[QUOTE="seregil, post: 6467874, member: 38425"] Thanks for the ideas guys. A little more background: [LIST] [*]Green Dragon eggs get stolen first. Green dragon goes on rampage and is slain by adventurers. This is 6 months before beginning of campaign. [*]Gold Dragons get stolen next. Gold Dragons mated pair begin frantic search and eventually trace a lead to the village of Amphail. The theft occurs 3 months before beginning of campaign. [*]Black dragon eggs get stolen next. Female dragon is slain and mate comes back a month later to find the corpse. Black dragon suspect local Cult of the Dragon who have been annoying him with tales of undeath. He goes to Amphail and interrogates contact then drops him from 1000'. Gold dragons, hidden nearby, see it. He learns that his man was tld to escort BBG to hislair. BBG is enchanter and charmed/Dominated his way into COD. He also learns the name of the COD contact in Waterdeep. [*]Black dragon is stuck. He can'T go rampaging in Waterdeep but he must somehow get there. [*]Gold Dragons are in better position but their lead is dead and the Black may or may not have useful information. [*]Meanwhile, BBG is collecting information on Blue, White and Red Dragon lairs. [/LIST] I think you guys are right and there will be no 'common front' on the part of the chromatic dragons. 3-5 pissed off dragons is still enough to cause havock. The problem is that no one has seen the pattern yet. The Golds are in contact with the Lords of Waterdeep but no one knows why the Green went berzerk and the Golds are only now suspecting that maybe the Black's sudden appearance is somehow related to their plight. They have already faced off against him over Waterdeep, so they find it difficult to approach him and parley. We're still in the beginning of the storyline, the group is level 9 (Pathfinder) and the stated aim of the campaign is to get to level 20. So, over the next 10 levels or so, more eggs need to go missing, some information must come back about the BBG and the pattern must emerge. The Black is skulking around Waterdeep and the group has found the corpse of his mate. I'm thinking of using that as a thread to sow it together somehow. The Black is pissed about the lost of the eggs, the death of its mate and the insult of having his lair invaded by such....insignificant.... creatures. When the time comes, the punishment will be great indeed, but first, he must find the guilty party. [/QUOTE]
