[QUOTE="Noldor Elf, post: 1323892, member: 746"] I have planned to introduce (hopefully) a recuring villain to my AU campaing. The villain (or actually villains) is going to be a Mohj (a human turned more dragonlike) Magister and his kobold (Mohjborn) servant/assistant. I have thought about introducing them first separately, without players (and characters) being aware the connection between those two. Naturally, them being Mohj and Mohjborn characters should eventually find out that, bu hopefully not too soon (and not too late). The Mohj is going to be magister, mostly intrested on illusions, mind affecting spells and like, not very much flashy spells that say "Bang!". Characters will meet him in a abandoned mine where he is searching for some ruins. The Kobold is going to be Snake Totem Warrior/Assasin, essentially very agile fighter with some dirty and sneaky tricks. As he solely work for his master most likely situation where party could cross path with him would be in a race for some hidden/lost piece of information. My problem is: Should I introduce the Mohj first (especially as I have that encounter pretty much outlined already) or should I try to invent alternative scenario with the Kobold first and run that? I would like to use the kobold first, as it would give characters probably a small hint that there is a Mohj around. On the other hand, meeting the Mohj first reveals nothing about the fact that there is a Mohjborn somewhere. [/QUOTE]
