Season 6:10 The Wounded Wisp

[Saiman]

Not sure where to put this question...

Anyway, been prepping for running the Wounded Wisp and it says after the first fight of PC vs Monsters: "Rewards: If the PCs to defeat the creatures in area A13,(with or without help), reduce each PC’s gold earned by 50 gp."

I don't understand why. It says the monsters have been down there a while so they are hungry... why would the PC lose gold?

At this point, I'm ready to ignore that and give them the gold for it.

Pretty sure the word "fail" got left out by accident between "PCs" and "to" there.

Ah, I remember this now. There's a word missing...I've added it to the sentence.

If they don't succeed in defeating the encounter, the do not get the notes/what nots from the room so lose out on the 50gp.

From the development portion of the room's text:

Quote:

With the creatures defeated, the PCs

can properly examine the files on the desk.

Thanks everyone.

I'm glad my instincts were correct that there was something wrong.

I know this is a bit of a thread necro, but don't feel like making a new thread. Something nearly came up on Friday when I ran Wounded Wisp.

Spoiler:

The party closed the door to A13 after defeating the encounter but before finding the note that clues the party in on the overarching mystery for the scenario, then was about to disable the opening mechanism to the secret room.

What happens if the party destroys that device too soon? Is the scenario considered an auto fail? Or should you do something to get them back on track?

One way to handle this.

Spoiler:

Let them go back to Drandle Drang and report on what they found. Drang can ask about what they found in the secret room, mutter about why aren't new recruits willing to "Explore" any more, then send them back to the Wisp to check out the secret room.
