[QUOTE="gpetruc, post: 291170, member: 2255"] Written like this it seems a bit too dangerous for a single 9th level sorceror (arcane casters tend to have very few hp: if a creature, maybe with SR, is lucky enough to survive to the spells and pass through the magical defenses, she can kill the sorceror in a few hits) Maybe change a little the adventure path; an idea could be this: - the attepts to open the portals awakened the magic aura of the portal, that was sleeping for centuries - the aura collides with the remaints of an ancient netherese magical item: the item is not functional anymore, but it still produces alterations in the Weave. - because of this, ethereal creatures can enter the material plane as if there was a random portal - the only ways to stop this is are to permanently destroy the portal (that is far too much for the character's power) or to find that ruined magical item and bring it away. - as the rumors of the portal are spreading in the ethereal plane, the number and power of the creatures coming is quickly growing, so a solution to the problem must be found quickly - while some of the town local enforcers (or other, more fighting-like NPC) are desperatly trying to stop the coming invasion the sorceror must find the way to close the portal In this way there would be more investigation and less heavy combat. Also, you can place magical barriers and traps that can be passed only through a clever use of spells and arcane arts.
