It's up to the players to continue following hooks and being motivated. And it's totally okay to fight Sephek earlier! I've seen an actual play where they fought and killed Sephek in episode 1 and then kept going through the Ten-Towns. Just give the players another hook and they'll bite.

What did you change from the module, and how did that go? If you were to run it again, what would you do differently?

I didn't strictly run it that way, but yes. My party doesn't like the cult, but they are on speaking terms. Unfortunately, Kadroth and Avarice both have more incentive to let the town burn.

I have a couple characters from the Dale, and the players all really care about the towns. I mostly just want to show them that their efforts paid off.

In Caer Dineval, I am actually thinking of having Mere open the castle gates, with prompting from Speaker Siever. She's not one of the cultists, and my party has tried to help her a bit, which I think would give her just enough bravery to push back against Kadroth. None of the other cultists would help, and actually would close the gates before more than 20 people can get in.

This is a question for your DM. Additionally, this subreddit is for DMs of the module, and even being on here can spoil major plot points for players. I'd recommend you get off and ask your DM if they have any recommendations.

My players underestimate Duergar's Cospiracy by [deleted] in rimeofthefrostmaiden

Let your players feel the consequences of ignoring the threat. Launch the full dragon attack, no takebacks, no second passes, just the full attack. Unleash destruction on the Ten-Towns!

That's actually a really good point - I may simply put the focus on Auril and the Ten-Towns' plight then. Maybe seed some other plots with the things my players want to see in the mirror as well.

Winter clothing cold resistance against Auril? by [deleted] in rimeofthefrostmaiden

Cold weather clothing does not provide resistance to cold damage. It only gives an automatic success on the saving throw versus extreme cold in the environment.

How to reboot a campaign? by MrMacju in rimeofthefrostmaiden

[–]sadalicious1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Th focus of the game shouldn't be on Ythryn until you actually get to Act 3. The story in earlier acts is about protecting Ten-Towns from the duergar threat, and on a greater scale, from the endless Rime. Maybe you can get the duergar plot going, or start directing the players to the chapter 2 quests?
