So I am DMing a group of 5 level 7 players. They've discovered these Ruby crystals inbedded in Gargoyles eye sockets and discovered that upon shattering they turn to a pool of blood like liquid.
These are Shards of Rage. They do not know this yet and the party is chasing down leads for the Band of Ruin. A gang of marauders. Who's led be a deranged Hercules type figure. Again they know none of this. I'm just wondering how to bring this to light in am intriguing and fun way for them to roleplay.
I was thinking that they discover the crystals are being used as an experimental catalyst to make their marauders more potent. And using it like hyper steroids. Probably mimicking a Barbarians rage.
And as for Hercules, I'm trying to decide between a stern, yet forceful figure. Or a **** and boasting one.
Any input or suggestions is appreciated. Also keep in mind this "Arc" is only meant to take them to level 12 or 13.
