[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6817239, member: 5834"] [b]Vizeran and Apothicas...[/b] This provides a look at the relationship between Vizeran and Apothicas, so you can see some of the choices I've made for relating the NPCs and PCs. I usually conduct these role-playing exchanges over email to allow for more robust and interesting role-playing. I usually get a few good responses. This helps flesh out the PCs and NPCs personalities. _________ Vizeran calls his son to a meeting in his study, “My son, I believe vengeance against our enemies is but steps away. An opportunity presents itself that we can take advantage of. Two of our house live. They walk in the dark, but their steps are as the footsteps of doom for Menzoberranzan. You will guide their steps, so that our final vengeance is exacted. And the city that the Spider Queen holds so dear is no more. We will prove that the treacherous Spider Queen has betrayed our people. From the ashes Menzoberranzan, we will build a new order. One ruled by the masters of the Art.” Vizeran is one of the most powerful mages Menzoberranzan has produced, rivaling Gromph Baenre. He was banished long ago, sent to die in the Underdark. He used his arcane skill to survive. He lives in a concealed tower. He likely had you at some time during his isolation in the Underdark. He does not worship Lolth and intends to pursue undeath should his magic be unable to achieve immortality. Apothicas nods his head, almost as if bowing to Vizeran. "Two of our house live? How have they survived. Are they hear in the Northdark? How can I find them?" He half sneers, “I have found them.” He forms an illusion calling up an image of a drow with a hard and cruel face dressed in mail, “This is Tytus DeVir.” With his other hand he forms an image of a drow with less of the hardness and cruelty, but alike in appearance to the other drow, “This is Jharzzle, his brother.” “They are in the gray dwarf city of Gracklstugh. I will send you there. You will find them at the Ghorlborn, wait there until they return. Then you will approach them, especially this Tytus. You will tell him that you are of his House and you have the means to revenge House DeVir and destroy the Spider Queen’s enslavement of our people.” “We will need not only he and his brother, but the entire group he travels with. If you obtain his assistance, as I expect you to do, then you will lead them to Mantol-Derith to obtain a ring from a human named Ghazrim. That ring will lead you to Gravenhollow. There I shall meet you and truths shall be revealed.” Apothicas knows Gravenhollow to be a legendary library where one can read the past, present, and future. Vizeran has visited the library many times, but he has not yet taken Apothicas. This will be a first. "Ghorlborn. Manto Derith. Ghazrim. Gravehollow. It will be done." Apothicas states matter of factly. [/QUOTE]
