[QUOTE="77IM, post: 6679987, member: 12377"] I currently have four villains. They are not totally original, so you may recognize them, sort of. 1. Vanifer is a traveling entertainer who is good friends with the party. She helps them fight off pirates. They don't know she's also leader of a fire cult. 2. Aerisi Kalinoth is the cousin of a PC, who is trying to "rescue" her from the "brainwashing" of the air cult. Aerisi thinks she's a super-hero, flying around saving people, when she is not in her secret identity of Dara Algwynnen. She rescued the a PC from a shipwreck, for example, and in return the party rescued her from being petrification. They refused to go along with the air cult's human sacrifice, though, and it remains to be seen what they will do about Aerisi's involvement. 3. Dr. Primeval is a traveling merchant who runs a magic-item shop out of an enclosed wagon. A mysterious figure who always wears a hood and a mask, he's always trying to make deals with the PCs, and has recently given them the generous gift of a cursed crossbow. He is secretly Marlos Urnrayle, the leader of the earth cult. 4. Gar Shatterkeel is a ruthless pirate who the party hasn't met yet but who is rumored to be sailing up and down the Dessarin river in a three-masted warship. The PCs very much want to meet him because he has information vital to two of the characters. It's unclear how they expect to persuade him to share the information. All four villains are searching for the magical lore needed to open a portal large enough for an elemental prince of evil to step through. Right now, Dr. Primeval is closest, since his earth cult captured a dwarven delegation with some of the info, an the party sold him some books containing more. The PCs have also shared some of their books on elemental magic with their good friend Vanifer. [/QUOTE]
