[QUOTE="Gwarok, post: 3268033, member: 12249"] [b]Good ideas[/b] Well the goals of the PC's is hard to pin down. They're basically up for anything, although they don't have anything specific they are trying to do. I was hoping now they have all this power and influence they might take a more active role in the things that go on in the world but I might be expecting them to do things as I would which has me worried I'm on the wrong track. Thom seems to want to just become more powerful, and maybe start an academy of magic which I'm not sure how to go about running. Seems like a heavy administrative thing to do. Domingo wants to regain his rep as the greatest assasin in the land. To this end he's gone about setting up a thieves guild in Stein and controls the gambling and some rackets involving trade skimming. A bit beneath him in my opinion but he seems to have a lot of fun doing it. I've actually set up an NPC named Adam Cross who is actually a Pit Fiend possesing a man. Cross has insinuated himself with the big merchant houses of Stein but is totally corrupt, and has had many dealing with Domingo. His ultimate purpose is to corrupt domingo and bring him back to evil ways so as to get his soul. Thats actually been kinda fun, but that when we run solo adventures when Thom's player can't make it. Actually the dragon is connected to Erythuul, he's the scion of Eyrthuul specifically. The PC's are aware that he has risen before and generally speaking what his intentions are. After that last adventure the dragon did capture roughly 50,000 souls which equates to 500,000 xp for the casting of Epic spells. We'll see what to do with that. I wanted him to have a cadre of high level orc shamans and warlock types, but its all a bit fuzzy at this point. One thing I really wanted to do was have a war between the dragons and the Emperor of Ur-Domen. I wanted it to be more focused on Chaos vs. Law than good vs. evil. With the 3 cities caught in between. The Chaos is the big thing, with him trying to draw in forces from Limbo as well. I do like your idea that Xanaphia doesn't know exactly how to become a Demilich yet and has to raid the necropolis for that information. That would be a sweet way to have her intentions be revealed. She doesn't really wander the surface, as she is still queen of the drow. Plus the drow actually still remmber alot of what happned before. When they were sealed in the underdark Lloths protection prevented the spell of forgetfullness from reaching them. However the population of the drow was always a bit small. Several thousand at most, but they were all pretty powerful and used summoned creatures and slaves for labor mostly. She is currently putting down a small rebellion of those still worshipping Lloth but its mostly crushed and a few survivors now hide deep in the underdark, below the halls of the drow queen. The main thing the drow DON'T have is arcane casters. They have a few, but mostly conjurer types, and specifically lack abjuration, as the priest order didn't want them immune to any of their divine spells and could more easily maintain control. I will keep the Far Realms/Thanok arc in on the back burner for now. Thank you the feedback. [/QUOTE]
