Except they invariably latch onto the one character who is only covered in my GM notes as “try to remember to toss a generic cleric NPC into the tavern on the mountainside if the party needs healed mid-session”.
“Oh, you mean that John McHealsAllott. Yes, he’s still here. No, you’re not able to get him to open up about his past.”

Nice module, clearly better suited for a short campaign. 🐟
