City of the Dead - Braeys or Koda? Spoilers Potentially

[phaze]

After running two groups through, one on each side, I was curious what experiences people have had.

I worry that I missed a story element in the Cursed Mines with the cultists. Was there more than the two crystals to smash? After the ominous build-up of Koda working cultists, the story thread seemed to fizzle.

I much preferred the Braey's side as the Crypts had really neat story development that set-up the experience well. Additionally, it seemed like there were extra observations from the party about the Surface than I experienced on the Koda's side. I really hope the story arc with the Kodas picks up after the city of the dead. We get so much more exposure to the Braeys through the plot.

Ohhhh! Now I feel dense. Also, really curious now to play that side under different scenarios.

And also meet with Koda in episode 4 for a follow-up conversation.

Does that mean that if you didn't wipe out the spider cult you might encounter them again in E4 still on the rise?

contributor - when you arrive in E4, all of the storylines you did or didn't do in E2 will advance to their next phase.

I would love to see Brunehorn completely taken over by the Spider Cult and them leading a full assault on the CoD! I'm sure that Balgair would find a way to get out of the way, just in time.

Oh and what of the Volpa if we didn't skin the big bad wolf!?

That sounds like spoiler territory ... but it might help explain why E4 needed a holding pen

I have to say that you guys have done a good job with the story. The end of E3 threw some real twists in and it's not easy to see how all of these things will be resolved. As I think about E4, I'm at least as excited about the story (if not more) as I am about wreaking havoc on the forces of evil the threaten the human survivors.
