The Witchwar Legacy - advice

[DBoyC83]

I'm going to be GMing this module for my friends and am having them roll up characters at level 14 with epic fantasy buy.

Reading through the first part I have a few questions about GMing this module:

Question 1:

Where is reference material for Whitethrone?

I'm having an issue trying to figure out a hook to get them to the veil. I am already making them assume the position that they are freelancers. But I want to give them the option to go to whitethrone or holvirgang and decide who they want to work for (if any at all). They show holvirgang but not whitethrone.

Question 2:

Setting up area 1. Giant Base Camp

Any pointers on this? I'm going to try and divide up my players, but with giants how can I isolate individuals and surround them with giants at this level?

Question 3:

area 2. The Freezing Stair

How long are these stairs? It is vague. I feel like the way it's written that they will get through the stairs in 1 round unless they stop and look at the lumps of ice.

I'm not the greatest GM so any newb advice would be appreciated.

Question 1: Whitethrone is fully detailed in Cities of Golarion.

Question 2: That encounter is designed to be a big free-for-all if the PCs don't avoid or sneak past the camp. I think it would be hard to separate the PCs (and the giants) - once the camp is alerted, everyone is going to come out and fight. If you think that might be too hard for your players, you can always reduce the number of giants and ogres, or remove some of the other creatures.

Question 3: The Freezing Stair is about 300 feet high from the base to area 3 (you can look on the map on the inside front cover to see the relative heights of the different levels). Since the stair doesn't climb straight up, however, you could easily double or even triple that for the total length. Say about 750-1,000 feet long, climbing up a total of 300 feet vertically.

Thanks for the clarification.

I used the paizo plain map at 10 square feet per square and set up the tents and corrall but I placed some towers that the giants can use to hurl rocks over the tents at the PCs.

I may have more questions down the line, so look back occasionally as were running through this module.
