Key figures are too well protected, but once a plethora of mid-ranking Watch officers and and nobles are murdered, Waterdeep will be a gripped in chaos.Perhaps it is time for your red dragon to ally with the Cyricists of Amn or the Shadow Thieves (IMC, the Cyricists are strongly linked to the Shadow Thieves as well) so that these assassinations can be arranged?2. The blighting of Goldenfields. Waterdeep relies heavily on the temple-farm for its food. What if your red dragon had in his possession an ancient relic of Moander, perhaps a rod?, and he traded this to Talontar wererats for their use against Goldenfields.If you have the BoVD, perhaps the rod allows the Talontar to form hiveminds of dire rats, albeit with the plaguebringer template from the WotC website. Can you imagine a force of the Guard being despatched from Waterdeep to put an end to this rat plague, only to succumb to disease?Also, if the Guard are being used to replace lost Watch officers lost to assassinations, as well as for rat-slaying duty, do you think that Waterdeep will be able to whelm an army to march north?One more thing, perhaps Arcane Brotherhood-sponsored pirates could also be involved, seeking to stop the flow of food, in particular, from reaching Waterdeep.Have fun!CheersNPP</blockquote>
