I had already done something like this for mine and I thought I would share - see what people thought - maybe you have some cool ideas? maybe you want to share yours?Players Current Level(s): All level 7 (Heroic Tier)The PlotHeroic TierThis Tier basically revolves around the discover of a box by the PC's and the mystery of its powers. It appears to have keyholes covering it, but no key fits and there are no seems that it would open from. The box from time to time hums and emits images (3d "movies" of things that have happened in the past the players think). It also attracts the attention of nearby ghosts sometimes, though they are intrigued by it for me most part, no violent.During their search for answers as to the box's importance, they have come across a fortress in the swamps (Malpheggi Swamps on the Known World - Mystara). The fort appeared randomly one day atop the ruins of a temple (which is what they expected to find instead of a fort). Searching the fortress, they have discovered that this fort has moved around a bit residing in various locations (including some time at the bottom of an ocean based on discoveries within).That's where we are as of now.The box is simply a portal key allowing the owner to see the/a entrance to the Valley of the Hutaaka when in proximity to it.Later in this Tier they will discover that a race of snake-like humanoids are looking to take control of the fort. Instead, with the help of a goat-like race from the Feywild, they will re-activate the fortress and move it to the Valley of the Hutaaka where they will inadvertently bring a large number of said snake people.The end of this Tier and beginning of the next they will spend in the Valley getting to know the Hutaakan people and doing some light planar traveling and exploration helping these people with (I'm not sure yet).Paragon TierDuring their time in the valley, the fort will disappear - odd, but no big deal to them. However, what will have happened was the snake people were able to activate and move the fort back to the feywild where they will clean it up and prepare it to go back and conquer the Valley.The middle to last half of this tier or so will involve the re-appearance of the fort in the valley (under the control of the snake people) and the taking of the valley by the snake people. The players, with the Hutaakan, will fight a losing battle and will be forced to flee the valley (heading to the feywild probably).Epic TierThis tier I am imagining more planar travel (revisiting places and people they met during earlier travels) rallying support for a counter attack to take back the valley.They will, some time during this period, come across the fortress (maybe) as it (on top of being able to be controlled) still has a strong connection to the feywild and has a tendency to randomly blink around. They may have to fight to clear out those snake people remaining within. Then, they will gather their allies, reactivate the fort and use it to get back to the valley which they will find has been completely overrun by the snake people and Yuan Ti - this is where the big epic final battle will take place====Disclaimer to Mystara fans: I used to run Mystara as per all published material etc - this campaign however uses the map and I take liberty with everything else using things as I see fit at the timeThat's about as simply as I can put it. Things can and will change of course - My games are pretty open and I try not to railroad, but at the same time my players are pretty predictable and I like to be prepared.So, with that said...1. What do you think? Do you have any ideas for something cool that could be added?2. Feel like sharing yours by chance?</blockquote>
