My crew is very completionist, having come from a long dungeon crawl. So they went over the Carnival in that fashion; no butterfly wings left unturned, right? Took us 4 2.5-3 hr sessions. I expected this and was antzy to get them moving, but whatever. Once we were in Hither though, out in the openthey have been more into exploration (kinda new to this dungeon-crawl-crew) than inspection. Trudging through the swamp, arguing w the Ranger about their course, seeing the Jabberwock in the skytheyve started enjoying overland DnD, a first for them! Your crew may act the same once set free.
