[QUOTE="bennyhobo, post: 5167808, member: 89606"] Oh, nice. I like the Last Crusade idea. Very good one. Well, here's the basic rundown of the story I want to tell. A lot of this was built based on what minis I've got, and building on the basic adventure and setting provided in the DMG. The party has just cleared Kobold Hall of it's inhabitants, including killing the Young White Dragon that was using the Kobolds to help build it's new territory in the Nentir Vale. They go back to Fallcrest to collect their reward from the Lord Warden and to sell some loot. There is a spring festival going on in the city, but no one yet knows that they have slain a dragon. So the party is still pretty incognito. They try to sell the Dragon lenses, but no one will buy them. They seem to not want to have anything to do with these things, despite their apparent value and power. The party then will be encouraged to investigate why no one wants to have anything to do with these things. At this point, we have the described pickpocket/chase scene. This only happens after they have told someone about the lenses. Until that time, no one knows what they've got. From there, they are told rumors of a village far to the north, across a great lake and deep in a forest. The benefactors/whatever of that village are a pair of sorceror sisters who would likely pay highly for those lenses to use in their rituals. The players will have to fend off attacks from more roving bands of Kobolds (or some other marauding creatures?) on the way to the lake. They'll need to negotiate with someone to use their boat to cross the lake (I've got a toy Pirates of the Caribbean boat that I want to use). They'll be attacked while on the water. They'll have to deal with woodland creatures trying to stop them from entering the forest (I've got a greenvise vine mini, a dire bear, and several other creatures that would probably live in a forest). The rest of it hasn't gone farther than general ideas. The village benefactors are a pair of medusa sisters who are trying to complete some kind of magic ritual to give themselves incredible power. I figured they would have some undead creatures at their command. They're using an old keep as their base of operations, which is surrounded by this run-down village. The villagers are being forced into servitude by these sisters to provide them with food and... stuff. The sisters want the lenses to help focus their arcane powers and magnify them to the point where their rituals can succeed much sooner and much more powerfully than they originally intended. There is also some kind of positive force which is influencing the woodland creatures. The party was being resisted, because this force didn't want them to bring the lenses to the sisters. With the Last Crusade idea, this positive force would perfectly fit with a third faction in the city trying to stop the party. So that's where I'm headed. I'm not going for "save the world" stuff here. Just a fun and exciting adventure. They're going to be level 2 after they kill the dragon. I realize that some of the default monsters I've mentioned are going to be way higher level than the players, so I'll need to scale them down some. Thoughts? Advice? Thanks! I'm really enjoying these forums! [/QUOTE]
