Potential Plot Hook for Kingmaker (For my players)

Hi everyone,

Sorry if this the wrong forum I'm new to these forums XD My group are about to embark on a Kingmaker game, and two of my players have asked if they can play moles for a villain that would get revealed half way through the campaign turning their two characters into mid-level BBEGs that the party have to kill off (They'd bring in new PCs) at this point.

I've read that the BBEG of Kingmaker isn't particularly well signposted earlier in the campaign and thought this could be a way of solving that issue.

I trust these two players to pull it off, my group are all good friends and pretty mature when it comes to our games so it's not an issue if the idea is bad or not, I just need some help with ideas for how to make it fit.

Thanks in advance

What I've done is have Nyrissa back/influence numerous NPCs who could potentially form a worthy kingdom. Tartuk, The Stag Lord, Hargulka, Darivan, etc. All the "bosses" are being influenced by her to drive to establish a worthy kingdom so she can take it. She does this through dreams and magical mirrors she has gifted to different people (so the PCs can put two and two together as they collect the McGuffins). She doesn't care which want to be kingdom comes out on top, just that the strongest will be ready for her when the time comes.

It ties almost everything together and foreshadows her much, much better.

It might be easier to have them as moles of Irovetti than Nyrissa. I agree with Chris_Fougere with their method of foreshadowing Nyrissa more.

I'm also tying Nyrrisa in to one PCs "Willing Host" Background and another PC's Enigma Muse as a Bard dedication. So she has eyes and ears on them from the very start even though they don't know it yet.

1 person marked this as a favorite.

Thanks for the advice I think I'll go with Irovetti as that works well. I also like the idea of the mcguffins to link them all together.
