[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 447809, member: 2067"] Here's a random thought. The PC's begin the campaign against some evil church of evilness and evilosity, killing priests, destroying temples, et al. They did *such* a good job that a high ranking priest from the local good church sees them as the potential saviors! He thinks they're so great, he'll send them to fight an even greater evil, because no one but they can do it! Of course, the high-ranking priest giving the mission is actually just a cleric/rogue with a lot of Bluff and one similar domain, and he's Evil, Evil, Evil, and was also a high-ranker in the church of evilness the PC's recently destroyed. The Prophecy becomes just another excuse to get rid of the PC's, for him, but perhaps all around the PC's and the priest expect them to be victorious. Build up their confidence. Give them "ancient holy weapons slay the evil!" ...and then the evil nearly kills them, throttling them well enough to put them in the underdog position. Now, the campaign is all about how the PC's get back up and uncover the priest. And perhaps in the course of this, they find out that perhaps they almost fit a philosophy anyway....one that casts the priest who sent them here as the Great Evil.... ....though getting the townsfolk to understand that *may* be a bit difficult. ;) Anyhoo, just an idea. :) [/QUOTE]
