[QUOTE="Kugar, post: 2415054, member: 442"] PC, What if Spira were sentenced to die? What if there was (or maybe still is) something or someone so dangerous to the rest of creation that it was deemed prudent to destroy it by other pantheons or beings more supreme than the current gods. Could Imbindarla been the only god not rebelling against a direct order from an "overgod"? The worms might view Aeos and crew as criminals and tainted. Perhaps there is an ancient file in some cabinet tucked in some ancient hidey-hole in Sigil that used to belong to the Fraternal Order that lists "All natives of Spira must die a horrible, excruciating, soul-devouring death" as a fundamental law of creation. What secrets could be buried in the world that would make the judgment just? What if Imbindarla thought she found a way to control the worms? That would explain her part in the comet cycle. Could she have secretly taken on a "god of unknowable secrets" portfolio (which of course no one knew about). What if the bargain for destroying the worms were restoring Imbindarla's powers to one of her proxies. Maybe her death was a gambit, and her followers are moving the final pieces into checkmate. What if something the worms have already eaten has survived inside the worms for all these years. Could the answers they need be in the gullet of the beasts? Are the PCs strong enough to survive the journey to find out? There has to be at least one leader who has a skilled seer as an advisor and wants to help. Maybe he is sleazy, and has no real knowledge or ability to help but bluffs his way in negotiations (there is this ancient library my people know about...), is overzealous (what do you mean we are not going after them - I just mobilized my armies. Who's going to feed them? or Oh, I just sent a my favorite group of adventurers after the worms), or opportunistic (Mobilizing the armies of Gaunt? You don't say!) If Elder was talking to StoneBear, maybe there is someone the other worm was using. Wouldn't it be funny if one of the members of Eversink's ruling council up and vanished all sneaky and hurriedly like with lots of bloodshed. I wonder how the negotiations would go if they wanted to ask the DoD for a favor. I can also see a croc-hunter type of world devouring worm expert. . "Crickey! This is one of the largest world-devouring worms I've ever seen. Let's take a closer look." "See while most worms have no teeth, this one has some sharp fangs that could take your arm right off." Wham! Spurt, Spurt. "See just like that." "Normally you would get a friend to help put that limb back on, but as you can see I am in it's soul-eating gullet. If you look real closely you can even see the half digested remains of all the other people the worm has recently swallowed. Wait, it's getting dark in here. Either I just failed a will save or I'm fainting from loss of blood. Either way I'll see you next we....' Kugar [/QUOTE]
