Hello, I'm running the POtA campaign and my group has stumbled into the sacred stone monastery before discovering any of the other elemental cults. Should I redirect them before they go too far to search out the other cults or let them go through to chapter 4? They are at level 3 so I know itll be a bit of a challenge at first but I think they can make it through the first part of Sacred Stone Monastery. Thanks in advance for any feedback!
I was a player in this module and we generally did the top level of each before moving on. It became obvious pretty quick that we were in over our heads in the second level of the earth cult at level 4. The DM didn’t want a TPK and even joked “I can’t believe you guys are doing this.” The combat itself said maybe we need some more experience if we want to survive.
Well, our DM laughed and said stuff essentially like that. If you don’t want to go quite that far, the fight with the gargoyles at the beginning of the second level can be tough. And a look at the defenses may give them pause. we actually penetrated in a little ways and said maybe we should revisit this later. Could always make The fights a little tougher or some noise about reinforcements coming into a fight. That might clue them in.

Thanks for the insight. Any thoughts on how to redirect without coming out and saying you gonna die lol?
