The way my party interpreted it is that the Archcountess wanted their power for personal gain, Sethic wanted it to be loyal to the queen (and personal gain). I made sure that Sethic was very open to the PC's. He gifted them what they needed and never double crossed them in the slightest.
I really played into the Mafia like aspect of Sethic. He was an "honorable" thief. It was business, not personal. Etc.
Has anyone had a PC be bold enough to try and do the bard thing with the Queen? Shes young and single after all. Honestly I half feel like it's an oversight to not give us any info on what her reaction would be to a PC flirting with her. Politely and with reverence of course.
Hi fellow DMs,
I am soon starting Part4 of the AP and would like to get some inspiration from you.
My idea is to let the Players start in Egorian as "nobodies". Their Patron Fex is dead, they have no network in Egorian, etc.
Before Sethic or Vasvion take notice of the chars, they have to do some extra work to make themselves known.
Ideas so far:- Participate in a Pit fight
- Smaller parties/events to make contacts and apply some social skills
- Support an investigation by the InquisitionMy group is a Withch, a Barbarian, a Fighter(Archer) and a Cleric of Asmodeus. Maybe you have some more ideas what could be a challenge for each char to achieve?
Thanks in advace.
Daniel
A pit fight, or better yet a full on tournament could be really fun. My GM put us through a tournament in a different AP and it honestly ended up being one of the highlights of the campaign. Gives you a chance to toy around with builds too. The AP even gives you quite a few things to work with. The Iconic Villians might form a rival team.
