[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 1927948, member: 2012"] Jester, you should consider adding something similar to Forgotten Realms Cult of the Dragon to your campaign. Except these cultists, as of yet, aren't very well known and have always worked in total secrecy. I seem to remember that dragons are very rare in your world. A black cult dedicated to keeping dragons in the world, by any means possible, might be a good group of new foes for the PCs. They hear of the PCs' deed in killing Lithos and immediately set out to destroy them while they work secrectly to have Lithos returned to life (or unlife). The PCs might not even realize why the the evil dragon cult is hunting them. Although Orbius' divining powers could solve that in no time. I suggest that Lithos was the "sleeping" servant of a much more powerful dragon, perhaps an ancient dragon demigod. This bein wants his/her favored servant back and the draconic cult is the dragon's most loyal "humanoid" servants. (I recommend making this dragon an"epic" great wyrm, as per the rules in the ELH.) Perhaps the draconic cult makes a deal with the wizard merchants like the PCs did. Or send a few clandestine, half-dragon assassins against PCs one at a time, when they are seperated. Or the cult could make an alliance with one of the "Marii" to go back in time, wake Lithos up before the PCs arrive, and warn the dragon that their coming. (Or perhaps just gather enough of the creatures "essence" to clone the dragon in the future or create a "empowered" improved simulacrum.) Heh. Heh. KF72 [/QUOTE]
