[QUOTE="Todd Roybark, post: 7927616, member: 6920677"] Menon Balacazar....or Balthazar, as I changed the name...the aged, wily, patriarch of the crime family of the same name. I loved role playing him, he came out very rarely himself, and was so much fun to play, being a non classed old man...which in 3e should have been a quick end for him. The PC group hated Menon, and his son Malkeen, but could never find enough direct evidence of his malfeasance to either counteract his political pull or justify taking vigilante action on their own. I always played the family as having valuable information or assistance, but at an uncomfortable cost, as everyone knew the family was evil. In desperate straits, and unable to get a critical piece of information themselves on a galchutt threat, the party in desperation turned to Menon, who gave the group the information and a tavern. Of course the Balthazar’s controlled the staff, and the contracts for the services of the tavern, and used it as a way to spy on the group, and rope them into the crime family’s sphere of influence. The tavern was named the Roaring Bore, being in Midtown and a little on the quiet side, but the party heard instead the name as the “Roaring Boar” which stuck. Memory 2- the 1st time the party tried staying in the Necropolis overnight. The group was sure something awful was going to happen, and [I]they were right[/I]. Too many good memories to be honest. Sean, if we can see a more expanded Maze of Mirrors write up or full stats, I would greatly appreciate it!😆 [/QUOTE]
