I have an interesting plot set up with multiple facets, factions and evil creatures... and no way to connect them, although it has been established that they're linked.
Here's the steup:
- There's a mostly harmless cult to the Leviathan, which is inspired by the biblical leviathan. It's led by a sinister, elderly ex-priest that knew Ichabod and Dennis when they were children.
-Ichabod supposedly drowned in the lake, pushed in by his drunk brother and his borther's friends (all of them, including Dennis and his brother Ichabod were cultists). A year later, Dennis as well as many innocents were killed by Ichabod's ghost.
- Ichabod has no free will, he's a prisoner of a horrible faction called the Practice. The main characters were left at a hospital "posessed" by the Practice by the old man in charge of the cult, he left them a lighter in which there's a mysterious object (they haven't yet cracked it open and I haven't decided what it is). The old man left them there with a mysterious talisman in the shape of a musical... thing (I think they're called keys, they're at the start of pieces or bars or whatever). He also gave them a lighter with a mysterious object inside (or something). An insane doctor called Dr.Drake attempted to join the Practice and re-asserted their influence over the hospital (they had a great deal of influence over it a while ago, but it was lost/diminished over tim). Dr. Drake implanted an eye that could see the practice when in an area under it's control in the day and vice versa into one of the characters. The practice becomes a nightmarish, silent-hill inspired realm during the night. A hand that could use a form of telekenesis was grafted onto another character and a bezoar containing a mysterious key developed in the last's insides. The docotr attempted to ascend and join the practice, attempting to use the three objects in conjunction to extract the key. It worked, but he realized what he had done and joined the heroes before he ascended, helping them escape from the nightmarish world.
- Ichabod was brought to the hospital after people saved him from his supposed drowning. He died at the hospital (or was taken by The Practice). This was before Dr. Drake went mad.
-Ichabod is stuck in a hospital bed in the practice, a ghsotly pawn. The lighter is supposed to be used to free him. Before the characters came to the hospital, they had a dream in which they were Ichabod and Dennis as young children and met the priest in charge of the cult as children. It is implied that, years later, something happened that converted them to the cult, a major event. They also dreamed of being chased through a forest by a hooded man that tranformed into Ichabod.
Any help is appreciated, I may have forgotten details, feel free to come up with everything and anything. I'd appreciate some ideas for an overarching plot involving the practice and the Leviathan, and perhaps some connectins between both and/or motives for each. Thanks in advance, I really appreciate any help I can get!
