[QUOTE="blargney, post: 692953, member: 2689"] How about a [i]stone to flesh[/i] food farm? I know that the ghouls are all nominally under the control of somebody who's virtually deific, but are there factions within the White Kingdom? Anybody who's willing to sacrifice some other ghoul's principality to the Defenders in order to further his own cause? How efficient is the communication between the ghouls? Do they guard the secrets of their undead technologies from each other, or do they share everything? Is there a war or a truce between them? Are they using the time they have to develop new weapons and support technologies? Are there resources that are in short supply, or anything that's particularly crucial? Any trade routes or supply lines that the Defenders could disrupt? It would be nasty to have someone [i]send[/i] them a message that something they hold dear is being attacked or destroyed while they are incapable of doing anything to help. A subtler way of giving them this message would be like finding barrels of Shire pipeweed in Isengard. Have you developed any feats for ghouls to overrun victims? Maybe an undead prestige class that gives teamwork bonuses to groups of ghouls. Sort of like Valdek's sword... Hmm. Would your players hate you if you brought him back as a True Ghoul? It'd be a nice little present for Velendo if one of his followers researched a domain spell that works like a [i]Magic Circle Against Ghouls[/i]. Maybe giving a bonus to Fortitude saves vs paralysis. Hope this helps! -blarg [/QUOTE]
