Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 4502903" data-attributes="member: 114">Perhaps he wants to get the same power that asmodeus has - and he figures that the best way of doing that isn't by killing asmodeus, but rather by using the same route and killing a god.So how does grazzt want to do this? Perhaps he can do it by weakening an existing god first - by reducing their number of worshippers. Get the existing church of erathis (or whatever) on the ropes, then arrange (or appear as) a new messiah/prophet, direct worship towards himself (or better yet, discredit the target god, so that not only the existing worshippers but also the other gods will shun them). This then sets him up for his epic coup.To make it really interesting, perhaps the god he wants to murder is one of the existing evil gods... making it easier to get PCs unknowingly on-side...During Heroic level adventures, there shouldn't be anything obvious connecting it to grazzt (although some clues which in retrospect will point to him). If you go for undermining an existing god, there could be a linked series of adventures with "trouble at t'mill" in that particular church, with a secret movement in the church undermining and turning worshippers. Succubi are good at this kind of level.Paragon adventures could be about getting to the root of demonic activity behind the problems in the material plane, fighting demons and their emissaries. Glabrezu were typically great tempters, I can't remember whether that is the same in 4e though. Perhaps the PCs have to fight off attempted demonic invasions to keep eyes averted from grazzts real plans.Epic tier is the point where grazzt's plans are actually unveiled, and the party have to find the weak spot in the plans and foil them, before finally challenging grazzt and bringing him to justice to cement their ascension to demi-god-hood.Hows that for an idea?</blockquote>
