Jul 15, 2010 19:49:04 ok I'm planing an epic level campaign and would like some tips. I'm not new to being a DM ive ran lots of non epic but have only ran 10 or 20 epic adventures but never a hole epic campaign. I'm baceing it on an adventure were my friend epic sorcerer\ardafaser\soul bender looks in a dungen to find some epic spell tablits. he finds a gloom (see epic level handbook pg192) half way threw and talks to him to find more about the dungeon, he discovers that all the monsters in the dungen ether haved their minds altered by magic for absolute servitude or been inslaved by a magical collar. also that the a peson know as the master had tricked a army of infernals (see epic level handbook pg164) to surve him and also a army of leshay (see epic level handbook pg202) were inslaved threw memory alterations with some random epic monsters as slaves. at the end of the enconter a spell blastes of the coller of the gloom and with out the magical influence of the coller the gloom was able to tell my friend the real plan of his master. the masters plan was to gather all of the Nether Scrolls to summon the imortal essence of karsus (see forgotten realms campaign setting pg265) to get all the magic and knowledge of arcana he needed to rise to the set of mystra take control of the weave and rise to god houd and slowly kill all the other gods and seal their souls in an orb of power till he is one of the last 3 gods left him and lord Ao creater of the universe and the god of realty and also the chaned one. due to the fact that Ao is neutral and will never intrfere with any thing outside his plane and the chaned one can'tdo any thing (becuse he is chaned). so with no one to stop him he will kill everything and remake the planes. in the campaign you need to stop him befor he gathers more than 50 of the nether scrolls or it would be near impossible to bet him. so any tips or advise on what to do i could realy use it.

Your adventure is a total gary stu. The plot, the happenstance, the setting.
