100+ sessions into my Tyranny of Dragons/Scales of War mashup and the 5 player characters are 17th level. When the elf arcane trickster rogue was created, his player said the rogue had amnesia. He left it to me to conceive the rogue's true origin. So, I decided the rogue is actually the elven god of trickery in mortal form. This plot thread has been dangling for over 3 years. Only now, in this adventure, is it being resolved.
The session started with the PCs on the plane of Arvandor, outside the trickery god's sole temple, fighting an ancient green dragon with minions sent by Tiamat to stop them. The tiefling shadow sorcerer dropped a meteor swarm. For the first time. It did not disappoint. That was pretty much the end of the fight.
Inside the temple--the Temple of Mischief--the players found a nearly empty space with a single statue that resembled both the rogue and his twin sister. (She's his mortal enemy who he slew in a previous adventure, but whom he'll soon discover represents another aspect of himself.) Passing through a doorway they entered into what is basically a dream sequence that will reveal the origin and history of how the elven god became the arcane trickster rogue.
Next session: More dream sequences!
