I dunno...the party has picked up the shifter woman, Delilah, who wishes to find the wizard Argos and make him pay for what he has done.  They can't use the lightning rail, because as part of the plans apparently masterminded by Argos, conductor stones at random points along the rail have been replaced with forgeries that will explode after gathering enough charge.  The party is riding on horseback from Passage to Lathleer, where they will resupply.  I plan on them running into Gilad, a Silver Flame paladin they have a history with, there.  He will arrange for them to join him on an airship that is heading to Flamekeep.  At Flamekeep, Gilad will learn that the succubus who raped him and bore his half-fiend son (a son which Gilad and the party killed in a previous adventure) has been seen near the edges of the Mournland.  Knowing that the party seeks Argos, who is rumored to also live at the Mournland's edge, Gilad asks their help.The quest will lead them to a town which resides under unusual circumstances.  During the final days of the Last War, the townspeople were approached by Argos and a deal was forged.  In exchange for access to the Manifest Zone below the town, the wizard would preserve the town and its people from any coming horrors.  Using the succubus to power the spell, Argos put a barrier around the town as the Mourning occurred.  The townsfolk were safe, but they were now forever trapped in another time -- the magic barrier kept them alive, but it also kept them frozen in the days before the Mourning.  Argos used the magics of the Manifest Zone to create his mock conductor stones, and constructed himself a new tower near the town.  This tower became his home, and is the one which the party now seeks...***edited to add *** Whoops... I forgot to mention the Orien part. When the rail plot was first discovered, the PCs captured Delilah and the warforged she was working with, and were instrumental in the capture of the House Orien traitor who had been involved. The PCs kept Delilah in their custody so they had some sort of leverage with the House. The House was all friendly and allowed them to participate in interrogations and whatnot, hoping that in the end Delilah would be turned over to them. Then a living fireball got loose in town (which the PCs got blamed for, don't ask) and Delilah got away, which got any PCs hanging out at House Orien kicked out and the entire party added to their "crap list." By now Cresius and the warforged have both been silenced, and now that you mention it, I guess the House would be looking for the gang now -- especially since they've got Delilah the side-switching shifter with them now... *** end edit ***Like I said, I can't help but feel like it's missing something.  Anyone got any ideas what that may be?</blockquote>
