[QUOTE="Andrew Moreton, post: 7808519, member: 6920268"] As a side plot I have come up with too late for me to use. The ragged man serial killer is a Deva and a veteran of the Yerasol wars, driven mad by wild magic from the fighting on Axis island he lurks in the shadows of flint tracking down, murdering and eating parts of this victims. I would probably aim to get him caught in book 2 or 3 and make him a slayer or unchained rogue a level or 2 above the pc's so he is a bit of a challange but armed only with a dagger or 2 and lacking the equipment normal for the npc. I would let the players catch him either via police work or some clever use of their campaign Shtick( Veteran works out the pattern of killings and can intercept, Vekeshi gets street fey to tell him, the Urban empath gets something from a victim, the Stargazer can plot his horoscope etc) . When they catch him they kill him or he gets executed , then the problems begin. As a Deva if he falls too far from grace he reincarnates as a Rakshaha (My cosmological idea) probably a Dandrasuka Raksaha with class levels to make it a proper threat and it goes after the pc's but not directly instead striking at freinds and family, as a clue it also starts to steal Jewelry which is a compulsion of these things. Have it mess with the pc's heads a bit and then they can get a lead on it either interfering with their prep for episode 4 or when they are busy with episode 5 dealing with it should not of course mess their plans up too much for the main plot but give them a feeling of pressure. At this point it is either dead or it is always going to reincarnate and come back after them , in which case they will need to find a way to kill it permanently. Maybe they can consult with eladrin scholars , or who ever else you think is useful and then come up with a way to kill it which will take them some effort [/QUOTE]
