[QUOTE="wwanno, post: 7087646, member: 6775160"] If you run the temple like a simple dungeon where players enter, kill everything, and run away with the treasures, it will become boring soon. Play the videogame (I know it may sound strange), it has many quests and ideas in it, that will let your players infiltrate the temple ranks and put the factions at each other's throat. This will make the game more remarkable. - My players entered the temple from the tower secret passage. - They met and fought the wizard of the third level (an agent of Lolth who tries to slow down Hedrak, hiding the skull in hope to size enough power in the temple to control it and reconsacrate it to Lolth), and he introduced them to Kelno (the air priest). - They obeyed the orders of Kelno (the air priest), and desacrated the earth temple with some unholy water while they were wearing the water temple tunics. - This led to a retorsion, and while the earth temple was moving against the water one, the PCs ransacked the earth temple. - One of the PCs took the tunic of the earth temple and, after another PCs was nominated Kelno's second in command, used it to command the earth elementals to kill Kelno who was lired to the earth temple. - So two PCs were now wearing the high priests tunic, and they were summoned by Hendrak to swear him loyalty. All these things would not happen if the PCs think they can storm the temple entering from the front door. Just portray it as an impossible task due to the forces inside the temple itself. This can be far more than hack and slash. Inviato dal mio ASUS_Z00AD utilizzando Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
