They didn't get to be big bads by being stupid. No, they find a niche and take it over. Example: The red wyrm from my campaign Razinus Peralin. He lives in Mount Etna (you know the one, in Sicily - the one that's still occasionally active). Somewhere in the middle, at the heart of a labyrinth of lava caves and bridge complexes that put Fellowship Of The Ring to shame. He's been there for centuries; he wiped out a Roman Legion when they started getting uppity, and he considers himself the absolute ruler of the nearby port city Catania.The PCs sailed into town, bold crusaders for justice, and before their first night was out they were working for him. Razinus loved his town (whether or not it realised it was owned, like a jewel only smellier), and when something threatened it he took action, not by burning it to the ground but by using his vast intelligence to set adventurers on the track. Really, anything more would be beneath him.Proactive, well-protected, connected yet remote. Is that what we're looking for?</blockquote>
