[QUOTE="Jeph, post: 1154909, member: 6738"] Hey BSF! Those are some pretty nifty ideas. :) I like the concept of doing a cut scene to Murdok At Home, it could really give them a good idea of who this guy is; and that without revealing too much. One to Dorus I'm not so sure about, as he's less important to the central themes of the story (at this point in time, anyway). I'll try to make him more 3D by good old PC-NPC interaction, I think. Same with the Duchess, but I'll probably have more opportunity to flesh her out--seeing as one of the PCs works for her. 109 days left. Hmm. I've spoken to the Peters Two, who have expressed interest in plane-hopping and dealing with the barbarians a bit more. Hmm. I don't think the barbarians really need to be snuck out of town, for two reasons: Primarily, they are not actually [i]in[/i] town, but a manor outside of the city. Secondly, the manor in which they take their stay is it's self owned by the Duchess, who knows of their motivations and has had audience with them to discuss the situation up North. I'm thinking the way I'll get them moving (while at the same time drawing Wade in a bit more) is to have Sebastion's (the barbarian prince's) consort come to Zhang He bearing a single, obscenely powerfully dwoemered arrow made to take out the Maralith that may be used neither by any true mortal or true Fey--thus, it is given to a convenient Half-Fey. It could also be an opportunity to work in the difference between humans and the Half-Fey. I've also thought a bit about Anderian's opener, involving the mage with whome he traded for a scroll of Teleport, the royal magical cataloguiere Angelo the Omnipotent. I'm thinking Angelo will loan some minor plane shifting item to Anderian (which he really shouldn't, as technicaly all of his magical possessions belong to the Empire) in exchange for the service of dealing with the prophetic aftermath in the northern provinces, as Angelo himself is required elsewhere. It'll give the party a nice way to get at that tiger, but seems a bit contrived to me. Again, hmm. Any more suggestions are greatly appreciated. :) --Jeff [/QUOTE]
