[QUOTE="Delgar, post: 1478302, member: 3195"] With Session 3 out of the way here is how things stand: I've introduced many NPC's: Merklo (Kobold, he fought with them in the arena the first time and stablized the minotaur once, now he works in the kitchen, they just love the little pathetic creature) Haplo (Old Human priest of Pelor, keeps forgetting the players names, showed them around arena, seems to have been here a while) Luccia (Arena owner, very pale humanoid, constantly staring at the human paladin) Zolam (Bugbear Trainer, constantly calling them maggots, and making them train harder than they ever have) Tordd (Ogre Trainer, Zolams right hand man, has HORRIBLE breath) Ph'belpol (Mind flayer councilor, sponsered them last game and gave them some magical presents, is hoping to have them beat another councilor's gladiators) Celene (Teenage Human groupie, big fan of the group, even more so now that the Centaur has a personal signal to give the girl after every K.O. she makes. The group is going to use her naiviety to their advantage) Other Gladiators: Brus -Ogre, bully. Picked on Merklo and almost started a brawl in the mess hall. Two of the players HATE Brus. Fights in the Elite Gladiator unit Rylar - Human arena warrior. (actually werewolf) Rylar fights in the elite gladiator unit. He often makes fun of Kandiel for being weak. Nilipi - Arena warrior: black-skinned female humanoid with wings This creature has a regal air about her and doesn't say much. She fight in the elite gladiator unit. Morn - Dwarven arena warrior Morn is not a surface dwarf, but not much a talker either. He hangs out with Tilum. Raz - Troll arena warrior Raz is quiet and meditative, but he also once beat up Bruise in the ring. Raz hangs out with Stig. Rugaki - Grimlock arena warrior Not the most social of creatures, but then in this group who is? Has started to teach Fredrick (Human Paladin) how to fight the unseen Sil - Githzerai arena warrior Never will you see a more high-strung humanoid. Sil fights in the elite gladiator unit. Kandiel has decided to tease him by showing nothing but affection for him. Snig - Goblin arena warrior Snig is really good with an axe. Stig - Orcish arena warrior Stig bears many scars on his arms from his tribe's rite of passage. Stig hangs out with Raz. Tilum - Gnome arena warrior You won't ever miss this fellow enter a room as he wears bright clothing and a foppish hat. Tilum hangs out with Morn. Zanol - Githyanki arena warrior This fellow doesn't say much and stays to himself. Ok, so last time they found out that Luccia likes to perform experiements/torture slaves and other creatures. So in the arena they ended up fighting a gelantinous bear and a couple of gelatinous wolves, as well as a flesh golem stitched together from the parts of some of the gladiators they fought with in their first fight that died. But they also, found out that she had a blink dog held captive, so they figured out a way to sneak in and rescue him and set him free. Now, what I need is some sort of interesting plot hooks I can introduce. Also, what sort of INTERESTING arena combat situations can I put them through? Any help is appreciated. Delgar [/QUOTE]
