Message: <blockquote data-quote="ScottS" data-source="post: 4469843" data-attributes="member: 75465">Death's Ride:[sblock]A nearby NPC dominion drops out of contact with the outside world. The PCs go to investigate; it turns out the entire place has been crushed by an undead army. The party roams around the dominion destroying the invaders. (I don't recall if there was a specific justification for the PCs not being able to just march their army over, other than the time pressure of trying to beat the bad guys before they eat more helpless townsfolk etc.)[/sblock] Sabre River:[sblock]A river running through one of the PCs' dominions was the site of an ancient Teutoburger Wald type battle (with I believe the Alphatians playing the part of the Romans). The defeated commander cursed the river and the land around it, which leads to an "environmental disaster" of sorts in the present day (anyone drinking the water randomly dies, goes crazy, etc.). The party has to figure out what's happening, recover the commander's sword, and stick it into a "tumor" at the source of the river (so at least two major dungeons as part of the quest plus assorted minor adventures).[/sblock] Earthshaker:[sblock]Gnomes bring a giant steam-powered robot to the PCs' lands as part of a travelling circus. The party gets a guided tour of the inside of the robot; while they're there, an evil party (+ minions) infiltrates the robot and tries to steal it. PCs have to figure out what's going on and stop the baddies (again, don't recall how much limitation there is to the party teleporting in/out, whether there's any time pressure due to the baddies possibly sending the robot on a rampage, etc.). This one is sort of problematic in that it's obviously somewhat more 'whimsical' than the others, e.g. the pregen characters are all sort of old-and-fat-yet-still-capable Watchmen types (the wizard in particular is so senile that he has to be continuously led around by a low-level apprentice).[/sblock] Where Chaos Reigns:[sblock]The PCs get "volunteered" by the Immortals to save another world. The far future of this world is somehow corrupted by a high-tech civilization, which uses time travel to intervene in their distant past and make the future world "less magical" (usually by strengthening human nations and eliminating non-human races in some fashion). The party gets taxied through the various historical eras when these interventions took place, defeating the baddies at each step and transforming the world into something more D&D-like the further they go.[/sblock]</blockquote>
