The question becomes what are his motives? What is the vengeance he seeks? Is he appeasing some planar entity with promises that the PCs will eventually smash? Can the PCs see through the confusion or will they repeatedly become the anvil against which the puppetmaster can use his tools? Is an ally or friend of the PCs perhaps involved in all of this with a confession to make? Perhaps the head priestess understands more than the puppetmaster expects? What game is she playing in all of this? Has she betrayed the leader of her tribe? Can the PCs save the Lizardman leader or is he just another patsy meeting his doom? Perhaps the enemies of the PCs in town have also decided to play their hand while the PCs are under pressure? Perhaps a particular PC presents too juicier a target - some long-planned revenge to be accomplished? And what other resources can the puppetmaster bring to bear? These resources are again borrowed with a horrible currency he has almost fully spent - and is almost time to pay it back with such horrible consequences for the town at large? Sorry for the wall of text, but I find a stream of questions can sometimes help in these situations. Apologies if they fail to answer your original queries.Best RegardsHerremann the Wise</blockquote>
