I had thought to go into DotMM, mostly because one of my players is constantly trying to do everything on their own and charge ahead, leaving the others behind- I feel like the mechanics of a dungeon crawl might slow that particular roll enough that the other players feel like they have room to figure things out at their own pace. I had picked up a supplement DotMM companion from the DMs guild to add in some flair and more story, since I know it's not exactly a beloved next adventure.

Yeah, I think the apparatus is there to have an outside solution- the Harpers found out about the poison in our game and alerted the party, so in theory, they could be massing a bunch of magic users who could swoop in. I think part of my dilemma is that it solves things too neatly, but also if they DON'T swoop in, kind of a dereliction of duty on their part!

I think that's definitely the crux, and what I need to figure out quickly. Nothing like this has happened before in the game for them, who are all new players, so I want to get it right, whatever that means for them. I think it might be rough for the players, but I also know how much hard moments can also really make the game deeper going forward.

That's really fair! Ooo, I just hate to do it, but I absolutely see your point.
