Ideas for Leng?

[wspatterson]

I'll try to avoid spoilers, but players should probably just not read this.
Anyway, as we all know, there are the denizens of Leng and their big machine. That really actually can't be destroyed.
The party in my game want to return to Xin-Shalast six months later (after winter). I'm trying to decide what to do with the denizens and their machine, since I doubt they're just going to give up their purpose. Unfortunately, I'm finding myself short on inspiration and would like to see what thoughts other people have on the matter.
Thanks!

Actually I think they would abandon the machine. It's supposed to draw energy from the return/resurrection/whatever you want to call it of the BBEG. With him gone there is no potential power source.

They may have converted the castle into their HQ in this world, but any doomsday devices should be hidden elsewhere. At least that's my opinion.

Of course there's still the question of how easily they can get to the world from Leng. If it is easy, why haven't they overrun the planet yet? Maybe there are just a few portals and most are guarded by dragons; with denizens of Leng being a favored dragon snack? And since the party killed the dragon/dragons in and around the city as well as any guardian in the citadel, they can now pass freely from Leng.

Leng's got a LOT of stuff written about it already. It was invented by Lovecraft, after all, many decades below. Chaosium's done a LOT of stuff about Leng in many different Call of Cthulhu supplements for one, but there's also a lot of information about Leng out there on the internets.

The wikipedia page is a great place to start looking for Leng stuff.
