[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 6294477, member: 40413"] (Nothing new here, really, just a bit of remix...) Hmm... the 'lost soul' idea flips the concept from agents (through debt or service; reluctant or otherwise) of the Witching Troll to the Witching Troll being an outright antagonist. I'm not sure I like that direction for the whole group though it is fine if you want to use that idea for your character. In fact, a cleric who has lost his soul (or luck?), likely by some sort of fae trickery, makes for interesting story, I think. And I think it is fine we all have different reasons for associating with the Witching Troll or his minions. Khirynnax would be a willing agent, having given up his (albeit peripheral) place in the Summer Court and traded his service for what he sees is beyond the Courts of the fae: primordial magics. Note: I see Khirynnax more as a wizard in the style of the Riddle-Master of Hed (though it's been a long time since I last read those novels so my memory might be off) than a faux D&D-styled druid. 'They say you can't squeeze tears from a stone, but I'm gonna try,' --Trickle. Trickle wants something from the Witching Troll and is cocky enough to think he can get it without making a fae bargain. So he'll hang around until he thinks he can take it and then be on his way. Trickle and Slice, partners in crime, living the life of lawless, hardened rogues? going after the big score that will either set them up or give them the resources to pursue their goals/excise their personal demons. Meanwhile, Brier going after an object he believes will get him the attention of the fae and the cleric pursuing his lost soul-gem. Same job, same night... Continue on with BF's ideas: -Job goes bad -Rescued by the Witching Troll's agents (a minor one, and least monstrous of which is Khirynnax?) -Whispered promises Using all of this binds each of our characters in multiple ways to the Witching Troll.
