My plan is to have confrontations with the other adventurers occur in place of or possibly in addition to random encounters, and if my players decide to attack them, that’s their prerogative. I don’t anticipate that happening, as my players tend to attempt to negotiate peacefully first with anything that wears pants. One of the rival groups will also be comprised of dwarves from the clan that hired them back in Forge of Fury, so unless my players really want Whelm for themselves, they’re likely to end up cooperating with that group. I haven’t made any final decisions about the other two groups, other than the fact that I want one to be primarily interested in Wave and one in Blackrazor. I also want one of them (probably the ones after Blackrazor) to be more confrontational than the others.If it does come down to combat, I will be playing all of these NPCs with the primary goal of securing the relic they are there for and getting out of the dungeon with it and as many of their party members alive as possible. Securing the other two relics will be secondary to each group, and they will be willing to compromise on it if doing so will help them achieve their primary goal. And with the possible exception of the group going for Blackrazor, they will aim to incapacitate their competition rather than killing them if possible.</blockquote>
