Message: <blockquote data-quote="theskyfullofdust" data-source="post: 5063949" data-attributes="member: 60048">Thanks for the replies & comments so far. A bit more info then, as requested:The idea is that the hobgoblins have already taken over the town, but have only held it for a few days. There have been rumblings that something was going to happen in the earlier adventurers.They have disposed of the leaders (an alliance of merchants), bribed and compelled by force of arms the local militia to join with them, killed every adventuring-type they could find (there weren't many), and have laid siege to the local wizard's guild.There are a few rebels that the PCs met before they reach the town; some of them will be the PCs contacts.The hobgoblin's goal: take control of the town, make it there own, use it as a base to explore the wilderness beyond, looking for artefacts they believe lies in various ruins.I want to leave it open for the PCs to do as they wish, sort of like a mini-sandbox, and if I know my players they might do anything, even so far as try and make a bid to take control themselves.They are all Level 6, spell-casters are a kobold wu jen and a cleric; utility spells are not many, mostly attack-based. One of them is also a harpy, with her song ability getting better all the time and can completely change an encounter if she sings and all the big bads fail their saves.The town is a frontier town, founded by merchants, and the Empire does only have a passing interest in it. So, maybe they Empire won't get involved at all, leaving it up to the PCs to change things, if they want to.I plan on going through my notes, noting who has allied themselves with the invaders, who rebels, who is just hiding, and need to come up with a few planned/location encounters that the PCs come across as they do whatever it is they plan on doing...</blockquote>
