Notes

  • the arrival of Xov allowed the arrival of a herald of Llerg as well. It arrives at the nearest woodland with a pack of dretch and quickly make their way to the Frost Palace, where the high priest rises as a nosferatu.
  • bandit kingdoms will ask for an assassination among their southern neighbors (in Dimre by the forest or Johrase, directly south (https://davidleonard-greyhawkmusings.blogspot.com/2021/09/the-bandit-kingdoms-primer.html)), but if the party suggests it, around 14 castings of plant growth per year is a fair trade (although they'd like closer to 30).
  • Finish magic item cost rules
  • Water weird in druid paths wants to dance with the party before it lets them in. Ice caverns form the paths.
  • Later, to use druid side paths, a korred guardian will want to dance with the party to let them pass, having heard of their skills.
  • party wants to help Senningford against bandits. Bandits are out of rookroost, which is huge and scary, under Arus Mortoth. Is there a mission the party can perform to gain cooperation from Rookroost? What would they have to do to dissuade them from taking resources from Senningford?
  • remember to have guardian of druid under paths when leaving oxton area.
  • work out who has been at frost palace before the invaders, decide what happened with them. Probably laid out in a courtyard, mostly. Maybe there was a funeral pyre. Take into account that it was winter - hard to dig, maybe not too much firewood, but frozen corpses don't smell

    • Rookroost Raids?
    • Kingdom of the Ghouls (should go from about 10-12 with prep quests (about 36000xp each char), then up to 13 or 14ish assaulting the ghoul armies and the main city?)
    • fogback attack?
    • crabwalk of the slaads 15-17
    • return of durgeddin 18-20
  • Quill wants to lead an expedition back to elven village, get some of his stuff and finish looting the place. Sharing with those he brings, could still donate 1 BP to the kingdom
  • will Ulren be able to come after the lasso?
  • at some point, Althon's collection of Durgeddin blades, Milo's blade, and Durgeddin's anvil if the party has it are seized by devils or something. Durgeddin or his soul has been trapped, and someone is trying to use him to forge a world-threatening weapon. Maybe orc-affiliated? orcs would remember durgeddin, and like fury. if the party has helped elves in the past, maybe there's a way they can get correlon's help to take out gruumsh's other eye? Durgeddin could be a horned devil (maybe improved), ruling an army of bearded dveils (appropriate), with subisidiary other creatures like imps, merregons, spined devils, etc. Things that use weapons.

Did she disappear into some extraplanar dungeon? besides rescuing her, what else? did she go there to solve a problem that still needs solved? Has she stirred something up that is now going to be a problem?
  • set up reverse links from wiki pages
  • Joramy, volcano goddess might get stirred up?
