So in Chapter 4 of RotRL the PCs end up finding an ancient library that tells them who Karzoug is, what Xin Shalast is and what a Tuneforge is and how to use it to kill Karzoug. My problem is that the next logical question for the players is to ask where a runeforge is… which is not available in the library. So the players are left just kind of hanging on this question and are expected to go back to sandpoint… just because.
My first thought was to tell them the location of the Runeforge but that would skip a good portion of chapter 5. So I’m thinking that the library could somehow point them to the scribbler and his ancient ruins as a method of finding the runeforge but I’m not entirely sure how that would go.
