hello all

hope you are all okay, I posted this question on FB and thought it would be good to post here too

I have a question to the floor around the Amber's Peak adventure site. My players are going to get embroiled further in this site. They have met with Dalb and are about to head to see the priest about the river ceremony.

So I was wondering who has ran Amber's Peak and what cool stuff did you create for here?

thanks as always

I gave the rest of the site quite much focus, the different factions and their goals, which gave my players a mission to get a glimpse of Z true face amongst other things. My PCs also represent another faction in the Raven Lands, a faction who also want to conquer Vond, which made them ambassadors in a way and they met with Z in his fortress, discussing a possible campaign against a common foe. I wanted to get the players intrigued by the fortress and maybe get them interested in some nightly break in. (They didn't though) I also tied this site to some events from Grindbone so the PCs had to stay here for a few nights before leaving and that's why I focused on the other parts of the site, the village, in order to have scenes to toss at them. For one, the rider Kalmax of Falender (Valley of the Dead), which my players stole some horses from a year ago, just happened to live here and confronted the PCs about that. They also had to track some fire breathing animals that had been harassing farmers and I also set up a meeting with an ambitious young lieutenant called Alabastor (Which may or may not "die" in the upcoming battle of Vond and.... I don't know... return in the Bitter Reaches?)

My suggestion is to focus on the different NPC in the site, their goal and ambitions to get the everyday life going and then feed the players some information of something they really want to lure them into the fortress.

Hope this give you some suggestions. Good luck!
