Ive started coming up with Modules/Missions for the Evil Campaign my Players will be going through after they finish the first campaign. The PCs will be playing Banite Zhentarim.

What Ive come up with so far

1) Patrol outside Darkhold

2) Escape from Darkhold, The PCs are given the mission of sneaking into the gatehouse of Darkhold, Killing the Cyricist guards so the Banites can leave.

3) Journey to Zhentarim outpost in the Sunset Mountains (See raiders of Galaths roost)

4)After passing through the portal in the outpost the PCs arrive in Mistledale, where they raid the Dale for Food and Supplies for the Garrision. After the raid the PCs send all the live stock and slaves through the portal before continueing on to Zhentil Keep

5) Journey to Zhentil Keep

6)The PCs are assigned the job of tracking down a Serial killer whose been killing Children of both Peasant and Nobles in Zhentil Keep (im going to base the killer on Neb (from the BG series) and make him a Cleric of Cyric and load him down with Vile feats from BOVD

7) Journey to the Zhentarim outpost at the Mines of Tethyrmar

8) Escort a delivery of Zhentarim drugs through the Desertmouth moutains and the Stonelands to Cormyr and sell them.

9)Return to the Mines with the gold from the Drug mission, they thn find the outpost is under attack from a Large Group of Dwarves or Shades from Shade enclave

10) The PCs are then given a bag of Holding each which is full of Fake Cormyr currency to spend in Cormyr (The Zhentarim plan on undermining the Cormyrian ecconomy by introducing fake currency into the country)

11)Upon returning to the mines the PCs are given the job of going into the Desert to check out an Old Netherese Ruin that is not to far away from the Mines, a Zhentarim traveler traveling along the Black Road reported that he had seen some Shades poking around the site

12)The PCs then travel back to Zhentil Keep

13) Scyulla Tells them that theres a Cyrcist cell active in the ruined section of Zhentil Keep and she orders them to track down and destroy the cell

14) The PCs Travel with Scyllua to Scardale town

15) The locals are unable to determine if Scyllua is really LAshans daughter but they decide that if LAshan is her father then there will be documents at the Leaves of Learning church in Deepingdale. The council of Scardale in Chandlercross elects to send Paladins and Clerics of Torm and Tyr Scyllua sends the PCs. Upon arriving in Deepingdale the PCs are hindered by the Harpers who try and replace the documents with fakes to undermine Scylluas claim to the Dale.

16) After returning to Scardale the PCs are told they need to travel to Tantras and obtain a Tonne of soil from the Magic Dead area in and around Tantras

17) While the Pcs where in Tantras the Sembians began mobilising to drive the Zhents out of Scardale. To counter this Scyllua contacted the Leader of the Monk of the Long Death monestary in Scardale and pays them to slaughter the Nobility and MErchant Princes of Sembia. One of the PCs said he wants play a monk of the Long Death in the evil campaign so the PCs will be drawn into the Assasinations, the PCs will be given the job of Assassinating Miklos Selkirk.

18) The PCs travel to Hillsfar to join the Zhentarim army besieging the City

19)Fzoul orders the PCs to infiltrate the city and kill a Mage inside the city, a Demonologist whose been summoning Demons to defend the city.

20)Fzoul has found another Bane Lich, hes discovered theres one some where near Phlan (its actually taken up residence in the Pyrimid from Pool of Radiance.


and thats as far as Ive got

Coments? Suggestions?

While I can certainly see the Harpers trying to block Scyllua's claim, using false documents doesn't seem to be their style. Remember, one of the goals of the group is to preserve information. So them deliberately placing false info somewhere seems out of character.

The Harpers would think of it along the lines of it being for the Greater Good, remember the Harpers are CG which means theyve got no real respect for Laws and Rules. If a bit of Desception will stop an evil from taking route in Scardale then there quite happy to do it.

But one of their goals is the preservation of knowledge... I think they'd be more likely to try to find a better candidate, and prove their worthiness, than to doctor documents.

While the harpers are into preserving knowledge I think that the Common good would win out in the end. After all most Harpers tend to be CG, there not Followers of Oghma

There's some very exciting gameplay elements in these plot details, Dargoth. I wish you were living in Perth...

Just a question regarding the portion I quoted above - Which "demonologist" class will you be using for this character? I'm curious.

Likely THE Demonologist PrC from BOVD

The Nar Demonbinder doesnt quite fit what Im looking for for this NPC

The Demonologist in question is the Wak Rathar from the Hillsfar entry of FR Adventures

Ah. I was hoping that you were intending on using the Demonologist PrC from the BoVD. Every other interpretation I have seen regarding the class has left a bitter taste in my mouth . The Demonologist from Encyclopedia: Demonology was probably the most poorly constructed. It threw my "60 Seconds Over Ordulin" campaign into complete disarray, particularly when it's over-powered abilities come into play...

Im not a big fan of non WOTC D&D stuff so Ive never looked at the book you mentioned.

Wak is going to be really evil and vile, when the PCs go through his tower they will find tortured men, Women and Children, vile cross breeding attempts between Mortals and Demons in short lots of stuff from the Book of Vile Darkness

Ooh, sounds particularly vile. On top of the things that the PCs will likely encounter, be sure to mention such items as elven flesh-bound tomes, dirty glass jars which contain a vast collection of souls from innocent little girls, and dwarven-tongue rugs...

