The Exchange

1. Kaiya - A half-elf paladin kept in a Cage suspended from the ceiling of a Village Tavern as a Watchdog/Early warning System for the detection of Evil.

Liberty's Edge

2. An uplifting tale of a small publishing company taking on the "Big Guy" to produce a role playing game that is fun and playable. The story ends (or begins?) with them selling out every copy of their first print run.

3. The entire population of a small town in the northwestern section of Cheliax mysteriously vanishes. A group of Pathfinders is sent to investigate.


4. Scene in which a mysterious wizard, disguised as a greenman, makes a cameo that is apparently unrelated to the main thread of the plot...or is it?

Sovereign Court

Ooh, I love this story!

5. Valeros stumbles into the possessed queen's plot for immortality. Will he be charmed by the young beauty, or perhaps by his female companions? How long will it be before his next stiff drink?


Opening sequence is a fierce battle between a force of warriors fighting a dragon trying to defend a local Andoran community.

A band of adventurer's at the village inn are recruited to help hunt down and slay the dragon as their quest leads them into several perils as they eventually learn what is really going on and have to decide which side to fight on, the devilry of their Chelish employers or the mysterious transmuter whose use of polymorph magic is all that stands between the true villains and the fiendish artefact her entire family were eradicated to obtain in their insane pursuit of power?

Maybe a bit too much would you say?

6. Can it start with the scene with Merisiel, Kyra and Valeros in the bath? The plot, such as it is, pretty much writes itself.

7. Pathfinder Noir! Valeros, a scarred, grizzled, street-wise sellsword, is thrust into an adventure in Absalom, when robed weirdos with curvy daggers keep trying to kill him, and he doesn't know why. He ends up bumping into a mysterious and exotically-beautiful sorceress (who may or may not be working with the people trying to kill him!), a whirling dervish of a desert priestess, who saves his life in one scene, and clubs him over the head with her scimitar-hilt in another, and a shadowy elven rogue who flits in and out of view, seeming to lead him ever onwards (usually into danger).

By the end of it, he finds out that he's been possessed by an evil artifact that has stripped him of his memory, and the three femme fatales who keep showing up have been saving him from the cultists who want to use him to re-awaken their dead demon-lord, while having to avoid spending any time with him, to avoid being influenced by the artifact! They've been trying to stay ahead of him, to keep the plans of the evil cult from coming to fruition, while leading him into a final confrontation that will free him, or doom them all, depending on what choices he makes and whom he chooses to trust...


8. Seoni just breathing. Pilates, even better!


As long as someone fights a couple polar bears- ooo ooo, wait! better -- giant spiders!

Mention spiders ONE MORE TIME and I will kill you. PAINFULLY.


What about a storyline where a hero is helped by his loyal, number one buddy to overcome his fear of spiders? That'd be a great story!

Don't blame me or Kevin Smith... you should be out hunting producer Jon Peters.


I got bit on the leg by a spider once (at least one memorable time). The bite swelled up, A LOT, and I finally went to the doctor. Good thing I did.

Gotcha!

Gah! Going to kill you!!! Warp Ceramic!

How about a story where a kobold hero begins waging war on the spiders, accompanied by his leas--um, favorite minion, who at the end gives up his life to save said kobold hero.


Well...only if we watch "Wrath of the Spider Queen" first...

Wait, it'll just be a movie, right KC?

10ish. A group of anti-kobold goblins and their bugbear allies moves into a nearby cave system and begins the wanton destruction of the entire kobold population. These goblins ally with the Drow, who send their spider allies to aid them in the extermination attempt. The local group of heroes hears about the planned genocide, but decides to remain at the local drinking hole rather than look into it.

If Drizzt gets offed in the first fifteen minutes of the theatrical cut, I'll put up some production money. If you off Jon Peters too, I'll put up more. And those stupid Ge*c* cavemen. And...

And discover that the entire town was sacrificed to unspeakable horrors, and that their Venture Captain is secretely in on it, as the hungry, hungry horror has decided that mere villagers weren't enough of a sacrifice, merely appetizers, and it wants more 'seasoned' fare.

The adventurers weren't sent to 'investigate the problem.' They were sent to add to the body count...

...at which point the kobolds, finally driven to war, kill the goblinoids and drow with superior numbers and tactics. They decide to take their incredible strength to the surface world, attacking every night. The local drinking hole is the first to go.

Wait, wait... I'm fine with the wanton destruction and gratuitous bloodshed, but you want to destroy the alcohol establishments? You should be enslaving the gnome brewers (and maybe that tree-living Keebler clan for their tasty snacks).

Unless of course you kobolds are master brewers with barley, grains, and hops. Then you can squish the gnomes. Just please, no kobold-brewed beers based on deep mushrooms (they make me break out in hives).

Man, you surface-dwellers are weird. Fine, you can have normal beer.

the trick to enslaving the surface world is offering better health care and food than they get outside. We're having a lot of luck in the US, incidentally.
