This is a fun campaign, but my main critism would be the lack of threats it poses to the players. I DM this campaign for three groups, and all of them want a decent mix of combat en social. This campaign went overboard on the non-violence, and produced almost none combat creature in there appendix.
So this is why I'm here: - What little side quests can you all come up with? - Any fun random encounters?
For example, one thing I'm making now is an encounter where (evil) tooth faeries try to grab their teeth in the middle of the night. It's still in theme with the campaign, but it gives a bit of a combat encounter. Normally, in this domain you may not steal, but with Zybilna put to sleep, this can be easily neglected.
Sure. We have the Haregons, we have the snakes. And we have 2 or 3 random encounters that might be combat. But even the snakes are supposed to be sleeping.
When they reach downfall, they are not supposed to fight either, except 1 or 2 monsters; of which the tree is CR 7. There are 2 or 3 combat encounters in the first hags' house.
This is not plenty. This is after they've spend 2 or 3 sessions in the carnival, where there also isn't combat. I did not only read, also already DM'd these sections.

Met D&D in 1976 while in the Navy, learning Russian, and fell in love. We were steady for several years, then drifted apart and saw other people. Ran into each other a few years ago and the spark kinda rekindled, ya know? It’s an open relationship and I hang with GURPS and DragonQuest, but we’re all mutuals and it’s good. Open communication is the real key to any polydice, it’s the only real rule.

Did we read the same adventure? There are plenty of combat opportunities...

But thanks for the helpful reply...
