Dayum, you have inspired me with several ideas with your post! Hmmm...layers and layers...the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing...some betrayals, some motives at cross-purposes, oh yeah!A middle-aged cleric in the town has become enchanted with the attentions provided by a snake-woman priestess, and her lizard-men retainers...she has provided him with some items of interest, as well as strange intoxicants and drugs that provide him with energy, strength, and renewed vigor, making him feel like he did when he was much younger..*howling in glee*!!He in turn, has lobbied for tolerance, negotiation, and understanding within the local Lord's Court. Meanwhile, in secret, he is serving as a supplier for such powerful stimulants to the likewise aging Captain of the Guard, who seeks to satisfy his much younger wife.Meanwhile, a lesser nobleman is plotting a dramatic change in his fortunes, as he lobbies the local Baron for more funds and troops to finance military operations protecting local caravan routes--some of which are under increasing attack by lizard-men, which he has provided intelligence on caravans so that they can succeed even more so--while providing him with handsome, rich payments...Hmmm...he uses several servants as go-betweens with the Lizard-men...one of which, is a young female mage. While she has been enthralled at the new knowledge, increasing power, some items, and new feelings of importance--she also deals with growing feelings of guilt and betrayal, and yearns to confess to someone she can trust...oh, damn yes!Oh, and yes...a different nobleman, a lord that serves the Baron...has growing suspicions and concerns about the lizard-men threat, and is fanatically determined to crush them. Joining with him, are a local paladin of Ullaric, and a hardened cleric, who believes they should be cleansed from the land, and is ever suspicious. This lord, the paladin, the cleric, and a few devout merchant lords who also agree with them, are vigilant and increasingly watchful.Great stuff Herremann!Semper Fidelis,SHARK</blockquote>
