I am putting together a campaign, after being away from the game for a while. I have my overall plot, but I need some help filling in the gaps and getting my players form boss to boss. The whole thing starts out with the party being awakened in the middle of the night in the inn of a city they just arrived in. All they hear around them is the sound of fire and the moaning of the undead. The entire city is in flames, and the Inn will be the next to go. The party must make its way to the only sancuatary they notice, which is a temple on a hill at the north end of town. Inside the temple they see a box which is lit from above. When they open the box all that is inside is a note which reads: "In times of need say his name And Silverthorn will obey The messenger of the gods will appear And and assist you any way you need" When someone in the party says his name, a young boy(around 14) appears and asks "What is your wish master?" The party can ask him questions, which he will always answer either in riddles or so vaguely that it isn't a lot of help. Once the party puts together that he says wish, the party can call him and wish for things which they may or may not get. Undead burst through the front of the church and the only escape is a door at the altar which leads to the tombs under the church. There are several sarcophogi here, under one of them is a full set of half pplate and a longsword. These shine as if newly polished, but its obvious they haven't been in use in centuries. They will also notice a hole in the far wall. Inside this hole are several cards with pictures of various demonic looking figures as well as a few diety or angelic type creatures and one of Silverthorne. From here I don't have the rest mapped out yet, but in the end Silverthorne will be the main bad guy with the creatures on the cards as "sub-bosses". The world is being overrun with undead, and my solution to the cleric problem was that, as part of this campaign, all of the clerics spells are "iffy" there is a 60% chance the spell will fail, 30% chance the spell will work normally, and a 10% the spell is supercharged in some way. I also intend to have the cleric in our party treat Silverthorne as though he were the equivalent of the pope. He will get secret visits from SIlverthorne away from the other party members, and the cleric will listen to everything Silverthorne says. Any help or critiques are much appreciated.
