[QUOTE="System Ufera, post: 6389207, member: 6671268"] The first idea seems like it could become a session or two to help buy me time. The second idea is out, since the authorities were alerted to the rogue doctor's involvement with the disease before he was killed, and even if that wasn't the case, any time the PC's get in trouble in my games, it never ends well. The third one, however, reminds me of an NPC villain I've used in other campaigns with this setting: Vonmack es'Voraine, a wealthy entrepreneur and secret sociopath who is prone to backstabbing and will do anything to sate his greed. In other campaigns I've run, Vonmack had been doing deals with agents of the devils, using fake quests to lure would-be heroes to their deaths in exchange for gifts and a guaranteed position of power among the devils. When the first heroes to survive (the player characters) actually succeeded in the quest he gave them, he would try to discredit them; this would usually end in Vonmack's death, setting in motion a chain of events that would eventually lead to an invasion of Milandria by the devils. Perhaps I could have Vonmack be that NPC... Anyway, thanks for your help. [/QUOTE]
