Running this for the first time. My players took the cobalt soul track and are about to encounter the netherdeep after the alyxian aboleth. In the other factions I noticed the gaining of ruidium (ring of red fury, basically every other consortium mission), but in the cobalt soul they have a great axe that they found with the death embrace, and they managed to convince Jamil to give them the short sword they got in mission two. It seems like the netherdeep is not made to be traversed without ruidium, but that leaves 2 of the 5 unable to traverse.

Any suggestions for/against just having them encounter more ruidium items? Any others experience something similar?
