[QUOTE="RealMarkP, post: 6096548, member: 91296"] So the party is currently in the middle of a dungeon crawl. Illithids are using the dungeon of this ruined castle to conduct experiments on creatures, both local and extra planar. Their experiments have resulted in some peculiar aberrations being formed. The dungeon itself has many rooms that are devoted to experiments and the PCs thoroughly enjoyed mucking about in alchemy and steampunk-like technologies. The big reveal will be a dragon, who is kept captive in the dungeon for two purposes. The first being that the Dragon's blood is being harvested, the second is that the dragon's breath weapon is being used to forge a specific type of blade. The dragon is unhappy, obviously, and will be pleased to be set free. Anyway, the dungeon is very linear and has an end, as written. Ideally, I'd like to extrapolate a BBEG from this dungeon, but cannot (for the life of me) figure out how one would fit in. The BBEG should be able to get away with something that the party will remember and perhaps pursue. The BBEG doesn't have to be an Illithid and I'm using the Mind Flayers of Thoon (MM5) as the general enemies, not including the elder brain due to CR. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
