[QUOTE="Ry, post: 3536591, member: 8314"] For anyone looking to use Gorgoldand's Gauntlet as a lauchpad for a campaign: Gorgoldand was poisoned by agents of the Red Dragon Ashardalon, but managed to transfer his consciousness to the Hoardmasters (they had been designed both as a adventurer-monitoring device and as a backup plan for the gold dragon). The Hoardmaster in the Gauntlet is the last of the Hoardmasters Snooky has access to. The Hobgoblin witch Jibigi has discovered that Gorgoldand is in the Hoardmasters and has sent a small riverboat of hobgoblins to retrieve it for her. She intends to use it in a nefarious ritual. When the players near the area of the Gauntlet, the Hobgoblins are attacking a small village to steal supplies for the last leg of their mission. This is a quick way to establish a long term conflict (Gorgoldand vs. Jibigi) that can be used for a lot of different hooks. Until the players discover that Gorgoldand is in the swords, he can act as a compass pointing towards evil that needs a-thrashin'. I would say that Gorgoldand can manifest as greater and greater Coin Dragons as the Hoardmasters are collected. To foreshadow this, just have the Coin Dragon bow before disintegrating in the first fight, and have Hoardmaster detect as good. Jibigi I picture as morphing through different hag forms over time, extending her powers and machinations as she collects Hoardmasters. She has a few hobgoblin warrior-chief sisters, Murigi and Kigi, and the hobgoblins under her have lots of access to ships and riverboats. [/QUOTE]
