[QUOTE="Herobizkit, post: 5669876, member: 36150"] For me, I would not enjoy the doppelganger route, mostly because "it's been done to death". I (as a DM) would create a legitimate reason why the King would have gone from swell guy to despot in the timeline provided. Everyone makes mistakes, and Kings are no exception. You could reeeeeeally mess up the PCs and have them sucked into a Domain of Dread as a result of their actions. Perhaps it would be here that the reason for the King's turn to evil could be found. Borrowing from the Seven Samurai is a great idea. You could have the village aligned as Lawful Evil (that's why they detect as evil), but their leader actually be a decent guy, and the townsfolk love him. The town Lord is incensed and will fight to the death. The PCs will realize Something Foul Is Afoot when their King later absorbs the land they were hired to eradicate... and turns the whole place into a strip mine. What's in the mine? What, indeed...?