When they finally catch up to him they'll find hes just summoned a Vrock which he intends to bind to his service by offering it the Life and soul of child he has at his feet, they'll also find a Book of Vile Darkness somewhere in the tower (You know Im only aware of one BOVD in the Realms in all of the FRs published accessorys, theres one under the Grandfather tree)

Yes, I remember asking you about were you read that particular reference since I had so obviously forgotten.

I have two copies of the BoVD in my FR campaign. The first is the 'official' copy, which is under the Grandfather Tree. The second, and mostly campaign-relevant copy is currently the "heart" of an evil cult that is preying on Tantras, in the baatezu-dominated district.

My Tantras hasn't been quite "right" since the epic battle between the avatars' of both Bane and Torm during the Time of Troubles. In my campaign, Bane supplemented his forces with demon- and hell- spawn drawn directly from Acheron. Torm could do little to respond to that since he had few followers of sufficient power and level in the city to assist him by bringing in some reserve archons and eladrins.

After the battle concluded, the baatezu and tanar'ri started fighting amongst themselves. To end this post quickly, I'll just end by saying the eventually the baatezu won out over the demons, and have dominated an eastern portion of the city since.

I'd considered that, but I always preferred the idea that Hellgate was a pretty unique place in the Realms. The eastern portions of Tantras in my Realms, is more like the baatezu slum districts in Dis.

It isn't. In fact, I've been gearing up for a major campaign in the region over the next couple of months. It's based around the fact that Torm and his clergy have finally established a strong enough power base in the city to finally purge the fiendish influence (the Harpers [who are secretly working with the clergy] have recently uncovered evidence that several city officials are now functioning as baatezu thralls) from the heart of Tantras.

I'll be attempting something like you have done here, posting my outline and asking for suggestions and comment. I'm hoping you'll have some interesting points to make.

Thralls work, but what about out-and-out replacements, the way Lord Orgauth of Zhentil Keep was replaced by a pit fiend?

I would agree naturally, but the party has just (last year) came out of an adventure in the Darkhold in an attempt to uncover "out-and-out" replacements of both Ashemmi and Sememmon. It was the Harper's logic that having the real Ashemmi and Sememmon in place was vastly preferrable than having fiendish impersonators...

We'll I was in the Tin Soldier on Monday and found the perfect mini to represent the Banelich

http://www.reapermini.com/gallery/2800s/2822_G

Now I just got to decide what weapons hes got (When the PCs catch up to him it will probably be an 18-21 CR encounter) Im thinking of giving a Crown that gives him a bonus to Wisdom, an Unholy Longsword and an Artifact, "the Staff of Bane", I havent decided what powers the artifact will have, SUgestions?

The Bane lich will have levels of Cleric/Blackguard and Dreadmaster

Your miniature suggestion is a clever design, Dargoth. Of course, I'd prefer to see the mini painted, but the utter horror and mind-numbing terror that liches always seem to portray is well detailed on this mini. Now, if only you could find a way to portray the lich's stench of decay, you'd have a fantastic villain for your campaign.



Now, reading about your thoughts on what powers to incorporate into the staff, I came across this spell a short while back -
quote:
Dominance of Flesh
Necromancy
Level: Wiz/Src 8
Components:V, S
Casting Time:1 action
Range:Touch
Duration:2 rounds/level (4 minutes)
Saving Throw:Will negates
Spell Resistance:Yes

Upon casting the target makes a Will Save, a succes negates the spell, if they fail the spell procedes as normal. If the spell succedes the target only controls it's mind, not its body. All abilities they have that do not require use of the body they can make (they still have command of all of their senses btw.) However all aspects require control of ones body are subject to control by the caster. All skills requiring both use of mind and body cannot be used for the duration. Any action by the target that is directly self destructive is subject to a Will save by the target, if the save fails the action goes through, however the effect breaks after one self destructive action.

*NOTE* The attention required to force the target to move about make attacks et cetera makes the DC for any will save against self destructive attacks lower by 5.

I'm not sure whether it may help you to round out the abilities and powers of the staff though. I'll have to do some research.

I like it .

I have a few particularly nasty abilities that you may be interested in, but I'm hesitant to post them here because two of those said abilities include rather graphic descriptions. It's part of the reason why I've only posted them over at RoE where there's an age restriction for people visiting the forum.

If you're interested, I'll pick out a few choice examples and send them to you via the ever efficient ethereal mail service.

Anyway, let's just say that some of the younger scribes here would like need to make a 'nausea' check after reading some of the abilities that I was talking about previously...

I'm assuming that you actually meant "in what way?"

Anyway, let's just say that some of the younger scribes here would like need to make a 'nausea' check after reading some of the abilities that I was talking about previously...

Oh, there's little gross-ness involved. I don't particularly enjoy using those elements in my campaigns either. I prefer the mind-altering, subtle effects of horror. The effects of these abilities are mostly psychological, rather than physical. It's more a question of making the victim *think* he's being affected...

I rather like your suggestion for the Steel Regent, Dargoth. Can I ask what type of colour scheme you'll be using though, in order to paint this mini?
