[QUOTE="Storminator, post: 1477893, member: 305"] I was DMing a Red Wizard group, and they had big plans. They wanted to kill Simbul. So I started thinking about what that would take. Attack Simbul and very shortly you end up with Elminster and the Seven Sisters attacking you. So you need to short that out. "Easiest" way: take down Mystra. How? Enlist Shar. Attacking Mystra means you need to deal with Azuth. Hmmmm. Perhaps Savras could be interested, as he had Azuth's portfolio before him. OK, so work backwards. Get to Savras, figure out how to free him and set him to work on Azuth. Savras knows things, so with the right firepower to back him up, he might be able to replace Azuth again. Get in tight with the Shades, and see if you can f*** up Mystra. I had this idea of making a Shadow Weave artifact that turned a spell-fire weilder into a "Weave Burner," chewing up whole swathes of Weave. Kill the Weave, kill Mystra. Turn the whole affair into a big distraction for the Chosen so you can whack the Simbul. So you've got Shades, you can use some Red Wizards, but some won't like you trying to kill the Weave, and perhaps the Twisted Rune can be aligned with Savras (not toooooo much of a stretch), so you've got bad guys galore, you've got various god plots, you've got epic NPCs, artifacts, rearranging magic, run on sentences, it's all good. :D PS [/QUOTE]
