[QUOTE="Baveboi, post: 5394382, member: 99509"] You can also introduce a bit more dept around the betrayal/grimdark mood. What if the small and helpless race was actually good, but driven insane by the madening whispers of the Shadow Dragon? I imagine the elder asking for help for they have ill younglings dying and they need help with medicine/cure/something from outside. They could be normal when the pcs leave them to do the quest and when they get back with whatever help they could find they are for a surprise. They don't attack at first, no. They are just seated there, around dead corpses of the young, chewing on their raw meat, tears dripping from their mad eyes. They would invite the PCs like it wasn't a big deal, they wanted to believe it wasn't, but they were sooo hungry and the voices, always the voices. When the PCs act with disgust/rage/outrage they attack, furious at themselves and them, they turn into abominations, monsters twice as big as they were. Throw in some relationship with the PCs and some "But we can't kill them! They are still there, inside those things!" and you have moral dillema enough to make a paladin fall. Other good sources are Dragon Age, Berserk and Warhammer Universe. [/QUOTE]
