[QUOTE="dreaded_beast, post: 1774304, member: 11185"] Great ideas! One thing that I am worried about is the inevitable questions: "What are the Chosen doing?" "Isn't Elminster or Khelben doing something to stop this?" "Can't we get the Harpers to help?" ..etc Should the "big boys" (the Epic NPCs: Elminster, Larloch, Drizzt) be in the background taking care of business as best they can or should they be obliterated entirely? If obliterated, should it be done on-stage or off-stage? I'm more for having some of the real big names (like Elminster) show up and try to help the PCs stop the coming chaos, then get obliterated right before their eyes. Other NPCs, like Wulfgar, Randal Morn, etc., could just get killed off-screen. With all these great ideas, I'm not sure if I should just spring this all on my players next session. I REALLY want too, but at the same time, I think giving hints (unexplained attacks, strange omens, etc.) for the next few sessions may add to the mystery and the final surprise when all hell breaks loose.
