They come back to town triumphant... just to learn the King has a new advisor that stepped in while they were out.  Later they get his good name destroyed and he has to flee the castle, in the aftermath they find that there was a hidden chamber where he did 7 rituals of dragonfire... they sent him packing but he already had part of what he wanted. Now he has had set backs... he no longer has his place at court, his 3 demon knights and he still doesn't have the book of secret arts... but with the rituals channeling dragon fire into his magic he goes and burns a hole through the planes to alternate realities... and binds himself and 4 other world versions of himself (the way great wyrm dragons are made) and now has even more power... he then binds 3 corrupted angels to his service, and grants each a small dragon boon... he sends them after 3 artifacts of power (the orb of enlightenment, the Rod of the Dragon King, and the Cosmic Cube) the PCs can for 100% beat them to 1... and might be able to get to intercept a second before it gets back to him but no way without spliting up could they stop all 3, and they can't beat them if they split too much... so what do they do.but the truth is it doesn't matter what one they stop or even if they stop all 3 because he and his new apprentice have chosen 7 named NPCs that the players like and put Geas on them... they show up crying to the PCs... he told me to tell you "XXXXX" and then to take the book... if I don't I die. bonus pts if by this point the players are descent level and none of those NPCs are a threat to them... but make them fight them anyway. but all of this (the geas the 3 artifacts) was just to get thm pissed because he has laid a  trap.  He has laid hard to find but not impossible trail to his secret base... but when they get there he isn't there just a death knight</blockquote>
