[QUOTE="der_kluge, post: 8113587, member: 945"] I really like some of these ideas. I think what I'm going to do is carry out some of these ideas to their logical conclusions and see where they head up. So far, in my thinking, I've decided that the plague victims end up "dying" once their strength hits zero, but they're not actually dead (at least not yet), and are carted away on a ship to be "buried at sea", but are actually revived with an antidote, which gives them 1 point of strength, and then are promptly sold into slavery. The cult takes 10-20% of the good ones for themselves, since they need slaves for all the various construction projects, but otherwise it's an immensely profitable slave-trading venture they've created for themselves. Also trying to work in collaborations with Talos, Talona and Malar, who will each play a small role, but who also might have somewhat competing objectives. So, plenty of bad guys to deal with here. Also have some really crazy ideas about running two separate PbP groups in parallel - one for this, and one that I'm already running. But I'm thinking it would be immensely cool if I could time it such that group A ends up purchasing all of group B as slaves, and then also getting involved in their quest (since it will be more important, and timely than theirs). The timing of that could be really hard to gauge, but if I could pull that off, it would be epic! [/QUOTE]
