[QUOTE="ComradeGnull, post: 5963997, member: 6685694"] * No one knows for sure where the dragon's lair is- the critter just appears in the sky, burninates whatever it wants, and then flies off 'to the east' or whatever. It might be in the mountains to the east, but there is nothing to say that it couldn't be quite a ways beyond it. Finding the lair and securing the path so that the heroes can get there, kill the thing, and get back could form the basis for a number of adventures. * The dragon is attacking City A because City B hired a bunch of adventurers to drive it off from attacking them. They now have a vested interest in preventing the dragon from giving up on attacking City A- if agents of City B hear about a new expedition to fight/otherwise annoy the dragon, they will sabotage it rather than have the dragon go back to attacking their city. * The dragon's horde contains something that would be disastrous to someone powerful- maybe a lich hid his phylactery among the horde, trusting the dragon to guard it, or maybe the dragon is occupying an ancient castle whose records prove that the current ruler of the local city is a usurper. Whoever is concerned will first appear to assist the PC's in tracking or killing the dragon, but will betray or capture them at a critical moment. * The dragon has destroyed the food supply of another region in the area- burned crops and forests, destroyed granaries, diverted or dammed rivers in order to make itself a bath tub, etc. This was done not with the intent of annoying anyone, but just because the dragon was making itself more comfortable and at-home in its lair. The result is that ravening, half-starved orcs/hobgoblins/refugees are now desperately raiding the PC's home region. Fixing some of the damage that the dragon has wrought (undamming a river, finding a magical artifact that can restore the forest) would put an end to the raids and give the PC's a valuable ally, but would annoy the dragon to no end.
