Message: <blockquote data-quote="Scottius" data-source="post: 7973453" data-attributes="member: 6782008">In your current campaign, who's your villain? I'm actually running the same campaign for two groups. Up to the present both groups have been tangling with a cult devoted to Orcus. They're currently raiding the cults headquarters in a dungeon located in the Undercity after being tipped off to its existence by an NPC ally. The leader is one Arcturus Krim who they previously met via a projected image when they raided one of the cults other hideouts. What are its goals, methods and alignment? They're chaotic evil being aligned with Demons & all. Their main reason for hunting the pc's is because they have a very powerful magic sword they found in an earlier adventure which is rather infamous in the outer planes because of its power to absorb the essence of extradimensional beings (angel or fiend) which it slays. The cult's demonic patrons have ordered it be recovered (it belonged to Orcus' followers a long time ago and had been sealed away until the party found it). They used a spy to keep tabs on the party when they arrived in the settings major city and have made attempts to break into their inn and steal the sword, using paralytic poison to hinder the party. They've also used demonic minions to assault them directly as well. What is needed in order for its goals to succeed? If they were to obtain the sword they would pass it back to their masters who would put it to nefarious use which would have downstream consequences for the campaign. Do you have multiple villains? If so, what is their relationship to each other? I am developing future villains to appear in the campaign assuming the party defeats Arcturus & his lackeys at the end of the dungeon. The cult of Orcus actually has another secret leader who is connected in the high society of the city. I plan on revealing this later, giving them a break from the Orcus cult for a bit. I'm working on an Assassin's guild run by a Vampire and brainstorming some other foes presently.</blockquote>
