Here's the deal. I live in china, far from my DnD players. Moved here two years ago without thinking about how it would affect my gaming life. anyhoo. every August I go back to Canada and we play a one night gaming session. around 8 hours of playing time. I've played many Dark sun games, including dragon's crown with these guys, so they're familiar with athas. they've never been to Raam however. I'm planning a session to remember. Here's what I have so far.(bear in mind that in my Dark sun world, dregoth has not yet put in motion his plans. there are dray in Raam, but for this adventure, we won't be seeing them.) Raam. The city is in turmoil. The two factions with the biggest level of control and power is house M'ke and the night runners. however, the night runners' powers have slowly risen as house M'ke's has slowly declined. Now, the night runners planned to tip the scale even more by attempting a coup in house M'ke. the assassination of it's leader and it's heir, Truvo M'ke and Rogil M'ke. Their goal is to create the first elven city in thousands of years. Somehow, information leeked,(a spy inside the night runners) and house M'ke is aware of it. Well it's all out war now. other factions, namely other merchant houses, would be either for or against it. Shom, with its friendly ties with the night runners will offer help, while some sorcerer kings might not like the idea of a city state governed by elves... The PCs are in the middle. At the begining, they should be given a choice as to which side they want to join. depending on that, there'd be 4-5 major plot twists, and then the finally, with either side overpowering the other. My plan is to have the PCs in a situation where their actions help greatly in this. I have four Pcs, and although I'm still not sure what kind of characters they'll be making, two of them are elves for sure. I'll arrane it so they all have good reasons to join either side. they'd have contacts on both sides. Things to consider: -The wind sickness. 10% of the population has it, and it's contagious. spreads by contact. I want to use this in some way. Maybe one of the PCs or someone dear catches it. -Korno, a lvl9 gladiator, rikus wannabe. I think maybe using him as an outside help. He commands a small band of men able to fight in a battle. -The shadow tribe. I think that house M'ke would hire them just because they're the night runners' enemies.... good if the PCs join the night runners... I just need fresh minds and idea to help me out. it needs to be fast paced because of time limits. that's why only 4-5 scenes, because combat is what really takes time out of a game.
