You're welcome and may your dice roll well.

I was nervous as hell and did make a few first-time DM mistakes (like too many active NPCs). Solving the problem by killing them off actually worked nicely to intensify the feeling of risk the players felt. phew. To my surprize, after the weekend of play was over, all of the players informed me that they felt the campaign was a great success. The problem is...they dont want to wait a year before reconvening for another big session (as we usually do). So, I have only a month to write Chapter two of "The Culling of Life". This scared me into thinking that I could only bungle things up; thanks to your posting here, however, I already have plenty of material prepared and my new chapter is looking like a store bought adventure filled with exciting encounters and a plot that ties up all of my previouis loose ends. So i write here just to say Thank You So So Much! You may have just saved the lives of 5 fictional heroes. >.o -Rukkesh, ranger of Abeir-Toril.

For some reason, the Funeral Procession really pops out to me. I'm going to use it in my next single session game to start the adventurers out. Thanks for the resource. These are great ideas.
