Hey Kelnas,

Thanks for your work on this. SKT can be a little intimidating. My question is about the teleportation conches the giant lords have. Are you saying that 1 conch teleports 1 person, which is the reason for collecting more than one conch? If not, why bother going after more than one?

Thanks,

Mark

Thanks for writing! Yes, my suggestion in the guidebook is to motivate the PCs to visit all (or at least more than one) of the giant lairs by by limiting the teleportation power of each conch to one person (or perhaps two people per conch for a large party). This is described on p. 32 under Eye of Annan (second paragraph) and p. 33 under The Oracle (first bullet). There are lots of ways to run it of course (including the one conch/one giant lair approach as written in SKT), but I just love the giant lairs and think many players will appreciate having a reason to visit more than just one in the campaign.

Hi Kelnas, I have your product and have found it very useful and insightful, however I have a query relating to the encounter with the Kraken Society Cultist. What is he doing before the attack by the Crag cat? Why does he flee with the child and to what purpose? I understand this is to foreshadow the existence of the KS but it appears to lack a rationale.

Thanks Byrom, glad you are finding it helpful. Good question, I probably should have fleshed that out a bit more. There are lots of possibilities, but in my mind his original goal was to get to Yartar to join the KS enclave there (perhaps he received a telepathic tip), and on his way he encountered the travelling family so decided to join them and abduct someone at an opportune moment to take to Yartar as a gift. After getting injured in the first crag cat attack, he decides the time is now during the second attack. Hope that helps.
