[QUOTE="RealMarkP, post: 5216388, member: 91296"] The PC that's captured is a level 10 ranger/rogue. The two trying to find him are a level 10 cleric of chauntea and a level 9 half-orc barbarian (wh was reincarnated as a gnome). His back story deals with the Riders of Mistledale. His father is a figurehead in the Riders but has long cut off relations with his son. He comes from a generally Neutral Good family. I have a story arc that deals specifically with this PC. He is on a quest to weaken Cyric by helping Bane take back his portfolio (by WEakening Iyachtu Xvim so Bane can take over) and freeing Kelemvor from Cyric's own sword (Kelemvor's soul was trapped in Cyric's sentient sword, Godsbane, in the moment he was killed in the Blackstaff Tower. The sword was actually Mask, the God of Thieves in guise - wikipedia). This will remove some of the godly profiles from Cyric and make him more manageable by the gods. I was thinking of using this as an escuse of why he was taken to Baator. Asmodeus has some vested interest in reducing Cyric's power because the Grey Wastes, Cyric's realm, is one of the battle grounds of the Blood War. Asmodeus has to tip toe around Cyric because he is much too powerful. Another part of the story is that since Kelemvor is missing and Cyric has the portfolio of Death, Cyric controls the judgement of faithless souls. From what I read, this was Kelemvor's job in the Crystal Spire. Ever since Kelemvor's perceived death, Cyric has been hoarding the faithless souls for himself and turning them into his own petitioners. I'm wondering if this is a bit much. Other than this, the PC does not have any magical items that are particularly useful to the Baatorians. EDIT: I know that the story of Kelemvor's return/Cyrics undoing/return of Bane are no really intertwined or related, but this story arc seems to captivate my players. From what I read, you have to go through Tiamat to get into Dis. What wasn't clear is her role. Does she actively guard it or is it more of a passive role (just look out over the peaks of Azharul and see that there are no armies rushing into Dis). [/QUOTE]
