[QUOTE="Kugar, post: 2401338, member: 442"] Hi PC, I like the way you are splitting your story hours. Sorry for my absence for a while but I have had some recent RL joy that takes up a lot of spare time. If you are still soliciting ideas, here are some. If I was Ioun, I would be tempted to grap a quick power-up. Maybe I would drop the location of one of the worms, ponder the ability of the seals to survive the death, and acquiesce to requests to accompany the defenders to check it out in order to gain some quick experience. Leave to the good old boys to know where all the really great monsters are. [font=Arial] [/font] Of course, since the death of Imbindarla, most of his higher level custom spells are a wee bit unpredictable - so he'd much rather use these wands and stuff until he has time to work out the kinks in his magic. There also has to be some sort of Doomsday Cult out there who's membership has skyrocketed. Maybe they have a leader who is courting worship and has a plan to acsend into godhood powerful enough to take on the Dark Hunger (or plan to assasinate the Hunger somehow) I am also surprized none of the party's patron gods did not want to get any of the profile boosting action. Aeos could have taken that power, destroyed all the undead once and for all and obliterated the profile. As time goes on and the Hunger becomes more powerful and comfortable with his powers, the involvment of the Defenders might come into more question. Do you see the Worms as a primal source of entropy of destruction, or do you think they are intelligent enough to have a plan for revenge once they were released? With a well developed game world and high level characters, there is one type of sub-plot I think you can pull off. Hide and seek. There are various nefarious bad guys who would love to see the defenders chasing their tail or spread too thin. One divination\detection proof baddie with teleport can make the Defenders have to make some "strategic" decisions. There are various people places and things scattered across Spira and keeping them all safe would be a job in and of itsself. The pressure builds if the situation cannot be resloved before another threat starts. I know the Mechanus plot was March/Dead Gods inspired so you would be remiss if the antagonist of that story did not greatly benifit from the party's negligence. It could make the situation on Mechanus seem like candy-day and put the realtive weekness of the Dark Hunger center stage. [/QUOTE]
