it went as well as you might imagine. had trouble getting the party to do what i intended for them to do. the fact that i had told them beforehand they might die didn't help the situation much. the party didn't learn the story of Osiris nor interacted as much with the cult of Myrkul as i had hoped, but they did manage to coerce the sheriff of a large town to give them a recommendation letter in advance. overall, i have much to learn.

i am a headless chicken thrown into something new and frankly, quite exciting. outlining the basic premise and looking up a few stat blocks a few minutes before the session is NOT enough of preparation. having a set plan of action makes me seem like an author not willing to budge and change the plot.
