·35 min·1 clip

If it's like they're having a hard time with wave 1, I'm not going to drop wave 2. The players felt like they won.

Mike Shea prepares his Dragon Empire 5e campaign for the upcoming session after the party defeats the Infernal Machine arc. Now at 11th level (tier 3), the characters face a new quest: smuggling Wyvernir Mooncowl (son of noble Baleth the Hidden) out of the Dragon Empire and into Nurean Atal using their smuggling operation. Mike discusses how to scale this seemingly 'low-level' quest to match tier 3 stakes, reviews character advancement and magic items, and shares his expert difficulty-tuning approach that lets players feel challenge without apparent GM railroading.
