I need some help on a one night session I'm going to have. The players will start out ECL 5 and level at least once during playtime. Now the story are going to flow as follows: Start Newthrone: They get back after killing stuff in the jungle. Here they have found an old book containing a script they cant really translate. (ancient goblin). They are told there is a person at the uni of Arcanix that can help them. He translates it, and tells the eyes of Aundair. The book contains information on a really big dragonshard. And the information is hiden in a town in the mournlands. On their way to the mournlands the eyes of Aundair contact them and tell them to stay the hell away from the treasure. In the mournland they encounter a bunch of yuan-ti who also are looking for the treassure. As the yuan ti try to flee he looses his backpack and the information reveals a contact who will pay handsomly for the shards return. They find the information they are looking for, and it is hidden in a border town between Karnnath and Mror Holds. Here they encounter the EoA who has found the shard, and some yuan ti again. The yuan-ti manages to escape with the shard and to their contact in Sharn. In Sharn they once more encounter the yuan-ti who they now know are up to no good. They chrash a restaurant as the yuan ti escape once again with both the shard and some sort of key device that are not good. They hire an airship and sett after them to the Shadow marches. In the shadowmarches there is a bit of a dungeon crawl and then finally at the top of a old goblinoid ruin they encounter some ancient evil thing that the yuan-ti wanted to release for no apparent reason other than being mean. The eyes of Aundair know of the yuan-ti's evil plan and think the PCs are in the way. The dragonshard is important to releasing the ancient evil in the ruins. What i need help with is as follows. 1) Any suggestions to the story? Anything cool to add. 2) Any good ideas for the final boss? I'm thinking of a portal where he comes out and they have to stop it, but I haven't really decided yet. The most important thing is that I don't want it to be a hack and slash ending. So far i have a: Warlock and a heavy hitting fighter. And i know one is going to be playing a scoundrel type of character, since he love that character concept. The last one is undecided so far.
