Sinister Secret of Whiterock questions
Posted: Sat Feb 23, 2008 8:38 pm
Hi,
First off, I really like this scenario, I am definitely getting the old school vibe from it, that I hoped for. However, I fear I may have detected some small "plot holes".
It's just possible that I am missing something here... It really wouldn't be the first time.
The owlbear can be one of the plot hooks which gets the heroes into the scenario. However, I can't see how it gets to the surface.
It is "trapped" in a room with the cistern on one side and the Forbidden Fane on the other. It can't climb up the cistern, and the sil'hel refuse to enter the Fane, so how do they train it. Come to that, if they do drag it through the Fane, they can't get it to the surface anyway.
Am I missing anything?
OK I have some fixes.
Rather than have the Fane be forbidden, the sil'hel have been feeding the assassin vine. You see, it is studded with the same crystals the owlbear is and they have taken it as a sign their "god" has dominance over plant life. What's more , the vine guards "holy relics" from their dim, almost mythical past. If the Sil'hel want to move the owlbear, they feed the plant first.
Further I shall have a cauldron already fitted to the lift chain with a cauldron, they use it to transport the owlbear. However if a bunch of heroes cram into it they might find it can't take the weight...
Thoughts?
