#1 zombiegleemax May 14, 2004 11:10:24	Ok my next DL session is tonight and I am going to need some tips on how the whole scene with Shaylin can at least take up 5 hours worth of playing. Now Cam mentioned something about the elven abode being fireballed by a bunch of dark knights. Basically my players have been offing dark knights left and right so the way I have it is they have brought in one of their best trackers to take care of the little pests. They know that the pc's are in the sewers but not exactly where as of yet. I want the tracker that I constructed to be a reoccuring villain so I really fleshed her out. Can anyone give me any tips ? I have a few hours left before we hit the hobby store, go pick up our food, and start rolling 20 siders. :D ~~~

Once they pass through the secret passage, the tracker makes note of the passage and returns up above to get reinforcements. After a few hours, enough dark knights could probably be gathered you can have the dark knights make an open assault on the enclave, attempting to 'clean out the sewers,' forcing the PCs to choose to either stay and help Shaylin and the refugees or to get the heck outta there and on with the next part of their quest. Alternately, you can have the PCs have a few encounters with various elves within the enclave: * An assault by a group of elves that have been driven insane by claustrophobia and illness. * An assassination attempt by an elven traitor working for the dark knights (but who has yet to figure out a way of 'getting' word of the enclave to the DKs without his own presence being given away...after all, he's not completely stupid, just cynically pragmatic) * Having Shaylin give the PCs a task they must accomplish in the sewers (or back up in Pashin) before she will give them the information they need, such as getting some healing potions from Klaudia, or saving an elf who was captured by the dark knights, retrieving an item that was lost in the sewers, etc. Those are just a few quickie suggestions, hopefully they'll help.

I guess that could also be seen as a positive coincidence though since the next session date I will have the module and therefore not have to wing it. :D Thanks again Chris! ~~~
