→Act One - Mountain Pass: Added dialogue options
(→Encounters: I changed this to reflect that it won't always require a deception check. I'm literally at that point in my save right now and after having Lae'zel speak for the group and urging her to "play along" Voss did not require any more checks and simply flew away. I can't confirm it's always like this, my ruleset has passive check notifications turned off, but at the very least, under circumstances, this only happens sometimes.) |
