[QUOTE="Noodle, post: 5617587, member: 6676731"] Hey y'all! I can't tell you how excited I am to run Zeitgeist - enough that I'm dumping a SoW campaign that our group has put 2+ years into (reaching early paragon) as soon as we finish up the current adventure (~ 2 more months/sessions). Anyway, my players are starting to prep characters for the new campaign. I have one wanting to play a razorclaw shifter monk, and I'm trying to help her work out a background. Her idea is that she's a first-gen shifter, the child of a Risuri human father & a were, and her parents sent her off to Ber where she'd hopefully be more accepted growing up. As an adult, Ash was skilled enough to be accepted into the [I]executores dola liberta[/I]. My idea was for her to be falsely accused of corruption, but the investigation was inconclusive, so she was exiled (rather than having her name cleared, or alternately, executed). Returning to her native Risur, she was accepted into the RHC which saw a use for her obvious talents. Ash's player decided that she'd like the above to be a cover story - that the higher-ups in the [I]execudores[/I] actually want an undercover agent in Risur for some reason. I'd like to accommodate, but need some help coming up with a plausible mission/reason. My initial thoughts after reading the player's & campaign guides: [sblock] The [i]executores[/i] are concerned about the Panoply on a couple fronts: [LIST=1] [*]Is the Panoply, despite their professed goals, really a way to have a new elite (of the educated rather than the nobility)? [*]Does the Panoply in Risur have the same goals as the one in Ber? [*]Is the growing influence of Risuri within the Panoply really a backdoor for Risuri meddling in Ber affairs? [/LIST] Does this list make sense? Are the Obscurati tied in to the Execudores at all? Should I plan to have the Obscurati try to recruit her? [/sblock] Thanks for any & all suggestions.. [/QUOTE]
