I'll be DMing "A Wild Sheep Chase" by Winghorn Press as a One-Shot for some of my friends on Sunday that have never played before (and some who have), I've only DMed a couple of sessions before so I'm still pretty new.
My main question was how to run the encounters at Noke's Tower. So the three apes and the bear are all outside and Noke is on the central platform. The module states that Noke will not leave the platform unless there are some crazy persuasion/deception skills going on. So here are my questions for those of you who have ran it::
If the party decides to just outright fight the guards how is Noke meant to support them if he is on the central platform and not outside?
If the party manages to get by the apes by sneaking or some other means and manages to get to Noke how are the guys outside supposed to support him?
How is he supposed to bring his guards with him if the party persuades Noke to come out (again guard outside he is inside)?
How is Noke supposed to be able to notice the party before they reach the middle platform since he is inside?
I've been finding these aspect of the encounter a bit confusing. I'm sure I'm just missing something but I'm not sure. Any input would be appreciated!
I would not run anything like that for their first time. I would just do a simple meet up in the adventurers tavern and a young man runs in covered in blood screaming about the goblins that attacked his family and they are barricaded in and he needs help freeing them. After a round or two of fighting they run off. You help the family out. Then track the goblins to a cave some distance away and explore the cave to get them.
Ha I ran this about the same time and ran into difficulties with this encounter too. This probably already happened, so I guess this post has no purpose.
I responded because sometimes people will look to see if a question was asked.
However, it would help if the forum could be modified to show thread suggestions when someone is starting a new thread. Like for the question of why when people buy a book from a game shop they don't automatically get the book here. etc..

Old post, I know, but.
