I've run thi...Sorry to necro a thread but.....<br /><br />I've run this adventure 3 times over the years. For kids/dads, for a new group of adult 4E players and for a group of experienced gamers new to 4E. In all cases, it went very well. The intro in play isn't as weak as it reads. <br /><br />As I recall, the wolf attack was pretty nasty. It's raining, with difficult muddy terrain abound, a bridge and a stream. These particular wolves drag players away from the group and with limited vision in the storm, that gets scary fast. Cue the crazy lady flinging flashbangs screaming to come to safety and you've got a heckuva a memorable opener. <br /><br />Also, there was an online expansion "Den of Dreus" they released later where another wizard sent an orc raiding party to retrieve the stone. That wizard wanted to get her hands on the stone so she could study it and try to make more, adding context as to why the good guys wanted it destroyed.mbeacomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674702605226704063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790030420507335953.post-85482542876532694092010-12-25T17:02:05.204-08:002010-12-25T17:02:05.204-08:00My party made up a pretty good plan.

Being a rogue, I, among with a warlord (high diplomacy), snuck into Kiris Dahn, convinced the kobold that I was a prophet from their god, and said that the slaying stone was able to kill all the goblins in the city. We convinced the kobold to go to war with the goblins, and as the fighting broke out, we went to the main gate and let the rest of the PCs in. We then quickly retrieved the stone and got the hell out.Forglin The Drow Roguenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790030420507335953.post-79477408580087107552010-05-26T08:01:55.125-07:002010-05-26T08:01:55.125-07:00My problem is it gives no description on failure i...My problem is it gives no description on failure in the Claim the Stone skill challenge.
