland and seeking to make a legend for himself. I let him cue the party to the fact that simply killing Cindermaw would be a bad idea. His legend needed to be preserved if he were to be used to make folk heroes out of the group, and they had no real means of understanding this without a bit of foreknowledge from the shoanti. They could easily handle the creature at their current level of experience, and would almost certainly have just done so. Once they realized they needed to make a display of it, things got interesting.
