Endings:
4 endings were fully prepared for the descendants campaign:
- Players learn and figure that they can use the Tarrasque to save(?) the realm basically saving themselves but dooming the dragons (this is the ancestor echo ending)
- Players can decide they will be turning the wheel after all, trapping themselves (sacrificial “better than we were” ending)
- Players can learn to use the crystal network to destroy the island, killing dragons, and a high risk escape scenario that ultimately stops the production of Warforged along the way (good and bad ending)
- Players could decide not to do anything, and can work with Presidith to leave the island for good and let the realm be. (Bad ending)

Bottle-Episode Esque bit where the players explain what they can do to each other, what good skills they have as far as surviving goes. · Emphasis: Players get to know each other · As the storm starts to subside at dawn, they can explore, search for life, any indication of where they are, etc. But the beaches seem to go on for a while, and the land seems untouched. · Survival checks to hunt down material and such. Maybe start working on weapons. If the players go too far east/west on the beach, have a coastal encounter with the large decapod
