Thanks for the input! I like the idea, but in this case I'm not sure it would work because there is only one mind flayer. He's avoiding acting directly, and is just pulling all sorts of strings to get what he wants. The illithid is well aware of the duplicity of the devils, and his plan is to...

Hey everyone! I'm running Speaker in Dreams for a party of five newbie players. I'm having some trouble coming up with stuff for the second part of the adventure, when devils take over the town. Here's the short version: what would a tiefling cleric devoted to devils and his cadre do with pretty...

You should never just let the BBEG escape: it cheapens the story. There are, however, ways to accomplish this. First and foremost, I think you need to give something of a reward to the PC's for winning the encounter. Maybe a potent magical item of the BBEG, or a limb, as mentioned. Depending on...

The "investigate a disappearance" idea is great. Now, Hellfire magic should probably leave a telltale sign of some sort (charred remains and maybe a hint of sulfur?). This leads to a trip to the library, or a specialist within the school to discover. Of course no mystery is complete without a...

Here's an idea: instead of simply telling the players what they've been doing, how about asking them what they tried to do as they rose in power? You don't have to stick to what they say as the final truth, it's only their intent that matters. I think this could lead to lots of plot ideas with...

First off, I really like the idea a lot. The fact that it's an Angel they've made the promises to is different, and should be a surprise later on in the campaign. I'd strive to make the decisions very difficult with the information available at the moment, but in hindsight be for the greater...

Hi everyone, I'm a GM in an ongoing 3.5 campaign set in our version of the Forgotten Realms. One of my players decided to play a fighter-type with no memories of his past life. I decided to incorporate this into the campaign's current plot arc, and he is about to retrieve some memories of his...

I agree that a nomadic people would make more sense. You only settle if you have the means to grow seeds and herd livestock. In this case, it would be the hero's job to get a small population to settle a land, and thus begin civilization anew. The cataclysm should be at least within a few...

I like chain devils. They look creepy and scary. I never thought about having them control chainmail, though... I'll usually try to get the PC's to follow them to a warehouse/workshop so he has more chains and gets to use them for mobility. I'm getting a very cinematic vision of chain links...

Thanks for the tip, freyar! I've always been curious about the War of the Burning Sky Saga, but I never got around to looking at it very closely because by the time it came out, my campaign was ongoing... I think I'll take a look at it when I start a new campaign. New world, new gods are...

Ok, so here we go... I think I will make the entry point the mouth/nose area, where limited air will exist (turtles do not breathe underwater, but can hold their breath for long periods of time...). The obvious path will be down the trachea, to lungs or stomach... I think the stomach makes a...

Great idea, thanks a lot! I think I'll have a body on the approach to the turtle, trapped in the muck at the bottom of the harbour.

The plan was to go inside the turtle... Anymore takers? Is it just a bad idead? Honestly, I liked it... BTW, I was hoping for some input as well on point of entry (and possible exit), etc. As for the dungeon, I'm going to draw something up using turtle anatomy drawings, then make up some...

Thanks for the reply! I like the idea of making the "terrain" be the biggest difficulty. I would think travelling inside a gigantic animal would be rather disgusting. Uncrossable chasms, tunnels squeased at a moment's notice, mucus and blood. Also, would they have breathable air? Having the...

Hey everyone! I've been a long time lurker of the boards, especially the Story Hour(s), and I've finally decided to register and make a thread! I was hoping for some help for an adventure I'm going to be running in some time. I'm GM'ing a Freeport Campaign, heavily modified and set in my own...
