[QUOTE="Uller, post: 6332915, member: 413"] ...it suits him. I agree. I served in the army for 9 years. You never play your whole hand for the reasons you mentioned. It's like playing poker and revealing your highest bet and entire hand after your opponents' first bet... So some more info: We have four factions... Orcs: Led by Harglevargle (ettin). His main motivation is keep control of his tribe, maintain supremacy over the dwarf slaves and keep the Thayans happy and out of his hair. I don't think he'd be dumb enough to accept a pyrrhic victory unless his only other choice is annihilation. Dwarves: Mostly noncombatants interested in survival. They may be inclined to help the party with information or as distractions. Their king is senile and holds the only means to the Thayans completing their mission. He just doesn't remember (the PCs have the means to jog his memory but they dont know it...so in some ways the Thayans need the PCs) Thayans: Luuthgar and Skannon are the only two out of five Red Wizards remaining. They are after the fourth of four elemental keys which is locked in an altar on the orcs' level of the dungeon. Their leader is Arvik but he is not what he seems and Skannon is imprisoned because she is suspicious of him. Luuthgar's twin was slain by the party but the twins are able to use the other's body as a phylactery like a lich so Luuthgar wants to be sure to survive to "rebirth" his brother in 1-10 days. Arvik/Nadir: the leader of the Thayans...except that he died weeks ago. A raksasha named Nadir has replaced him. He wants the Thayans to succeed but he also wants at least some of the PCs to survive because they are instrumental in his plans to destry the soul of an NPC. Only Luuthgar and his imp (and a couple dwarves) currently know of the presence of the party. [/QUOTE]
