Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dr. Strangemonkey" data-source="post: 614001" data-attributes="member: 6533">I remember reading a snippet of an article dealing with the development of d20 Cthulu.Apparently they playtested him by sending waves of 20th level iconics after him.  The old one toasted a huge number of them, but was eventually put down by an imprison spell.Boy I would have loved to have been on the war council for something like that.  Elminster has got to be downable.The flight of dragons being a challenge for PCs makes sense as one would imagine the numbers are at least there for some sort of distraction value so that El has to take time to shift the plane away and use the most almighty destruction spells.The real fun comes when the smack comes for the conspiracy that actually put down the mighty El.  Anyone who has the moxie to motivate a flight of dragons in a suicidal action like this is going to attract a lot of attention.  The good are scared and angry, naturally, and if I were evil and not in on the conspiracy I would so be pissed.  All the guns in the mexican standoff are going to be searching for the new threat and all hell is going to be let lose when they eitherA.) find the new target to point atB.) realize that they can't cover both all the old threats and the new threats.If I were in on the conspiracy, on the other hand, I would foster chaos by coming forward immediately afterwards, admitting everything I did, imply I'm not admitting everything, play people against each other, and then immediately imply that I am not a threat."All we wanted was the death of Elminster, and we are now distributing the loot to anyone who promises to foster random anarchy and chaos.  Mwuhahahahahah, our conspiracy, by the way, has been dissolved and I'm going to reincarnate myself as a badger after leaving various clues about where our hoard is.  Ta!"</blockquote>
