I was running burnt offerings on and off, so we lost some momentum and history. How do the PCs figure out to go to thistletop? Which clues?
Thanks
Tsuto's journal.
Mine are actually just getting to that point, and after taking the information in Tsuto's journal to the NNPC's (named npc's) I had Sheleilu suggest a preemptive strike. They didn't remember Ripnugget as being head of the Thistletop goblins, so our favorite pointy eared ranger reminded them, and now they're chomping at the bit to get there.
Fortunately, Saturday gaming night is only 3 more days away.
:)
Also, Ameiko knows the whole plan as Tsuto told her to have his loving sister join him; when she refused, he had his goblins swarm her, =)
My PCs shared the journal with Mayor Deverin, so she can suggest they go clear it out.
