[QUOTE="Logos7, post: 4123239, member: 62880"] I was always rather fond of the bbeg, who being smart and forward looking, has identified the Pc's as potential trouble, and being forward looking and smart, starts actively patronizing them, sending them on missions, and such. These missions are dangerous , and generally far away. if the pc's win, well at least threw careful selection of missions the patron has got some gain if the pc's loose, well thats one less group of PC's to worry about. when your ready to start your reveal, start having bits of the story fall out, their patron's acting agitated sending them into increasingly dangerous and or contridicotry missions for little or no reason, Patron is not sending backup when needed, Patron occassionaly has a G-Man moment appears, watches the pc's struggling , disappears with the thing they need to escape. by the time the pc's come knocking, he's run away... they track him down, to face a group of up and coming adventuers who are not so different than they are.... I enjoy it,. [/QUOTE]
