[QUOTE="Cultsbane, post: 8962987, member: 7037457"] I hope y'all are enjoying reading our adventures and I hope we're being completely unexpected and against any intentions Some of our DM thoughts I completely forgot to mention Cillian Creed visiting the ziggurat to retrieve the seal (instead of the other team) Making him the target of the Voice of Rot’s wrath, Ill need to clean up some details next session, but train ride here we go. Storywise, i wish we couldve had time to do the original buildup to Xambria’s reveal. But looking through it, the only thing it wouldve added, doing the ocean quest, was time and more suspense about Xambria And with the module taking much longer than anticipated in the previous sessions already, I decided it was for the best we just end it here. I'd want to rerun module 2: Ive written a version thats much more focused, cuts much more fat, no more red herrings cuz those are fun in principle, but not as fun in practice if it consumes too much time But yea, Module 1 was my favorite, Module 2 would be great if I had cut the fat (i.e. all those sessions just spent investigating leads without much new info) Module 3 in the middle. Tho the way we did Module 3 is SO different from how its written. Cuz y'all just kept investigating stuff that's, like, not in module 3 lol The warehouse, Cauldron hill, etc. Didnt bother completing the Kaja Stewart timeline after y'all refused to engage her Took forever for me to direct y'all to Caius Bergeron, so much time that Cillian Creed became a bigger looming threat than anyone else. Hence why i decided to put him in the finale, despite the fact he's supposed to have died in Module 2 That said, the encounter with Willem Dafoe, while 100% improvised and made up on the spot, was definitely my favorite part of Module 3. I skipped the original encounter with him in Module 2, so when y'all decided to go to the old warehouse for no apparent reason, Im like "sure, lets just put him here" Anything I'd change about Module 3 as written? A LOT! How the module is written, you're supposed to go to the swamp ziggurat to find out someone's been there already, then find the people who've been there in the ocean ziggurat. And that reveals Caius Bergeron is doing fishy stuff, before Xambria kills a bunch of people and yeets out via teleportation back to Flint to do some minor terrorism. [/QUOTE]
