There's a reason I'm asking this, and it amounts to saying "I done screwed up". So, moving on from that...
My group right now is basically about to get involved in Drow politics, sort of. Basically a LE Drow came in and took over things hundred years ago and has been slowly reshaping the society along what he wants, which is basically Italian Fascism, minus a few things. Oh, and the former matriarch/high priestess of Lolth was booted, and the church of Lolth is being purged slowly. This of course didn't sit well with the former matriarch, who is conspiring to take out the new head of state, and hired the party to spy on her allies, and kill/blackmail them if they aren't loyal. Yes, the party is disguised as slaves to do this.
Anyways, I'm having a hard time coming up with events for them to run through. This kind of story I think lends itself to a hub-based format, but I cann't think of much to do from the hub. There are a few members of the former matriarch's group to run through, and a few other side events that they can work through (like trying to capture items/monsters before the new head of state can get them), recon on the head of state before the final attack, and the final attack itself, but that's about all I can think of and it seems kind of flat. I was hoping some folks could make some suggestions for other events.
Tl;dr: ideas for a campaign that involves spying on and assassinating drow aristocrats to overthrow a LE drow state.
