For the first time, I don't have any inspiration for the adventure I'm finishing. Maybe all of you could help me.

The quest is for 4 4th level characters :

- An Elan psion, kind of Kalashtar weapon that didn't turned well and decided to let them with their problem

- A Changeling Fighter/Favorite Soul : The diplomat in the group

- Two warforged, newly created for LoB secrets forge. They've been trained with LoB mentality and were totally brainwashed. They figured out that killing fleshies on the streets wasn't a good thing to do. (Now they kill them in wildness... Don't ask me what they done with Grilsha... ) One is a fighter and the other an Artificer so they complete each other.

And here's what I've worked out :

The PCs are working for Viorr now as undercover citadel agents. They caused quite a mess in Sharn so I've came up with the idea that Viorr come meet them in prison to offer them a deal. It was that, or execution. ( They killed many guards in Korranath... long story...) So evidently they took the offer. They passed WotVB and now Viorr offer them a new job, the last before their liberation.

The job consist in investigation of strange things in the streets of Sharn. The Daask are more and more strongly armed. With even magic items to help them. So they are to meet a contact named Shadow,an halfling (Boromar but they don't know) in Malleon Gate. To make a long story short, they meet the guy not able to see his face cause he don his hunter mask, and after a briefing they go investigate an exchange between Daask happening this night.

There they see that there many powerful magic items given in a big wooden box. Shadow decide to attack the Daask and in the comotion of the fight he flee with the box. If the PCs interrogate some Daak they learn that there is a delivery every weeks but they don't know from were it is.

After, the PCs will try to investigate to find from where is the delivery. And a day they will receive a message from a man named Halakard, he will ask them to come at his shop to meet them and think he can provide them some hints. Halakard is a half-ogre illegal merchant (In truth is a changelling, a passer. And his most bigger fear is to be discovered). Halakard is friendly with them and provide them the information he know. He reveal them that he was in Daask some time ago. But he found new allies and his objectives weren't anymore accomplished by staying with them, so he let them behind, leaving with an enormous sum of money from the gang ( But he don't say that it those terms... He his kinda poetic and try to explain himself as having done no wrong at all. Just trying to get big, and to be big you need to be a little bit egoist...) He says that by helping them it will help him a lot ( Daask are growing stronger so they are likely to come after him). He say to them that the delivery come from Droam and explain to the PCs the link between Daask and the sisters of Sora Krell. He says that a cargo going from Sharn to Droam is about to leave and that the PCs should hurry up.

Now here I am, i don't have any inspiration to put action in their travel. I tought they might do the travel in boxes and pop up in the factory in Droam. Also why Droam are supplying Daask. I also feel that there isn't enough eberronish flavor in my adventure. I plan to put a Warforged Titan and an Cannith excoriate in the factory. The Cannith excoriate is the leader of the factory operated by slaves he want his revenge by creating illegal goods like Warforged and things like that, Droam have been supplying him.

Thanks a lot to have read all that!
