[QUOTE="asdel, post: 2613587, member: 21444"] Again, thanks for the feedback. The game session is next week, next Thursday. I am considering having not the inquisition but rather the shadowmen spying on the Ranger and the Fey Queen. The fey later attack the PCs (because they are paid to) with the jealous and vindictive Fey Queen exacting her wrath on the ranger who rejected her. Meanwhile, the shadowmen loop round and flank the fey. They are annoyed at the duplicity of the fey, for considering turning sides, and their leader is outraged that the fey queen dare look at another man. It has all the making of a grand, chaotic melee. The fey are toast, and then the battle betwen the shadowmen and the PCs comes to a conclusion. It appeals to me sence of the Epic Battle. (As a player, I lean towards action, and that is reflected in my GMing.) From story-telling perspective, it enforces the age-old theme that evil turns on itself, something I hope to use a few times before the ultimate finale. Still, having the inquisition come to the PCs aid has a lot of merit. I'd envisioned a confrontation between the PCs and the Inquisition in the future, with the inquisition as rather reactionary villians. But, given my group of characters' penchant for revenge and general distracted-ness, it might make sense to give up this story line to focus on the shadowmen. Finally, I've given some thought to having a group of druids waltz in and present themselves as allies. Perhaps they are tipped off by the good fey, or a prophetic dream. In context of this email, this probably doesn't make much sence, but it would be a reward or pat on the back for the cleric of nature, a character who's player is a good solid member and is deserving of a bit of special attention. This would also give me the option to introduce a potential patron. Thanks Mike [/QUOTE]
