[QUOTE="Wik, post: 5425266, member: 40177"] Well, one of my players does post here, pretty frequently - Blargney the Second was one of the players who got the ball rolling. And there are no "plans". I knew what the BBEG was doing, but I wasn't sure if the PCs were gonna go after her or follow up on some other plans (they have two days before there's a huge political announcement, and I figured they might take some time to pursue their own goals). But they went with the assault on her home. As for the allies, they are essentially being used as a distraction to pull a good chunk of the BBEG's forces outside, so that the PCs are not fighting 100+ soldiers to get to her. As for how I'm handling it, essentially, I'm letting the PCs hear various results of the attack. Already they've seen a lightning bolt strike near where their forces are, but they have no idea if it's from their side, or the enemies... As for what their hard work will get them - they've hated this NPC for a while now. She's done some bad things in the campaign world, including being indirectly responsible for the PC drow rogue getting infected with the abomination disease. This NPC has made attacks on multiple allies of the PCs (which was why it was so easy to get forces), and has generally screwed up the feywild. So, the PCs hate her. I'm really enjoying where it's going, and I can't wait till next week! [/QUOTE]
