| Pivotal03-08-07, 01:26 PM | I have a party now at lvl 10 in Eberron. They are more or less good aligned. They have been working together on different missions. First they went trough the published adventures gaining the emerald claw and to a lesser degree the lord of blades as enemies. Their last mission now was kidnapping Zorlan d'Cannith because of his connections to blood of vol and giving him to the other parts of House Cannith (wich is now more or less United with Joarlanna as its leader. When they raided Zorlans wagon they also found a blind human girl (she was originally there to fall in love with one of the characters who is god damn ugly). And now I want to eventually get my party to Sarlona and I was thinking that this might be a good link for me. My thoughts so far is that she could be a powerfull psion from Sarlona but since she also don't remember anything she doesnt know or have control over her powers. Options for storylines from that point could be that she has a Quori inside of her head but for some reason its been trapped in there and cant control her (or only do so mildly) and it can't leave. One of the characters is a silver flame exorsist and as such would probably want to get her out of there, but the magic that has trapped the Quori there is strong and the only way to get it out of her head would be the Teeth of Three in Adar. This would include getting to Sarlona, getting acsess to Riedra, traveling trough Riedra, finding guides to get them into Adar(The summit road), traveling in Adar, getting in touch with and finding out about Chanaakar, perhaps helping him with some mission(Perhaps some ancient Couatl Ruin), then being told about Adhrytamin and the Spirit of Mountainsoul wich they need to talk to to get a key to Korrandar. Then they need to pass trough Korrandar and reach the Chamber of the Teeth. That is mostly what I have so far. But I do need more to flesh things out and connect things better. Also any other suggestions would be good. I also want to connect the Storm Guardians into this, letting them visit them and such. As for possible patrons that they already are familiar with they have House Cannith mostly, possibly House Lyrandar/House Orien. They also have gotten missions from someone they dont know quite who is (but actually is someone from The Chamber). They mainly does as he says because he used an artifact (or similar, I didn't really decide :p) while they were in Xendrik to give them all a blackout and then talk to them while all they could see was him and eachother. Also he raised one of them when he died in a combat right afterwards as a show of power to get them to do as he said. I don't want to use him too much though to push them. I know they will do as he says cause they fear him, but I want to give the feeling that they have a bit more choice. So.. Your Thoughts? |

| Yakman03-09-07, 02:50 PM | well, how about you have these weird marks start appearing (and then fading) away on her skin. these occur when she has weird seizures--lights start going on and off, people see visions of flames and noise, etc. When going to the Adar ghetto in some town, they see a sign that has similar markings as the ones on her skin. The old Adari wizard in the ghetto figures out that the girl has a splinter of a couatl trapped in her mind, and that it will eventually destroy her. So the party has to journey to the Monastery of Suchandsuch to find the great poobah who can remove the couatl shard from her soul. Thoughts>? |
| Pivotal03-09-07, 06:39 PM | Yakman: I like the idea, but since I have no way to get them to Sarlona in the first place (much less Adar) and no reason for them to take her with them I would probably have to make this happen while still in Korvaire. They would probably get her examined and that could lead to them finding out they would need to take her to Adar. I like this :) If anyone else have suggestions I would love to hear them. There are probably people here with a better understanding of Sarlona then me :) |
| SwarthmoreDB03-12-07, 12:26 AM | Maybe some heads of state from a few kingdoms in Khorvaire have been asked to go to Sarlona (for whatever reason, maybe for negotiating more food aid for Karrnath, let's say) and they have been asked to be guards for them. That could work... |
| Pivotal03-12-07, 11:16 AM | Swarthmore: It could, but I think that the players are more likley to leave the girl be back in Korvaire and I can't risk that if I want this storyline to happen :) Also, I'm looking at connecting the silver flames from under the Chamber of the teeth to the partys silver flame cleric as a grand finale. Any ideas? |

| Amara Trapspringer03-16-07, 05:55 PM | Or you could run "Shattered Gates of Slaughtergarde". |
| Pivotal03-17-07, 06:32 AM | Amara Trapspringer: Huh? What does that have to do with anything? |
| Amara Trapspringer03-19-07, 04:42 PM | Amara Trapspringer: Huh? What does that have to do with anything? There are gates set up within the dungeons that you can use to Transport the PC's virtually anywhere.:D |
