Message: <blockquote data-quote="markero" data-source="post: 1198176" data-attributes="member: 15018">The Linnorm has three litches that follow him as their sire – leader.  He made a pact with them that if they gave themselves to him until his empire was complete that he would aid in their becoming a litch.  The are the surviving three members of an adventuring party and are equipped as a normal adventuring party 20th level.  They have taken a blood oath to the Linnorm on the foot of (insert evil god here) himself. So that (insert evil god here) holds them to their oath and not the Linnorm.  The Linnorm can link senses with these litches at any time, holding links with all of them at once if he desires.  His blood was an integral part of the ceremony to create them ,, that is one way that they are bound to him.  He controls them completely until his task is finished…  The Linnorm prefers to use undead for his purposes due to their total and complete allegiance. He trusts undead more than any other creature and thus uses them to guard his sacred areas. He has created new spells to make them stronger,, and also to create new forms of undead unheard of in the world as far as now.  Some of these spells have fallen into the hands of other evil beings who also would like to seem themselves as leader of an enslaved world.  They use these creatures they have discovered also trying to conquer their own spot in the world.Possible Quests for the party members to do for the Linnorm;Find dragon orbs.Find a certain object that allows the Linnorm to age himself making him more powerful.Take over various underground fortresses (dwarven, elven, goblin, vampire,,,, etc.etc..)Seach for ruins of ancient cities, cathedrals, temples, in order to expand the Linnorms hord or obtain other magical items…Search for un-blessed bodies to supplement the army with new soldiers.Instigate battles between villages – cities – lands in order to create more bodies for the Linnorms army,, and possibly lessen resistence to his power.Collect the components needed to create a dracolitch (each creation should be specific)Kidnap:Elven, human, dwarven weapon and armor smiths,Elven mages who can cast wish spells,Assasinate High Priests or leaders of threats to his power or secrecyAttack an area and form a “beach head” for reinforcements ,, or create a safe area from with to stage an assaultSpy on person or place and gather intelligenceSet up a thieves guild or other nefarious organization to poison an otherwise good place or organizationGo into a fortress that is already controlled by the Linnorm , take control and organize so that it is more efficient in it’s taskBe a spokesperson for the Linnorm to various possible allies or enemies.Collect slaves for suitable work, or making into skeletal warriors.Collect vampire slaves for material components.Collect creatures that can be enslaved for their tunneling ability.Collect components for use in creation of stronger undead,, or specific undead (undead giants, undead rocks,, undead giant eagles etc etc…. any living creature can be formulated into some sort of undead. Collect components for creating various undead constructs (golem, giant, dinosaur, dragon(never a linnorm)).Find Dragon young or eggs.Hunt down escaped slaves.Knowledge the world has at the time of the players creation..No one knows of the existence of the Linnorm as the lord of the underworld at the time of the characters creation.  Goblins and other lesser beings who worship him have a name for him, but believe him to be a god and don’t know his true form, or name.  His fake name has leaked out of the depths of the earth into some villages and places that have ties with the tunnels under the ground.  The dwarves certainly know the name, but believe it to be some false god that goblins worship.. they believe it to be some useless battlecry or powerless threat and curse.  The Linnorm is carefull not to use undead in attacks against organized races unless he is sure that he will defeat them easily.  He protects all knowledge of his existence.  The Linnorm takes great pleasure in lying under the very thrones of his enemies.. listening to them debate what is happening in the world and how to fight it.  He has dreams of being able to suck an entire city into the ground, making its defences useless. Undead purple worms are his pets and he uses them to weaken the structures underneath fortifications before his troops attack.  The Linnorm doesn’t like any race that does not desire to live completely underground (above ground races are lesser races).  He likes goblins and undead most.  He also prefers to deal with shadows and things of darkness when seeking otherworld allies.  He despises good creatures that live in the earth. He considers any cave in the world to belong to him,, be it his own cavern or a hobbits hole.</blockquote>
