Message: <blockquote data-quote="Umbran" data-source="post: 6138369" data-attributes="member: 177">So, a little while ago in my Deadlands campaign, the party followed a clue from a dead priest that led them to a "new Elijah" - a prophet, in Denver.  They also found one of the BBEGs mining in the mountains, unearthing some large, round stones - reminiscent of eggs.The party gathered the "eggs", and solved some of the prophet's family problems (for some value of 'solved', anyway).  Having seen the party's interest in the guy, they tricket the as-yet-not-quite-believing prophet into their clutches, and set up a trade - the prophet for the eggs.  The party took the expected route - they made the trade, and then used their airship to waylay the eggs as they were shipped out of town, recovering them, and taking them back to Dodge.The prophet, they left in Denver.  On his own.Well, there was only one thing for the BBEG to do!  Kidnap that prophet, find out why he was valuable, and then nigh-exsanguinate him and use his holy blood in an unholy ritual to awaken some of the other eggs - and send the resulting giant, fossil-undead, fire-breathing utahraptor to rampage through Dodge, the party's home base, as a present for the wedding of two of the PCs.  Along with a note that described the whole thing to them, so they were completely aware of what their thoughtless mucking in other people's business had wrought.That good enough?</blockquote>
