Copper crown question
My group just started with Symbaroum and after 4 sessions we are loving it.
I am leading them through the copper crown mini campaign to get comfortable with the rules and flow of the game (before moving them to the throne of thorns), and we have just finished the second adventure Mark of the beast.
The group has defetead Alahara/Gorak and the fake inquistor, and recovered the copper crown- and after short deliberation, decided to bring the crown to the elves (as they dont trust the church nor ordo magica to deal with it properly).
They also found the iron ring artefact, wich one of the players is currently wearing, and he made the initial contact with the elves through the dream sequence. So the party is on their way to the clearing in the woods where first contact will happen.
Since this isnt really a resolution the adventure had in mind for the copper crown- any ideas how to handle the situation without creating a mess with future adventures would be greatly appreciated.
My idea is for the elves to refuse taking the crown themselves, but sending the players to return it to the tomb where it was found- but that may mess up the following adventure in the chain.
Thanks in advance
