Anyway, though, another important consideration when trying to built a plot is what you want the PCs to eventually achieve. They may not actually decide to do it, but if you're going to build a storyline you may as well have a goal. Do you want them to try to save the girl? Redeem Abysthor? Destroy the Cult of Xvim and cut of its heads (leaders)? Another detail I didn't see there that could be important to how you build your story is the current situation of the abducted fey. Are they already dead? Being held somewhere that the PCs could rescue them? Why did the bard leave Marleel after she became pregnant? Did he know she was pregnant? Is he the same half-elf bard who is the 'defacto ruler' of Cyrylia? How would he feel about the potential fate of his child? If you want to get Bard's Gate involved, introducing the father is an easy way to go.Also, what is going to happen when the cultists open the gate and encounter the foulspawn? Is this going to happen off-screen, or should the PCs be aware of what's happening by the time this occurs (and perhaps even have the chance to stop it)?~</blockquote>
