Hello everyone,
I'm currently DMing the Eberron adventure "Eyes of the Lich Queen" in 3.5 but i'm a little lost and apreciate any help.
On part 2 - Finding the Path, after the group recovers the journal, there is a section with the title "THE JOURNAL" (starts at page 50). In this section, it details what information the PC's will encounter in the journal. Here is the final statement of this section:
"The directions to the tomb outlined in Eliam’s journal were actually the explorer’s escape route, mapped and annotated as he and Thraxis fled the island. However, in a key passage that appears to be written after the adventure, Eliam laments how Thraxis briefly obtained the journal and removed a number of pages. These detailed the runes and symbols copied from the entrance to the tomb, as well as the artificer’s own notes and interpretation of that information. The journal indicates the path the PCs must follow to the tomb’s door, but the secret to opening that door is on the missing pages."
So basically, and reading the bold part, the PC's know how to get to the tomb, but dont know how to open it. So i guess the next part, were they need to rescue Thraxis I can understand. What i dont understand is, why do they need to map from the Prince, if the diary already has that information?
Any help in understanding this is appreciated.
