Under Leveled Party - Orik Pursuit


Rise of the Runelords

Liberty's Edge

Party made a mess of Thistletop and ended up leaving with the lower level undone and a number of other encounters have been missed. (fought a certain lady in the temple instead of down there) They are a bit behind where the book says they should be.

I could force them back to level up but story wise they have a gripe with Orik who bluffed them into thinking he was a mercenary un-involved with the goblins.

I did one random encounter where they encountered a couple bandits they mistook based on rumours as being Orik and am now thinking I could use this by rumour milling them either back to thistletop or like the pit or other features around sandpoint.

They do seem to be taking the role of acting Sherif while Hemlock is gone to magnamar fairly seriously.

Thoughts or advice?


Using rumors to get them back into Sandpoint could work. You could also have Brodert Quink hire them to help him explore the cleared Thasillonian ruins.


If they're taking the Acting Sheriff role seriously, you could give them some opportunities to interact with the townsfolk in that role and give them XP for resolving issues successfully.

Orik didn't bluff them that much. He was hired as muscle on ruin-exploring gig, not for teaming up with goblins to destroy a town. In modern terms he would be charged as an accessory to the crimes, not the crimes themselves. (Granted, old time justice might not make that distinction.)

Shadow Lodge

You should be able to easily stitch together a few events in Sandpoint if they're chasing Orik. He wants out of the area, and a ship out of Sandpoint might be the fastest escape for him.

Or he can take of for Guldura, giving them somebody to chase and a few encounters there to pad their XP totals.
