[QUOTE="Deuce Traveler, post: 3655918, member: 34958"] Although the people of Pike are a mixed group of free and prosperous people, the invasion causes divisions that the Empire is eager to exploit. As the initial outposts fall to the invading Imperial army, several prominent human, gnome and dwarven guerilla fighters suggest using slash and burn tactics as well as poisoning streams and waterholes in order to slow down or stop the army. Of course human rangers and druids as well as the elves and halfling groups are completely against this course of action. Also, the clerics are of different faiths and each seek to prove that their own gods will save the people of the land from this devastation and demand prominence over the others. Meanwhile, the dwarves and elves take insult to the fact that their own people seem less important than those of others when it comes to building up proper defenses. Other rulers seek to keep their forces locked away in their own lands instead of sacrificing their relative safety in order to strike at weak points in the enemy line. Several allies that could come to Pike's aid are withholding their forces to see which way the wind blows before offering help. And rumors of powerful beings and magical items better left where they are buried might be sought by the heroes, although the cost of loosing them unto the world once more might be too much. The characters must decide who to convince to help and how, which points to defend, and what resources to seek before all is lost. [/QUOTE]
