[QUOTE="Aholibamah, post: 4139304, member: 53031"] I'd appreciate the critique of this adventure I'm setting up. The basics are these: - the pcs have been granted lands and titles and along with this are required to defend and hold a border between their country (which we'll call the Republic) and one that they've recently made peace with. (we'll call this the Theocracy.) - Not far off is an ancient forest. Before the war between the Republic and the Theocracy came to a head this forest was a battleground; the elves that lived there were vanquished and fled. Some of them ended up fleeing into an underground region and made bitter alliances. (including with a tribe of Grimlocks) - Now the elves have sought their revenge. Their plan is to undermine the Theocracy's settlements and reclaim the area for their own. However this is mostly through guerilla style hit and run tactics. They fully intend to relish the Grimlocks' savagery in all this as well. What I really want critiqued is this: Hook: Theocracy deputation demands recompense/apology/both for lost livestock and people from the pcs. Synopsis: The pcs sneak or get invited into Theocracy territory to investigate and find out about Grimlocks raiding the area. Tracking them to their lair they discover the elves behind it all. In a sense this is a sort of Drow story--my take on the Drow being that they are actually pale elves but otherwise the pcs will discover a place of worship of evil and destruction in the form of a demon incarnated as a gigantic spider.
