[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6665325, member: 92511"] Basicaly where I was going. I should specify, when I said "Merchants from a far off city", I was thinking like a huge powerful merchants' guild/organization...not just a coupla guys that came to town. But groups of individuals, with money to basically do whatever they want...and that becomes manpower and guards/mercenary soldiers with their increasing caravans of resources. They are, absolutely, intended to be the ultimate Big Bad...not just this village, but of the whole campaign, so eventually taking the party out of this valley (perhaps by force or under the auspices of hiring them for some other mission?) and to that city, eventually, to "take down" the guild (or at least overthrow the leadership and "save the land/city/all of humanity" from these guys. They are decidedly secretive and "unsavory" to do business with...but the type that don't give you much choice. The extent of their influence, corruption and power, however, (since we're talking about a campaign) should be revealed slowly and continuously at different moments as the party levels up. [/QUOTE]
