[QUOTE="Trit One-Ear, post: 7281560, member: 6678017"] Go for it! I'm loving these ideas. I think my party is pretty tired of punching at shadows (just wrapped up a chapter of political intrigue and unmasking the true villain behind it all) so I may not draw out the reveal quite as long as I'd normally like, but this has certainly gotten my wheels turning! Thank you. I'm particularly excited about making an assassination attempt or two on the heroes while they figure out what's going on. Nothing like returning home to people mysteriously trying to kill you! My plan now looks like the following: Party arrives at the city, has to manage to find entrance (as the city is on lockdown). Have to find some contacts to help them understand what's going on - perhaps old friends, or making new allies. At least one of these allies will secretly be a Drow in disguise ;) After that, to uncover the truth about the new ritual they will have to a) Find the entrance to the Underdark b) Journey into the Underdark to a nearby Drow city and c) Uncover the truth (including the fact that one priestess is siphoning off the dragon's power, unbeknownst to her fellow Drow!) either through force, guile, or politics. Leaving a good amount of this open for my players to find other ways around, I feel like I have a pretty decent starting point (just in time for tonight's session!) Thanks all! Trit [/QUOTE]
