[QUOTE="arkwright, post: 8699335, member: 6925177"] Mmm, lots to consider with this particular issue. [LIST] [*]It's hard to trick the players that Flint is the key ritual site when there is a 500-ft iron colossus elephant missing from the room. But, that's only a problem on the day. [*]Your players may quickly deduce that Axis Island is where it's at. My players figured it out from the Convocation materials- not the stuff I created, just Han Jierre's vague description of the ritual site. [*]To some degree you don't [I]have[/I] to trick the PCs because falling into the Dreaming at the Lance of Triegenes ensures that they are in Flint with not enough time to go to Axis Island (short of teleportation, but then the island is well-defended anyway). [*]But, you do need to explain why Risur isn't promptly seeking out and invading the real ritual site over the course of Act 2. The answer I came up with is that Danor is fortifying the island with everything they've got and even a full assault is not guaranteed victory or to even stop the ritual. Which is kinda hard to believe given how war works (short of the entire navy being at Axis Island, Risur could surely temporarily break through and seize the island). But then, Axis Island has war-colossi. [*]If you tell the party/the party figures out about Axis Island, there's the question of why isn't Risur interfering with the ritual. The convocation shows some nightmare post-Ritual scenarios, and as-written the party has no idea what the final system will be. For all they know, they could wake up in Watchmaker world. [*]It's possible that Kasvarina is your best bet. 'Well, the ritual is going to happen and it doesn't look like we can mobilize in time to interfere/prophecy says we won't succeed. Best bet: track down Kasvarina and get her to interfere with the ritual to either stop it or insert more benign planes. As an Ob triumvirate member, she should have that power/opportunity.'
