Perhaps we can expand upon the options here at The Comeback Inn? How would you modify it Yaz?
Difficult modifying the Episode (to make it a bit less railroady) while not touching the campaign changes introduced (SPOILER ALERT: last but not least the death of King Uther!!!). Perhaps sometimes, in a long and eventually massively epic adventure arc, you need to introduce at some point a railroady episode.
Said that (and said that the Garthropod are really cool monsters...) I like that The End adventure starts where the very campaign started: at the Comeback Inn! I like the fact that there is some time travelling (very appropriate in this place) but in the plot I'd perhaps added somehow Khoronus or some other Time related Immortal (even Thanatos actually claimed that in his Immortal portfolio!). Anyway, apart from this detail, I'd say that the hook is great and very appropriate for a high level party!
The encounter in the future with King Uther is really epic, but as a character I'd like to have a chance of having the Day of Legend cast on myself, instead of the King or of the Grand Inquisitor Col.
The way Uther's succession is dealt with, although completely fair, is a bit below the level of epic of the rest of this Episode... I'd expect something more fancy, like going in the Bleakwood to retrieve the twin girls (that we know... isn't it RobJN?) or some other extravagant heir. Perhaps even Ewan Andahar would have done better than the option proposed...
Then there is the attempt to assassinate the enemy general and destroy the means of controlling the Garthropods (that, I repeat, are really cool monsters...) Perhaps there could be other possible actions to be done? The succession of events doesn't leave the characters much choice.
Then the characters are attacked by the Drakon’katha (they are very cool enemies as well...), in this operation there is an ally that will be killed, by the way, and again there are not many options allowed...
Then there is a very welcome plot twist (or better: surprise) and the Immortal behind all this fracas is revealed (and why not revealing an Immortal that instead wants to stand by the characters, such as, perhaps, Khoronus, as mentioned?)
...and then, unfortunately, after a very dramatic plot twist, we are all left on a cliffhanger... perhaps forever...
Pretty difficult introducing big changes in how the story proceeds, as far as I can understand...
