But that forced them into action. They eventually got out and felt vindicated after finally being free after kalak died.

And the players hated it. So much that we canceled the whole after 5 or 6 sessions. I played it again two years ago, and I told my players that this campaign starts with them being slaves in Kalaks Pits. This was okay, but one of the players started a killing spree under the guards and so I had to beat him up yog_slogothnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6554678951038203308.post-31247140047382371352010-12-28T09:23:57.457-05:002010-12-28T09:23:57.457-05:00I did run this back in 2E and my players loved it,...I did run this back in 2E and my players loved it, even the slave part. Actually they liked the slave part a lot because it presented them with a real challenge wherein they had to survive with their wits, scourging for everything they had.

The players are mainly forced through the adventure with only minor decisions to make, and while it has some kind of retro-feeling to make the PCs slaves at the beginning of the adventure the players hate it.
