[QUOTE="Emperor Valerian, post: 1866809, member: 15043"] Another warning: Those of you reading the Celestial Kingdom SH... there are spoilers below. My campaign is based in a Chinese homebrew, and one of the PCs has just discovered his family held in its possession an Imperial seal, and one of his ancestors was the son of an Emperor. The Empire at present is in unrest, as various families are trying to either control the 10 year old emperor or unseat him (Imagine the start of Romance of the Three Kingdoms). On the bottom of this seal, I said there was writing he couldn't understand, and I'm thinking of having him go to a remote temple to discover the meaning of the writing... and therein lies the problem. I have no idea what the writing on the seal will say. I'm hoping for something profound, but my brain is disengaged today for some reason. Also, I'd like the temple session to be rather climatic (it won't be the end of the campaign, but it will likely be a high point), but at present I'm having a brain dead day as to trying to figure out what will happen in this temple. The journey to the temple should be easy to find some stuff (another PC has in her possession an extremely rare dagger that can kill Emperors, and she is busily trying to figure out how to get rid of it in a "responsible manner," and she's also being chased by assassins that could make an appearance.), but once they arrive there, I don't know... any ideas... or any ideas on places where I could get cinematic ideas for the temple climax?
