[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 2410256, member: 20323"] Geez! I couldn't help thinking when I looked over the player's roster, what a mean and nasty group of PCs you have! Is anything sacred or holy to these scumbags? ;) Since all I know about Thay is there are slaves, I'll run with that theme... [b]Hound of Bezantur[/b] One or more of the PCs' slaves turned up killed. But not just dead, slaughtered in a hideous fashion, ripped apart and mauled. When other slaves find the body, they try to hide it from the PCs, fearing a witch hunt for the killer. If they successfully conceal things, the next week another slave died. This time the PCs are sure to hear about it. The older slaves whisper about "the hound of bezantur." Their investigation begins with the slave's body in a classic forensics scene. If they don't take steps to dish out some hush money or quiet people, the guard will be called.
