[QUOTE="Tizbiz, post: 7419812, member: 6874057"] Hello my fellow storytellers, i am about to start the sixt adventure and i have some issues that i like to hear your opinion about. My group has only two players who play a male deva and an female eladrin. The eladrin has been sold in to slavery to a NPC as part of her history. This NPC is a danorian industrialist named Fordren and i changed the name of Pemberton into Fordren. Now i have the situation that: a) my players went to the bleak gate without disturbing the peace conference b) Han Jierre was not found out to be part of the conspiracy and only left the peace talks because of the giant golem threatening Flint c) my player has already an uneasy peace with Fordren aka Pemberton and Pemberton has secretly agreed to not harm Risur (the female player does not know of that). He has told her that he thinks her metamorphosis from his toy into a selfconcious free being is fascinating (he wont tell her that he has plenty of time to regain and break her in the future and though she thinks that she was important to him, for the dragon she is more like a interesting pebble missing from his hoard) She does not know that he has other plans that are more important. d) there are future peace talks planed and even Lya Jierre is kind of shady nice because she did not know of what the other cell was doing and my players even hope to talk some sense into her about her higher-ups actually decieving her e) my players believe right now that nicodemus wants to use the planar lantern of Luke Jierre as a mindcontrol device and that the giant golem is a weapon to be used somewhere out of risur. As they start into relevations from the mouth of a madman i am concerned about the following and would like to know how you would avoid these pitfalls. I dont want Fordren/Pemberton to be revealed. During a visit to Elfaivar in between adventure 5 and six i placed an shadow industialist named Pemberton in Macdam who will take the blame of being involved in the South Ber Revolt. I plan to send Fordren to the court of Bruse Shantus and try to tell the players that Pemberton Industries is already established in Ber and that Fordren is actually trying to outbid Pemberton. Now my first question: The replicants seem to need a small piece of soul and then will be realistic substitutes to the actuall guy. [B]Who will control the replaced people? Could Fordren have used a replicant to make the people in Macdam believe that Pemberton is a different person and even have established him in Macdam and Ber years before? Does he need a „actual Pemberton guy“ to replace?[/B] Fordren has of course planed to rule Ber himself and has eaten the gnoll chieftain in his dragon shape. But if things go south, „Pemberton“ will take the fall but [B]i am very uneasy about Fordren forgiving the players about the certain future capture of his child Terakalir[/B]. At the same time i would like Brakken Heffanita have a chance to not loose all prestige he has and even consider him to follow as the next Bruse if Shantus dies during the adventure. Would his reputation survive if he is revealed in the starter plot of the adventure or shall i introduce the RHC agents in some other way to the court? Maybe Fordren could introduce them to the court? [B]How do i play Lya Jierre during the trials?[/B] She needs to get Tinker Oddcog but i want her to still be a nice honorable character. She is still officially the kings bride to be. Does she now know of the conspiracys final goal? [B]Is she protected by the geas now?[/B] My characters tend to capture all important enemies. I wonder, if any of you had similar problems? [/QUOTE]
