Message: <blockquote data-quote="RangerWickett" data-source="post: 9395943" data-attributes="member: 63">Plot ideas by temple:Beshel, goddess of the seaI kinda wanna make this the Drake in a diss battle, and Chebas can be Kendrick. You've got sea versus river, distant water versus local, a bunch of lawmakers doing human sacrifices versus old school farmers tilling their own land, monster fishfolk versus not-monster-fishfolk. Oh also, there was a wedding at the temple of Beshel recently, and a few days later the groom got murdered.But how should the dissing play out? Do I need to establish some musicians? Venues for them to perform? City festivals where people would be gathered? What does the party do other than, like, feed dirt to the pro-Chebas bard?Abgal, god of the wastesMaybe the party wants Abgal on their side, so the goal could be to sow distrust with another god's temple. Rather than just trading diss tracks, maybe we get a full-on 90s-style "gangster rappers shooting each other" beef. The easiest badguy temple to target this way would be Allatu, as god of war, whose followers could raid some Abgalan caravans.How does the party get involved? False flag by doing the raiding themselves? Beating some Allatuite raider and taking over his gang? Feeding rumors of really tempting treasure being transported and then going with the caravan to protect it? Or maybe there's already some genuine predation, and the party just steps up as guardians . . . and maybe fights some lion-y monsters: manticores or something?Allatu, god of warYou could sap the power of this temple if you could liberate its slaves, maybe by leading a slave revolt, but how do you set that up? Who are all the VIPs in the power structure of Allatu, how are they protected? Maybe some of them are on a campaign right now against some other tribe, trying to get new prisoners? And yeah, the Allatuites could have scary warbeasts.I don't want them to be slouches, so I should also create some NPC friends of the party whom the Allatuites can target when they get suspicious.Ngasis, god/goddess of the sun/moonThe Logos has two kids, a son and a daughter. Maybe they each have a faction of Ngasians who think they should be in charge? What's the difference between them? What are their goals, and who are they struggling against?Regkel, god of the deadI'm not really sure what to do here? Maybe try to drive a wedge between some traditionalists in the temple and the Logos, because the traditionalists think she's harming the dead that should be revered? Would that entail some sort of adventure into the underworld? Maybe the traditionalist got sent away to the hinterlands to deal with some undead plague, and if the party can get him back, he'll be a useful ally?Chebas, goddess of the riverBeyond simply rescuing a hostage priestess, what else could the party do to help the Chebasans resist pressure from the ziggurat and Logos? Maybe farmers are in trouble because of 'dangerous thing here'? Maybe there's grievances with the Allatuites, whose slave labor undercuts the prices of other farmers . . . and some cruel greedy guy who has a lot of land wants to take over his neighbors farms and enslave them?Melendiel, god of fortune and hedonismI've got an idea that a Lucifer-esque disgruntled angel is allied with this temple, and he's starting to shift from "the other gods are hypocrites" to "maybe we should just be evil." What's that angel up to, and how do you stop him?</blockquote>
