[QUOTE="Cristian Andreu, post: 6809268, member: 23822"] 1.- Foreign hordes are invading the land; local chieftain starts attacking neighbours in order to ensure the survival of his people. 2.- Vigilante priest starts murdering corrupt rulers. Knows he is damning his soul because of this, but believes that's a fair price to pay to ensure others don't get to suffer. 3.- Wise king learns that their whimsical god has decided that the next ten thousand souls he receives will be tortured for eternity. Sends out his legions to kill ten thousand people elsewhere in order to fill that quota as fast as he can and thus spare his subjects. 4.- Alchemist accidentally unleashes a brutal plague. Decides to fill the waterways with horrifying parasitic worms that, when embedded in the person, can fight off the worst effects of said plague. 5.- Seer believes he has seen the future; starts kidnapping people he is sure will commit crimes later on. Turns out he's just being manipulated by a devil. 6.- Illithid with amnesia starts eating brains in a desperate attempt to remember his past. 7.- Ancient dragon historian determines local humans are going down the exact same path of mutual destruction as their forefathers. Decides to burn the capitals to a crisp before things escalate. [/QUOTE]
