So I decided I wanted to add some more recurring bad guys to spread through the first few modules, and I hit upon the idea of having Thrune send for a team of "Troubleshooters" to help solidify his control of the city. My idea was to have them be the ones immediately responsible for the Night of Ashes.
I also introduced them by showing one of them chastising Nox as she demurely accepts the criticism, this being after they witnessed Nox practically bisecting someone. They're suitably concerned. My idea is to add them into various Thrune operations (The Doghousing at the start of Book 2, intercepting them on a ship on route to Vyre, stuff like that) as single operatives, then have them launch the assault on the Lucky Bones in Book 4 (my players already went out of their way to wipe out and discredit the Chelish Citizens Group) as a group.
Since I have a party, I figured the easiest way to counter them would be evil opposites.
I'm also gonna be posting my stats (at various levels) for these guys if anyone wants some additional NPC's as I stat them up.
One of them is an Eldritch Archer statted as close as I can make it to Hanzo from Overwatch. That's gonna be fun.
