Expanding The Abjurant Halls of Envy (Chapter 5 Spoilers!)


Rise of the Runelords


Hey all! My group is heading into Runeforge soon, and I've determined what their highest sins are each. Our Fighter is prideful, our Wizard wrathful, and our Cleric envious. Reading through I noticed that the halls of envy are the only parts not present in the dungeon, because of damage. However I feel like my Cleric is excited about the sins coming into play, and I don't want to disappoint her by wholly destroying the wing of the dungeon she would interact with most.

So my question is, is there a way around this problem? Has anyone expanded the halls of envy (even just a bit, to make it less disappointing to see it destroyed)? Or is there another way to ensure everyone's sins come up? Like exacerbating their personal sins while they're in Runeforge. I'd appreciate any help you can give!


It sounds entirely appropriate that the envious one should be jealous of the others for having intact dungeons of their very own...

It sounds like this could spill over into the player's actual feelings, though, not just the PC's. Isn't there guidance in the AP for what to do in this situation? Using one of the other dungeons, for instance?

Yeah, that's the worry! Thematically I understand why it's written that way, and there is some poetic justice to it, but the distinction is important; the character should be envious, but the player should be having fun no matter what!

I can't find anything about it in the Anniversary Edition, but that's sort of along the lines of what I was thinking. Taking one of the dungeons that doesn't matter that much to my party (not greed because Karzoug, or wrath/pride for the other PCs) and converting it into an envious dungeon. I suppose I could still keep the theme going and have the envious faction have stolen the wing from whoever had it before, which would explain why it's probably not as tightly themed as the others.
