I haven't been DMing since University started and with Christmas break coming up I'll have time to get back to my champagne.
We have completed the first 2 books and now and Corvus is effectively now under the inquisition's rule. Before I go into the third I'd really like to get My player immersed into the Iron kingdoms landscape, culture and awesomeness. I want them to feel attached the the world I'm going to blow up (rolf not really:smallbiggrin:). In short I need some filler depth.
The character
I have A paladin of Morrow. He was never good at the books or scriptures, but was a strong devote to Morrow. Strong enough to gain paladin status.
I have a Gunmage of the military. He is a cool, calculating, lone wolf, officer, looking for a way to soar to the top of the ranks. (He'll be taking leadership next level.) From Pinlock to Clockwork, his skill with the pistol is as mastery as a veteran who been shooting a while. (he's only level 5)
An elven cleric of Morrow. He has returned from a pilgrimage and is an old friend of father Dumas. The elf's goal in live is to become an ascended like the twins before him. He is very naive to the ways of man and tends to forget he;s an elf, as he attacks the image of elfs on sight, ie a mirror.
Finaly I have a machinist. A former worker in the church of Crisis, escaped with the players, tech in hand. He loves nothing more than a good clockwork puzzle or pistol, to assemble and disassemble. He is also being pursued for desertion by the clerics.
The story
The city is invaded and suddenly the powers the player had been helping, church and city, are now their enemy. Luckily for them they have made connections to the underground groups, and black markets of the Capital city.
I am thinking of a few good ideas for character building.
Firstly, the Military of Cynagar will not be happy that the Capital of their nation is being held hostage. Before the main army come in, a few representative are going to sneak into the city and try to make contact with their agents on the inside. This is where the gunmage comes in. with his connections to the smugglers, He could be ordered to exert his influence to smuggle in weapons for and army they wanna smuggle in.
This would tie in with the clergy. To keep the masses quiet the inquisition is allowing the clergy to move in and out blessing the people. Though they are inspected
Anyone else see what the party could do here? anyone?
I need other ideas, encounters, or just DM tricks to creating character depth. also I would like to talk with someone else about The Iron kingdoms
