Message: <blockquote data-quote="Psychotic Jim" data-source="post: 587601" data-attributes="member: 547">Looks like you have a pretty good setting going.  How about the small god inhabit a magical item (maybe a sword?) that they find when dealing with their first or second adventure.   The person who would become the BBEG might initially have wanted to use the item/weapon to defeat the church, which he sees as evil (whether it really isl or not).  After the heroes subdue his loose gang of brigands (1st level warrior and adepts) at his hideout, the church inquisition shows up and wants everyone who is not a member of the church who knows about all of this disposed of.  A three-way fight between the brigands, the inquisitors, and the PCs erupts, and somehow in the chaos the small god in the sword is split into an evil and a not-so-evil fragments.  The evil fragment goes into the brigand lord, and the not-so-evil fragment stays in the sword.  The brigand lord is thought dead, thought to have burned to death.  Then there is a typical huge explosion, burying the compound.  The heroes discover that the sword is sentient, and the small god is about dead.  It takes on the nature the party believes it is.  If they believe it is evil, it becomes evil.  If good, it becomes good.    The characters now have some problems. First, they must escape the buried complex which may hold Unspeakable Entities from Beyond that were unleashed by the magical catastrophe. There is also some evil/corruptionj within the church, and the PCs must try to restore the faith in their god; on the other hand they also have to deal with this spirit of belief in the sword that is a potential rival to their own god(s).  Then there is the BBEG lurking around the corner pitting the church against the PCs as an act of vengeance.</blockquote>
