[QUOTE="Gwaihir, post: 2981277, member: 14487"] I could use some plot help or pointers on running a political adventure. (Those I've tried in the past haven't gone so well) heres the situation, (My guys and K - Stay out!) [Sblock] The bad guys in the campaign are bent on world domination. As part of their plan, they are using a large army of undead in the north(They created, and are also the key figures opposing it) to increase thier political fortunes in the south. Recently, aided by the parties inactivity, they were able to assassinate the key religious figure, think pope, and replace him with one of thier own. The party is currently returning from a distant land, with a Holy tree that will banish, or deplete the undead armies. When this happens, My thought is that the bad guys will take credit for the victory in public, but attack the party as secretly as possible. How can I best let the party discover that the "pope" is not all that he seems, and may actually be manipulating the church he leads to nefarious ends? [/Sblock] [/QUOTE]
