[QUOTE="der_kluge, post: 8118119, member: 945"] In a campaign I'm working on, I've devised an island that requires a constant supply of slaves. These slaves are divided up into a variety of ways on the island, because there are several entities here which require them for experimentation, or other purposes. A small town exists to supply these entities with basic needs, and the "scientists" leave the local citizens alone, because they sort of rely on them in a perverted kind of way. The citizenry are sort of happy with this bizarre arrangement, since they know that they are at least safe from attack from... well, anything, really. The main experiment I'm including here is a wizard with the "Apparatus" - a giant artifact which can transfer the intellect from one creature into another creature. So, he has mostly perfected this device up to this point, but it still exists, and is being tended to by some acolytes (Still fleshing that out) Other ideas: A mind flayer lives here, and feeds on slaves, and studies... I don't know, whatever. He's a mind flayer. He could be a poet laureate for all I care. He just needs brains to survive. An alchemist is trying to perfect a potion to reverse stone to flesh. It works - some of the time. A medusa on the island helps create test subjects for him. A vampire lives on the island. He requires fresh food. A Talonite priest needs subjects to test vile poisons and diseases on. He tends to go through lots of subjects. Maybe another wizard is working on building flesh golems, and needs... body parts. I need some more ideas. Basically, the island should keep a party busy for quite some time, if they can manage to successfully deal with each horrible thing one at a time without arousing suspicion from the local populace.
