Bad timing, I guess, for me. The new adventure path is set in Nirmathas, but as there was already a bunch of stuff set in the area for the last 18 months I have been running my own adventure path set in the nation, and it's about to end. I started with the adventurers at Level 1 and used the "Crypt of the Everflame" and "Masks of the Living God" scenarios, a bunch of my own little scenarios based on the adventure ideas suggested in "Fangwood Keep" (which fits perfectly). So the adventurers were on a twin path of defeating the cult of Razmir AND finding out what was causing the Darkblight (this helped me and I hope them not get bored) ... the blight was a plot hatched by Treerazer and spread by his followers, here a coven of hags (Green, Annis and Sea, aided by a swaither demon and some ogres). Sigurx the troll collected the "poisonous black tar" for the witches after milking it from the "portal" in the latter scenario. The hags then spread it in the Fangwood using a Forest Drake creature as a crop duster ... the drake a pet of the green hag and leader Hilda whose base was in the Dark Grove in the hollowed-out tree of the dryad queen Arlantia, who had been falsely accused of spreading the blight when she was in fact a captive being tortured by the hags ... Treerazer believed Fangwood an easier area to destroy over the elven Kyonin and was thinking of relocating there. Why am i saying this? I don't know. Just chatting. I guess I'm a little disappointed that the next adventure path is dealing with this kind of thing when I've already kind of done it myself. Never mind, I'm about to run Curse of the Crimson Throne, so I shouldn't grumble!
