[HOE] Hellstromme and Death

[Dusarat@aol.com]

I had that thought too,

Hellstromme imprisions  death, and the party trusts him... but...

All he imprisons is a big skeleton thingee that has friends.  It kills a bunch of Ravens undeads.  Whoo hoo.  Now, if it killed an entire army with a glance and the party was next, then it would be more believable.  But as Death never kills anyone, well, how Death could he be?

And I agree with Kavi, it is really wrong to have the whole focus of the adventure (the capture of the Four hosemen) be done ofscreen.  The adventure is a glorified courier mission.  It does seem so much more interesting to have the party an integral part of the capture.  

As for How, I like Kavi's idea of the empty box, with a twist.  All the Reckoners must be captured at the same time.  How do you get all the reckoners at the same place at the same time?  Well, all your party needs to do is capture one servitor (Capture, not kill) from each horseman and at the climactic moment, they use them all to summon the horseys, grab the box, and run up to the ship.  
So the End of The Horsemen on Earth becomes a West Spanning epic and once you've caught a servitor, hoody hoo, how you gonna keep them (the nice part is that you don't have to feed 'em).
