[QUOTE="Piratecat, post: 6406504, member: 2"] The way to do this, I suspect, is to make the good-aligned enemy acting for the good of his or her own people -- and that good is antithetical to the people/country/needs of the PCs. For instance, imagine a case where earthquakes and volcanoes are prophesized to destroy an area, and there is exactly one Scepter of Stability. The kingdom that has this in its throne room will have its borders untouched by the death, devastation and destruction to come. It gets stolen! But not by anyone who wishes the former owners harm, but instead of a ruler desperate to save her people... and while reluctant to let others die in her peoples' stead, she has all the lorekeepers and clerics to help rebuild afterwards. It's really best if she save her own kingdom, as it would be better for everyone in the long run. [/QUOTE]
