[QUOTE="Emirikol, post: 2184203, member: 10638"] [b]The neutral agenda and Clear-Healing Potions[/b] I want to see more 'good' and neutral villains. Why can't the pope have a nasty plot and have offed the previous pope just because the old pope was actually evil or had made a major slight against his country, for which he was bound to seek vengeance or be banished? Those druid's always have some kind of 'liberal agenda' too to corrupt the gnome youth, make everyone hate their own country, burn their standards, smoke halfling pipeweed, dominate the whispering wind media, legalize stump-cell-research, puff some low-level apprentice's banana, and legalize love with trees; and they're willing to paint nasty words using goodberries on your castle wall to get you to sway their way..thankfully, you've got your fascist knight force to go beat them into submission with jo-sticks. Eventually they're going to crack and let in a bunch of demons to distract the fascist knights from their deeds. The priestess of love may also have plans to kill all the warlike folks by blowing them up with fire. Wizards, who are members of the AWA (Am. Wizard's Association) may wish to 'contain and eliminate' monks who practice clerical magic (ACA) by using an illegal boycott, calling them nasty names that begin with "q", and by spreading false rumors that clerical magic may shorten your life or even give you a stroke..all the while killing their own members by using non-magical-anti-inflammatories such as Wizardex and Thalidomide. A battle between two bardic groups may be brewing. One is an established group that sells it's services to whomever comes by. The other may wish to send songs by mail so that people can hear them at their leisure. In the exchange, all late-comer fees from the first group (Block-bardster) will be waived in an attempt to kill off the songs by mail company (Bard-Flix). In their failure, the Block-bardsters will try the 'bard-by-mail' trick, but the Bard-flix company will already have established itself. At this point, Block-bardster will become hostile and attempt slanderous slurs and sabotage against Bard-Flix using thier ninja-wizards. A potion-brewing group may feel somewhat uncomfortable after a renegade-brewer indicates that their rival Poopsie-Brewers healing potions may taste better in taste tests.
