Playtest #3: Hack and William came by last night and we played the chunk of module as they travel the island between encounter W1 (sandy beach) and E1 (The Ruins) They were able to use the Stealth to avoid being seen by the Giant Albatross so they’ve missed that encounter. Still, I know they’ll be seeing him later…
Once they were in the Ruins they fought did Encounter R3 where they fought the critters there. As I got through the encounter I realized the some of the monsters may be too tough for 1st level (they were written as level 4 brutes) and so last night I dropped them down to Level 2… the DMG warned me of this but I didn’t listen… well, the update is now made. Also making the fight difficult, is I hadn’t drawn the maps for this area yet, so Hack’s character got stuck being surrounded by monsters before he could shift back out of the cabin. Must… finish… maps…
