[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 7279663, member: 63"] Dang, I wonder why I stopped writing this. The campaign was supposed to have three acts: 1. Uncover a plot by House Orien to draw out one of their own, Hawkins d'Orien, who committed horrible crimes during the war on behalf of the family. They wanted to keep him from going public, and so threatened his former squad mates. This act climaxed with a meet-up at a Lightning Rail station between Hawkins and his father Gehn, and a tense scene to stop Gehn from derailing the train as he tried to flee the city. 2. Root out the monster crime syndicate Daask, which had far less intrigue and more monster slaying and dungeon crawling. The highlight was a huge dockside skirmish that involved air, land, and water forces, after which the medusa head of the gang ordered Ugly Nick's dog petrified and his head snapped off in a Godfather-esque retaliation. (The lowlight was the party making an alliance with a weretiger troll who was in charge of all the trolls in the sewers of Sharn, and to seal their pact he insisted they eat some of his body. He chopped a piece off, let it regrow, repeated the process, and served them in a bowl.) The campaign actually fell apart due to scheduling problems during the summer of 08, the session before the party was going to storm the Daask headquarters with backup from the Redcloak Battalion. 3. Discover that Victor Saint-Demain was committing nefarious crimes, and his chief minion was Arthur Knight, the journalist who kept publishing negative articles about the party. This was going to use material from Nic Logue's "Chimes at Midnight" trilogy from Dungeon magazine, but it never was to be. So instead I wrote ZEITGEIST.
