What if the PCs don't succeed? *Spoilers*


Rise of the Runelords


Has anybody ever wrote out or come up with ideas of the PCs do not "win" this AP. I have recently reread through the AP and wonder what would happen if the PCs didn't defeat Karzoug. Anybody have any suggestions or ideas or even source books to read to get some ideas? I thought about making a high level mythic type campaign that explores this idea but have no clue where to begin. Thanks


If it's the Anniversary Edition, there should be failure scenarios after the wrap up following the final encounter. All modern AP's have them.


I can't link it right now, but yes there have been numerous threads and ideas on this very subject. :-)


I didn't fully read the appendixes :( lol. I will do more searches on the thread! Thanks!

I'm pretty sure someone had a setting document where they wrote up a world where all the bad things came true. I caan't find it though! Check out this thread and this thread instead.

My copy of "Spires of Xin-Shalast" has a section titled What if Karzoug Wins? on page 61. It details what happens if the Leng Device is shut down, and what happens if the device is operational. In the former case, Karzoug rallies a massive army of giants and pulls another, greater army from ancient Xin-Shalast. In the latter case there's . . . cataclysm on the order of Aroden's death and possibly even Earthfall, as Mhar is awoken and freed.

Also do a search in general discussion, there's a thread about what happens if EVERY AP is lost. :-)


yall are awesome! Any ideas where I can read more about the Denizens of Leng?

Into The Nightmare Rift has a gazetteer of Leng.


thank you so much for your help! I have a cool idea for a high level mythic campaign and all this stuff will def help!
