[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 3445614, member: 20741"] IMC, Smenk persuaded the characters that Ragnar Dourstone was up to no good. Smenk, otoh, was a hard-ass businessman that the PCs decided they could trust. Go figure. The PCs ultimately snuck into Ragnar's mine and fought their way through his guards to reach the elevator shaft. The PCs had to run from the Ebon Aspect, and ultimately killed it at the top of the elevator within the mine. When Ragnar saw what had happened, he ran for it as the PCs talked their way out of a further fight with Ragnar's remaining guards. So IMC, the PCs ultimately exposed Ragnar but he got away. His lands were escheated and ultimately found their way into Smenk's hands. I had Ragnar be the prime force behind the assassination attempts on the PCs during the events in HoHR and Champion's Belt - though the PCs never really connected the dots. Ragnar got away again from the City of Greyhawk after the Ulgurstasta was defeated. Ragnar was also, not incidentally, the villain who sent word to Ilthane of the specific identity of Allustan and the PCs in Diamond Lake that had wrecked her plans with the Lizard Folk near BlackWall Keep. He's been trying to kill the PCs to take his revenge for quite a while now. The PCs will meet up with Ragnar again - and his ally, Loris Raknian, together with the remains of the Ebon Triad in Alhaster during the Prince of Redhand. I have found that with just a little tweaking, the plot flow throughout the early part of the AoW flows rather well. Ragnar has been the golden thread that has run through all of the first six adventures in my campaign. [/QUOTE]
