Hey everyone. I'm running a campaign I'm just basing on a bigger power..."The League of Four". It is a level 20 Orc (10 in Fighter, 10 in Barby), level 20 Elven Ranger, Level 20 Mind flayer (8 in abberation, 12 in Sorcerer), and a level 15 Half-Elf Rogue. They are all Chaotic Evil (hopefully didn't violate any rules with that) and none of my PC's know this, which is good. Their alignments vary from LN to CE.
Now, they've been doing missions for them, and I need to get them away from them. So I'm thinking about sending the League of Four to a different plane for a while, and while they are gone, the PC's learn the truth about the League of Four. They are murderers, robbers, etc., and the PC's will (hopefully) react negatively towards them, not going back to them for a while.
Now, when the PC's get strong enough, I'm going to have them start working for a group of good guys (Haven't though of a name yet). And eventually, this new group will send them into a different plane (the same one the League of Four are on) and have to systematically kill each League of Four-er, for they are distrupting the general ebb and flow of the world the PC's start on, Gaia.

I need some help about how to get from point A to point B in this. Thanks for your time.

Got some more ideas.
An NPC is going to join them...the most beautiful woman the group has ever seen. However, her name is Chastity. (Ha, Irony). She is a servant of Pelor, and will help them through the undead, and will become a regular NPC for the rest of this campaign.

There is also going to be a rebellion against the league of four led by Bobby Strong! (Urinetown reference). This won't happen for many more sessions, though. And then they will work for Bobby Strong until they gather enough supplies and recruits to take out the league of four and their cronies.

How does it sound so far?

Sounds cool. But why would your PCs (at least one of whom is Chaotic Evil) care that their employers are bad guys? Wouldn't they just shrug and say "as long as the money's good..."?

Point taken. Hmmm.
Well, we are adding about 3 new PCs to the lot, and I'm probably going to have everyone reroll their characters, because a lot of them want to. And I hope they aren't as CE.

Well, if your players are going to reroll, you could have your group just make new characters--one's that lean more towards the Lawful and Good sides of the continuum, and go on with your plot as described. Then, swipe the group's older characters and make them opposing NPC's to the new characters.

Or, you could have the PC's get attacked by a zealous group of paladins who forceably "convert" your party to the Good side. The rerolls would be a result of the traumatic process of conversion. . . just a few ideas . . .

Thanks for all the help, guys.
They just rerolled last session (only two of them), and they are both level two. A LG Dwarf Fighter and a LG Elf Ranger. Funny. An Elf an a dwarf in the same party. They fight a lot, to say the least. Not like, actual fighting, but yeah. And then we have a LG Human Cleric (level four) named Chastity. Taken a vow of chastity and pacifism, because she is trying to become basically the deity Pelor's right hand person. So, all she can do is heal. Haha. And turn the undead.
