Talk:Shadowscale Warren

My party just set fire to it. While they were still inside. After they'd destroyed most of the Shadowscales, outside... — BadCatMan (talk) 10:06, June 30, 2017 (UTC)


 * Mine also just went through it. Party rogue ran straight into the chieftain by himself while the rest of the party were fighting the shambling mound. Impressive that yours managed to set fire to it - on a plane that suppresses fire, in the middle of a wet swamp. They must have put some real effort in -hashtalk 11:19, June 30, 2017 (UTC)


 * Mine was a few years ago, which is recent in play-by-post terms. :) They're usual habit is to go through the back door and run right into the final monster (in the Lost Refuge, they made a magical bridge up onto the tower, climbed through the roof, and dropped right into the open jaws of the khumat), then run around through every area and trigger every encounter, so every dungeon is a pitched battle lasting half a year or more. So they faced the shambling mound, were showered with centipedes, one tried to go through into the Great Warren and stirred up Kossaandar, the rest escaped outside. I thought to have the lizardfolk circle around, but then we had a rambling battle outside the mound.


 * Afterward, they went inside, explored and mopped up. In a fight with Isti-Zar and some Shadowscales, the wizard did his favourite tactic of dropping web spells and setting fire to them. Twice. Since there were inside a massive heap of kindling, I figured there should be some consequences, did some checks, and triggered a fire. Since it was wet and on the Shadow Plane, I made it more slow-moving and smoky as a way to hurry them through their explorations and looting. I added a subplot about rescuing the last surviving eggs of the Dragonslayers for a lizardfolk druid PC. — BadCatMan (talk) 11:46, June 30, 2017 (UTC)
