It would be reasonable for someone to summarize the answers to your specific questions, if you had some.
The Cradles scenario has the players making sure the first cradle in centuries, containing a giant baby, makes it to the sea. The Lunars are trying to stop it (and capture all the magical wealth aboard). One of the participants is Garrath Sharpsword, presumed to be Argrath. According to King of Sartar, Argrath's side wins (we won as player characters, a dozen years ago, too).

True enough, but you can play an all-Troll game quite easily. And in most campaigns, the *humans* are outcasts from their community: they're adventurers.

It's by definition correct because you're the GM, but it's not by the rules. Critical hits get "past any armor or other protection the target has" [Players Book p.55] The Protection spell "acts in every way like normal armor."

Jonas Schiott did in his East Wilds campaign, so I do too: the Udari. <http://www.pensee.com/dunham/ralios/hsunchen.html> They're one of the smaller groups now, but were probably much larger prehistorically (on some of Greg's out-of-date maps, there are large marshes in Ralios).
