Why is losing a bad thing?  I'd say that setting it up so the actions of the PCs - on a strategic level - have little bearing over whether or not they "lose" removes a lot of opportunity to make meaningful decisions from the players.[sblock=Spoilers for the RttToEE]I'm changing it so that the cult's goal isn't "THE END OF THE WORLD" because I want to continue on with the campaign even if bad things happen.The cult's goal is to unleash another Invoked Devastation - probably on Furyondy, I haven't quite decided yet.  I changed some of the history to make the Twin Cataclysms related to Tharizdun.  Interestingly enough, in my research I discovered that the Elder Elemental God had a role to play in the Bakluni's calling of the Rain of Colourless Fire.  EGG had this to say about its role:It is said that Dorgha Torgu is the outcast of the deities of Oerth. This is because he is the one from whom came the Rain of Colorless Fire upon the Suloise Empire, thus violating both his Neutrality and his charge. While the Invoked Devastation of the Suel was wrought through the vilest of the Evil powers, the counter response was unjust despite provocation. Swayed by the evil counsel of Vilp-akf 'cho Rentaq, that alien thing which is called an Elder Elemental God, Dorgha Torgu bent dimensions and loosed unnatural elements in his charge so as to precipitate upon the Suel realm the near-invisible and unquenchable flames that consumed the land, burning even rock to powdery ash.- Oerth Journal 12Now while EGG didn't intend for the EEG to have any relationship to Tharizdun, that's a big part of the module.[/sblock]2. I don't think the fact that the cult is trying to accomplish something is a secret.  The actual timeline - what the cult is doing day-to-day - is probably a secret, but if the PCs discover it, then they discover it.  That's another meaningful choice to make: how much time are you going to spend gathering information vs. getting in there and mixing it up?</blockquote>
