[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 4652103, member: 114"] Back when I was running an Eberron game I did this very thing - it was a blast! Problem - the queen of Breland has been killed with a Keepers Fang. It is all being kept hush-hush and the party, as the most powerful people in Breland (~8th level) are commissioned to recover her body. Research reveals that only one person has ever rescued someone from the Keepers domain before... Mordain the fleshweaver. The PCs unearth some Xoriat secrets as introductory presents, and manage an audience with Mordain, of whom they are all about as scared as scared can be. Most of their interaction was via a homunculous who had a different number of limbs and features each time they saw him as a result of his masters whims. Mordain agreed to help the party if they completed 4 research missions for him first, and he gave them five options to choose from. He used a mirror of mental prowess to transport them to the location and observe their progress. Unfortunately on their last mission the party end up killing the young gold dragon children of an ancient golden dragon archmage; moreover a golden dragon archmage who had access to an artifact known as the 'web of motes' which allows skilled users to track the relationships between people. The last they saw of Mordain was him in panic forcing them through the mirror into the demon wastes near the entrance to the keepers demesne after a short debate with himself about wiping them out utterly in order to reduce the likelihood of the dragon tracking them back to a relationship with him. The party did eventually succeed in their mission (although with many deaths along the way), they will always remember their creepy audiences with Mordain and his homunculi. Cheers [/QUOTE]
