9. If you are a DM, please remind your player characters
that there are a set number of days or weeks to finish an individual task. Failure to meet that deadline results in dire
and/or deadly problems for the inhabitants of the Keep as well as the travelers
on the road and river. The overarching
goal of the module is to take down the Shrine of Evil Chaos, before it becomes
a serious threat to the safety of the inhabitants of the Keep.
Keeping the Keep in Lawful control will cost much less in
lives and resources, than attempting to retake the Keep from the control of
Chaos soldiers. If Chaos takes over the
Keep, the entire river valley would be at risk of being taken over by
Chaos. Imagine the river valley being
similar to the Columbia River starting from the headwaters in the Rocky
Mountains of British Columbia, Canada, to the Pacific Ocean.
For a DM, starting characters should be assigned “Low
stakes” assignments. Low Stakes refers
to a situation, activity, or assessment where the potential consequences or
risks of failure or poor performance are relatively minor or insignificant. As characters rise in rank, skills, and
income raise their assignment stakes.
