The party eventually worked out that he was not only planning to utilize a hugely powerful artifact that the minor items would lead him through, but had personally manipulated all of them into coming to him for aid and accepting him as a patron. They confronted him in his temple, were severly beaten and locked up. They managed to escape with the help of a member of his temple they'd befriended, only to be almost caught in the process (and they got to see their helper get obliterated by Marius). After they escaped, one of their primary goals was to find Marius someday and rip his throat out. It didn't help when they got involved in helping a forestful of elves fight an undead army and discovered that Marius had got in good with the leaders of the elves and was now a valued ally. They ended up in a huge knock-down dragout fight with the vampire leader of the undead. With the help of Marius, they managed to slay the vampire, after suffering some casualties. At that point, Marius attacked the remaining (all wounded) PCs and TPKed them. The Lord of Blades - One of my current Eberron games. The PCs entered the Mournland on a mission to recover some items belonging to Prince Oargev ir'Wynarn and ended up near the LoB's camp. They found the items but had to kill some warforged in getting away. They were tracked down and captured by a pair of the LoB's minions and a warforged titan, with only the two rogues escaping. The others revived back in his camp, stripped naked and tied to wooden stakes, and suffered a long and irritating harangue from the LoB, during which he almost tempted the warforged PC to join him. The two rogues pulled off a daring rescue and they escaped the Mournland, leaving the major amount of their equipment behind. They've been working on a plan to take down the LoB ever since. And recently some of his followers beat them up and cold-bloodedly killed the mentally retarded warforged they'd all fallen in love with (platonically, that is), right in front of them. Now they really hate him.Killian - In my other Eberron game, the PCs have met a gnome called Killian, who they are absolutely sure is evil and tied in with crime in Sharn. Unfortunately, he does nothing to harm them and keeps giving them information about one of the criminal organizations and suggesting (e.g. location of a drug den) the PCs take them down. Killian is quite open about being aware that the PCs dislike him and persists in baiting them, esp. the paladin. And last session, the paladin was mugged and lost his family heirloom, a very powerful sword, and is now in the position of needing information from Killian in order to get it back <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /></blockquote>
