Okay here is the situation. We are playing an ongoing campaign. Early on I had a main bad guy picked out and here and there they heard about him. At some point they would encounter an oracle of sorts and be given visions of the big bad guy.
I would have characters made up for them to Role play out the visions. The time has arrived sooner than I would have thought and I don't have all the visions I want yet.
The basic background on the big bad guy. He is an elf that has ended up wanting to kill all humans. He's okay with all the other races (unless they hang out with humans). He has formed an army of all sorts of races except humans. So far from stories they believe he made some sort of pact with a demon or evil god. Why he hates humans so much they don't know yet. Which is where the visions come into play. They would be of various times through out his life.
Ideally each vision should have some form of betrayal, but not totally needed.
here are some rough ideas for the visions so far.
Vision 1: A peace treaty is trying to be formed between elves and humans. War hasn't broken out yet between the 2 groups, but there have been skirmishes. The elf, who as lead some of the skirmishes against the humans is trying to convince his father to not sign any peace treaty with the humans. His sister is on the other side trying to get her father to sign any peace treaty.
Vision 2: The elf is a courtier, his sister is queen, married to a human. He plans to get a group of mercenaries and fight the humans. But first he needs to get his sister out of the castle and any other elves he can. He wants the mercenaries to kill everyone but the elves. The mercenaries who are also human are nothing but rogues and want at the castle treasury. With a way into the castle they betray the elf and enter early killing almost everyone including his sister.
Visions 3: Not sure what I want here yet.
Vision 4: The elf is now an adventurer. After a long final fight, a huge amount of treasure is found. The thief in the party is a human, who tries to steal some of each of the other members share of loot. The elf is furious and attacks the human. any of the other members that try to help the human or stick up for him in any way will also be attacked by the elf.
Visions 5 or 6: The elf is in an adventuring party with a tiefling, some other character and 2 or 3 humans. It's actually a trap. he is leading the humans to be sacrificed to make a pact with a demon, He wants to slaughter as many humans as he can.
So I need some ideas for one or two more visions. They need to have a few different characters so each player can role play through the visions.
if anyone could help get the creative juices flowing again That would cool. I'm off to go watch some movies, maybe get some ideas.
