[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 8101411, member: 6803337"] Demogorgon: "If I can't have it, no one shall !" He wants to mess with Tiamat's efforts to enter the Physical World because doing that is something he cannot do either. It is just him being a pest, not something important (to him anyway). Metallic Dragons: Eventually the Lords Alliance &c are going to raise an army. The dragons can be used as 'air cover' for their passage. Firstly to prevent evil dragons from strafing the marching soldiers (and their supplies) as they go, second to keep nearby but neutral dragons from interfering with its passage, third to stop spying by Cult forces. I ran my [I]Tiamat[/I] as WWII so you could introduce dragonrider PCs as Bomber Command or specific ground attack missions (such as "trash the entrance to Adult Dragon X's lair so he is too busy building defenses against a follow-up raid to bother the army. We need him (or them) out of action for a week.") If you can find a copy of [I]Dragons of Faerun[/I] you can get some names and motives for the really big impressive guys who can choose to show up. Elves: unless the Arcane Brotherhood joins the alliance, the alliance is weak on magic power. Somebody has to create a Tiamat-summoning ritual so they can figure out how to sabotage the Cult's ritual. (IIRC, the PCs find some notes about this.) The elves are the magic guys early on. Go ahead and explain to leaders of a CG race why they need to learn heavy-duty NE stuff. Other possibility: persuade some ex-Chosen of Mystra to join the fight, noting that this is not normal Cult activity, plus the 'study Evil's ways' conundrum above. [/QUOTE]
