I have this cool idea for a Dragon Star campaign, but it needs some good details and suggestions.
Basic idea is the characters get assigned to a strange "retreival" mission. Seems a Half-Dragon son of a powerful Silver Dragon has fallen into some bad company and is being a bit of an embrassament to the family and ruining himself. The characters are assigned a discrete mission to "convince" the half-dragon to return home for "re-eduction" in proper family behavior.
The Half-Dragon is currently on a luxury resort planet with some wild friends living it up an distrubing the other guests. This is a really exclusive resort planet and so the characters have to go in disguised as guests. The owner knows about them, and allows it since he's under pressure, but he insists none of the other guests are disturbed.
One strange feature of the this planet is a period magic/techno storm that completely isolates it for a month at a time from all external magic and technological interaction (communication, travel, etc.). This is actually a selling point for the planet, making it a real "get away spot".
The planet had no sentient life when the empire discovered it, and no dangerous animals or creatures, but was a complete paradise otherwise (for water and forest loving creature types, though it has other nice landscapes for other tastes).
Unbeknownst to the characters, a group of secret Empire agents arrives at the same time. They have discovered an ancient power on the planet that they want to awake to serve the empire. The thing they awake kills them all and then starts on the guests.
I mainly need suggestions for dealing with the Half-dragon and his friends and their interactions with the characters.
Thanks.
