Message: <blockquote data-quote="MerricB" data-source="post: 4857845" data-attributes="member: 3586">Thanks for all the advice so far.Just to throw in a few existing plot threads that I haven't developed properly yet...The Minions of Iuz (and Archibald)Iuz, evil demigod and ruler to the north-east, has sent a priest along with a few orcs to set up a base in the City of Greyhawk. The group first encountered them when the minions were setting up a smuggler's base in a cave by the river. It was at this point that Archibald (tiefling warlock) betrayed the party and joined with the minions. The next encounter with the minions was in the city itself, when the party stopped Archibald and the orcs setting up a hidden base within the Old Quarter.The latest encounter has been Archibald destroying a magic portal that had brought them to the demiplane of Farika (a jungle land where they intended to hunt beasts). At present, they're looking for a way back. Exactly why Archibald has trapped them there is not quite clear to me (it's a fun thing to do, that's one reason), but I expect that he (a) wants them out of the way and (b) the minions are doing something in the city presently.This needs more development.The Mask of RiflisThe PCs investigated an old cairn which contained the potent druidical artefact, the Mask of Riflis. They failed(!) to stop a priest of Nerull gaining the artefact. Obviously, this will have repercussions. As the party have been trapped in Farika for a month or more, I'm thinking that the City of Greyhawk should now be under siege by undead animals or something similar. It's protected by its mages, but they aren't free to stop the power of the mask (as all their power is used countering it). Or something like that.So, another plot thread that I need to develop.The See of MedegiaA spur-of-the-moment introduction into the game. The See of Medegia (a Lawful Evil/Hextorian realm) has sent agents to Greyhawk to conclude a purchase of demon-bane weapons from the Arch-clericy of Veluna (a Lawful Good/Raoan realm). The PCs spoke to the agents (who had imbibed too much wine and fell to the charm of the PCs) and learnt of the transaction. Why are the Hextorians wanting the weapons? I'm not quite sure - I think they want to deal with a demonic incursion in their land - but this may have additional ramifications that, yes, I need to develop further!Teresa Corthan and her GrandfatherTeresa Corthan is a apprentice mage and friend of one of the PCs (William). They may be romantically involved. Her grandfather is a noble of Greyhawk with strong trading backgrounds. He has hired the group on a couple of occasions (one occasion saw them clearing out a troll nest that led to the Mask of Riflis incident).Both of these characters can obviously affect existing adventures or spur new ones.Cheers!</blockquote>
