[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 6764893, member: 6803337"] Any of the great Archdevils would make a suitable patron. Tiamat leaving Avernus will rock the boat, big-time (as in The Posideon Adventure) and they all want information about how the mortals are reacting. A Warlock - especially one who is a part of a leading band of mortals - would be best-placed to gain that information and transmit it on. The warlock in question might become expendable, if somebody is somehow forced to declare Himself. An Imp as his familiar might be a better spy, come to think of it. As the PCs head for the climactic confrontation, the Warlock's Patron - who usually communicates via proxies and messengers - might show up in person with a Top Secret and Highest Priority message / instructions. (Threaten to take back all the mortal's borrowed power if he balks). You can play up the devils in Varram's bodyguard. Use the Devilish Interview scenario. And find 3e Monsters of Faerun to get 5 dragon-devils who serve Tiamat. Anything you can locate about Tiamat in Unther (3e) would be another source of inspiration. Champions of Ruin and Lords of Darkness might have useful lore / notes. P.S. If another PC takes the 'gold dragon' background, you can also have Bahamut start to get into the act. He should offer to send reinforcements, not show up to fight personally. And be sure to complement the PC in Bahamut's voice for finding a Quest worthy to redeem himself. Encourage him to see it through. [/QUOTE]
