OK, so when I started this AP, I outlined the synopsis and told everyone that they needed to have a good motivation for finding this lost city. I got "gold and fame" from the rogue, "discoveries of a lifetime" for the Bard-pathfinder etc.
The witch said she wanted to find out more about the mysterious patron who she gets her powers from. They've been in Saventh Yhi for a while now (we are towards the end of book 3) and we still haven't touched on it.
Any ideas? Her patron is Elements. If I can weave this into the main story, great! If not, I need to adress it at some point.
The simplest that comes to mind would be tieing it in with the story of Saventh and her fall/victory. Shouldn't take much to alter the printed information a bit to add in involvement from Elemental planes or creatures. Perhaps her weapon was crafted by such an entity or her armor etc.
Interesting. I have been trying to find some kind of creature/entity who somehow ties into all the elements, but having a powerful creature from each of the elements aid Savith can also fit in. The witch is looking to find out who her patron is though, as she uses powers from all different elements, really. Maybe she instead gets her power from four different patrons.
I just came up with an alternative (rather crazy) idea. What if Savith somehow lives on as an entity somewhere, and it is she who gives the witch her powers? It certainly is a good reason for the witch to come to Saventh-Yhi, but I'm not sure what kind of entity Savith should be. A demigod of sorts?
