The Drow War Book Two. The Dying Of - RoseRed

188
Aftermath
With the threat to the oases now destroyed forever, the
Sun King can move his armies across the desert and on
to the border with Jehannum. He wants to move them
now, and if the Player Characters do not give him good
reasons not to, he gives the order to move out.
Optional Twist: His eagerness may, however, be a major
tactical mistake. A force as huge as his massed Phoenix
Legions will not be able to provision itself indefinitely,
so the men will have to depend on the farmland on the
borders of Jehannum to sustain themselves, assuming
the drow have not seized all of the food supplies. More
importantly, an army camped out in the open would
be an ideal target for Scallandriax to rake with his
fiery breath, or for a drow sorcerer to bombard with
devastating spells.
Whatever choice the Sun King makes, the war must be
brought to a conclusion soon.
Rewards: The Sun King bestows rich rewards upon the
Player Characters in recognition of their service. He
gives them 30,000 gold pieces in coin from the royal
coffers and permits them the use of his court wizardsmiths
for any magical item manufacture they might
need. This allows them to have magical items made at
cost price (though they must still pay for materials and
other expenses).
Defeating the Tyrant and preventing the destruction of
any more of the oases is worth a story award equivalent
to a CR 17 challenge.
