I'm trying to plan a 3.5 campaign set on Faerun, in the north, the trendy Drizzt esk places.
I have the beginning and the end planned. The middle isn't the problem... well kind of...
So, this is Forgotten Realms, and Baals gonna go for it all. Straight for the guts and glory (or domination). He's gonna conquer Faerun.
How?
I can't figure that part out. How would he conquer the world? And how would he do so that makes for a good campaign.
So far here are my ideas:
Specific stones are needed to create a portal. Think the runestones in Gauntlet. "Evil" is going to try to collect them all. And, to the dismay of the heros, evil is going to succeed. There are 2 ways to do this:
1. The heros always fail to retrieve the stones themselves.
2. The heros gather most the stones, lose some, and put them a safe place for keeping. Probably Silverymoon. But while Silverymoon is transporting them, the caravan is attacked, and the stones taken.
Actually.... that sounds like a great plan....
See, the heros stumble upon this plot while investigating a slave ring run by humans.... the slaves are needed to build the portal. It's huge, btw.
Hrm... just throw some ideas at me.
Oh, the end. The portal is gonna be opened. But while it's open and Baal tries to step through, another God is going to try to stop them. BAM! The heros get to watch God combat, in the meantime, lower plain ickys are gonna poor out of the portal, giving the heros plenty to do. I'm thinking about setting up Cyric against Bane too... I don't know.
Yah, toss me some ideas...
