Tell me more about high Perception, my eladrin artificer has passive Perception/Insight of 42 at level 13. If you're looking for Ob officers, check the roster at adventure 7, personally I'd try to introduce Vicemi Terio. An interesting tidbit of information is that he's Risuri in origin, kinda continuing the line of McBennin and Saxby, and being a ghost with at-will invisibility gives him a lot of opportunities to talk with Lya's bodyguards undetected (he can literally never show himself through this whole adventure, which will help to prepare dramatic reveal of his appearance in adventure 7).
My female players had this danorian Fordren Guy as an NPC in her background story. We had startet the first adventure an she mentioned him to her RHC partner at some point comparing him to other industrialists. She had defined him in her story and i wanted to involve him with a twist. Right now she has an uneasy truce with this Fordren and i kind of want to see her face when she later allies with him against the OB. I do not want her to discover him being a dragon to early.
Playing good Industrialist versa bad Industrialist is a nice idea. I would paint Pemberton more the "bad" guy to later on strengthen the shock wenn they discover more about Fordren. Thanks for the idea.
