Howdy folks,
I've got a decent concept for a villain that I need some assistance fleshing out, we're currently using the Iron Heroes rule set in the Forgotten Realms for play (it's a modified 3.5 Edition System) but that shouldn't matter too much because I can probably work with whatever suggestions you have.
Here's the scenario, my players encountered a Young Green Dragon in the woods of Cormanthor who through his kobold tribe, beat the ever loving crud out of my party so that when they encountered him (they refused to backtrack) they were at a severe disadvantage.
The Dragon offered to spare their lives, if they'd be willing to act as agents in the Chess type game that the Dragons play (I can't recall the name off hand). Anyways, the dragon requested that the players remove an agent of a rival red dragon from play, and since none of the players speak draconic, his common translation was "retrieve the stone man" which the players took to understand as a statue.
I'd like to have the "Stone Man" be an NPC who has a magical Stone Hand, but he is either an above board merchant or person of nobility, or a criminal that operates a network.
The players are currently in Cormanthor, and I've let slip that the "Stone Man" operates out of the mountains to the West (these could either be the Thunderpeaks (making the city of Tiverton a good option) but I could use the Storm Horns in Cormyr as an option as well.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
