[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 4893156, member: 17691"] One BBEG I ran dabbled in all manner of productive activities for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to: • Supplying and running a gray-market drug trafficking network. • Using the proceeds from his drug trafficking to set up a lycanthropic breeding program using expendable female slaves to birth mongrel offspring which could then be trained as feral mercenaries. • Plundering the Banewarrens to collect the most vile artifacts imaginable. • Killing and beheading his own daughter once he realized that his affection for her had proven a liability to his plans when he was made to rescue her from the PCs. • In reprisal for attacks by the PCs, inflicting a holocaust on the populace of a large city by unleashing a handful of the worst Banes he'd pilfered from the Banewarrens including: - thousands of [I]curses[/I]. - thousands of [I]nightmares[/I]. - an unstoppable [I]Doom Fog[/I] which spreads and inflicts amnesia upon all whom it touches. - an aggressive epidemic soul rotting disease that slowly drains its victims of a Wisdom and Charisma. • Using the chaos created by the holocaust to capture and convert panicked citizens into fanatically loyal thralls by forcing them to drink from the [I]Black Grail[/I]. • Using his thralls to slay citizens and then convey their bodies back to a magic cauldron that animates their bodies so as to form an ever growing legion of undead skeletons. • Using the Phylactery of Forsaken Souls to create spectres, who in turn form an ever growing legion of spectres by slaying panicked townsfolk. • Using artifacts to gate in two Pit Fiends. Sometime after the city was abandoned by the few remaining survivors and the PCs, the party succeeded in tracking down and finally slaying the BBEG in his extradimensional fortress; thanks to the help of his terrified son who sold him out to the PCs.
