[QUOTE="Blue Sky, post: 4120831, member: 12230"] In general I like to tie motivations into whatever the players have done before, so it strings all the adventures together. My first thought would be that this person profitted from the attacks from the goblins in some way, and is now upset that the characters interrupted his fun/money/etc. Maybe he provided weapons to Oakhurst (the town in The Sunless Citadel), and now demand is dropping off? Another idea is that there's something down in the Citadel that implicates him, and he doesn't know the characters never found it. Or he wants something in the Citadel, and he thinks the characters have it. As far as why the guy doesn't just kill the players, maybe he's under the same political/legal/social pressure that would just stop the characters from attacking him? For example, he's the priest in charge of the local temple, but the regional head of church would be upset if he randomly killed someone. So this priest acts through intermediaries, thugs, and so forth. [/QUOTE]
