[QUOTE="tuxgeo, post: 5083038, member: 61026"] Not for inside the town so much, but for outside the town: let the Moonchokers represent agents of the rival town of SearPawl on the opposite side of the local geographic feature of your choice -- be it a river or a lake or a mountain range or an inland sea or a desert, etc. Let the Moonchokers be working for the Calibergauge Sage, who is envious of the Clockwork Mage, and wants to gain the Mage's magic to enhance the Sage's firearms -- because the Sage still has to do everything by hand these days, not having access to the Mage's magic to make it "just work" without such elaborate and excruciating effort. As a bonus feature, let the name "Moonchokers" actually be a mispronunciation of something entirely different, which the PCs will be able to figure out at a later time. Also (and this is [I][B]really[/B][/I] abstruse; but you [I][B]did[/B][/I] say 'the fourth of that name'): "The name's the thing. No gadget would come alive for The Clockwork Westley." Have one of the Moonchokers keep saying, "My name in unimportant. You killed my inventiveness. Prepare to fry." [/QUOTE]
