[QUOTE="Riley37, post: 6562817, member: 6786839"] Imagine, if you will: You are a member of the Cult of Tiamat. You live in Phlan, and you've been observing and scouting and building up connections there. So far as you know, you're the only member of the Cult left in Phlan. There's this gang of so-called heroes who have thwarted the Cult several times. They tracked down Spernik. They discouraged Jenny Greenteeth from alliance with Tiamat. They defeated Ixas. They intercepted the sale of a red dragon egg to a certain merchant. They wiped out a secret society of Bane-worshippers within the Black Fists, a society which you were JUST about to recruit to your cause. They attacked that gobin tribe who's searching an old black dragon lair on your behalf, and freed a spy that you had caught and imprisoned. And so on, and so forth. It's ridiculous. It's not even funny. It is not to be tolerated. You have three levels, in any class. (If you're a Warlock, then Tiamat is your patron; if you're a cleric, she's your deity; if you're a sorcereror, you're draconic bloodline; and so forth.) You can have a loyal zero-level minion of Tiamat, or two, if it helps to have Tiaminions; or any other plausible minor resource. What do you do? I posted a rather long list of ideas. No replies. So here's a more open-ended approach. EN Worlders, I am not sufficiently creative to think of everything Tiamat might inspire. Help me out! Failure is not an option! "[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Helvetica]Listen, and understand. Tiamat is out there. She can't be bargained with. She can't be reasoned with. She doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And she absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead."[/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
