[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 4598173, member: 386"] We have a month or so of downtime between the next game and I've rediscovered the fun of creating dungeons. I've decided that I'm going to do a write-up for the Mages of Saruun. I have to figure out: [list] [*]What kind of resources they have [*]Who's working for them [*]How many Ordinators they have (and their stats) [*]What level Orontar is [*]How the NPCs in town feel about their rule [*]How other creatures in the Labyrinth might respond to an attack on the Mages [*]How Paldemar (Malchior the Warlord's uncle) will respond [*]and finally, what their tower dungeon looks like.[/list] I have a vague idea of how all this will play out. I'll give them a Level 8 or so Major Quest. I figure 4 Ordinators - each with different abilities - will be cool. Orontar should be about level 8, probably an elite. They will have a bunch of soldiers of different races - mainly human, but some dwarves, elves, gnomes, halflings, and some more interesting creatures. The people in town don't like the Mages but they have proven their ability to keep them safe so they don't want to rock the boat. Some will actively support the Mages and others will (Rendil, the freed slaves) will support the PCs. Paldemar is going to actively support the overthrow of the Mages. The PCs heard from a slave that saw him give a ritual to the Troglodytes. He'll explain that he gave them the ritual to bring down the Seven-Pillared Hall because the Mages had a mad plan to do something evil - which will be whatever he's actually trying to do - and he was trying to stop them. He will figure out that it'll be easier to take over Thunderspire if the PCs upset the status quo. He'll probably help them by giving them something that will let them into the Mages' Tower. I'll keep updating with whatever I come up with. [/QUOTE]
