Hi guys! I ran Age of Worms a few years ago, and the group got to Spire of Long Shadows before we went our separate ways. We're back together, and we're about to restart.
However, there is a distinct lack of saved character sheets. Everyone knows what they played and are capable of rebuilding. We can go with 13th-level WBL guidelines, but - other than the Rod, the twin swords, and the amulet to control the Sphere, what other items might I have forgotten to make sure the PCs include in their gear at this point?
Is there anything else I might be forgetting that I need to make sure is included before we start back up with Spire of Long Shadows? I'm going to reread the adventure summaries and probably the intro text of the adventures, but I really don't want to have to comb back through every adventure and encounter.
I think Wordelo means the diadem from the Whispering Cairn, and other than that, I can't think of anything else needed either. Maybe the Apostolic Scrolls, if the party managed to get a hold of them. They aren't essential later, but they are a unique item that can help with research.
Thank you! I'd forgotten both the scrolls and the diadem.
Mine don't actually either, since they managed to miss the entire underlayer of the arena, but it does say that once the scrolls have been used they "become nonmagical. The lore within remains, however, and if consulted it grants a +4 bonus on any Knowledge (religion) checks made about Kyuss and his cult".
