Cutting Slanty Tower?
I'm considering cutting Slanty Tower altogether and wondering if anyone else did. I dont really want the introduction of the summer and winter courts as I really want to focus on the hag themes.
I'll be running Telemy Hill as a surprise skill challenge when the whole ground lunches upwards unexpectedly. Telemy Hill is our chance to learn the Rule of Reciprocity. I love Phaerlax's Nightmare on Telemy Hill, but perhaps I'll cut to the chase allowing Jingle Jangle gives them a chime of opening, but it has 1d8 charges so they dont go ham. JJ can let them know its incredibly loud so thats why she doesn't want it. Plus, it's too hard for her to part with a real key given her obsession/compulsion, but this one isn't a real key so feels easier.
This of course lends itself to a few other loose ends:
What's in the crashed balloon? Is it taxidermy parts (foreshadowing)? Since Bav is more tied to the present does she like to know the comings and goings of her domain so uses bullywug surveillance systems?
Why is Morgort imprisoned? Is she the scapegoat for the theft of the Big Book of Bad Blood, and now working with the Baron of Mudstump? Is she instead the jailer for questioning, or perhaps just whomever works the balloons is the pilot?
Any other plot points I'm missing or that others did with this?
