[QUOTE="kigmatzomat, post: 2039511, member: 9254"] Oh, [i]joy.[/i] My campaign is a post-godswar setting. Only the most basic magics are around and the gods have been incommunicado for 4 centuries. My players have: Managed to discover a group of psions that had hid from the world for 5,000 years while trying to figure a way to get rid of the warring gods. With the prophesies of the psions they managed to.... ...bring back some of the Old Gods (not cthulu's old ones, the gods that were around before). More importantly, the Old God the PC cleric follows not only had her pantheon supplanted but the replacement stole her name! The internal/external religious wars were temporarily delayed because.... ....the players unleashed about a bajillion undead from an extradimensional prison. They were trying to stop what they thought was a super-scary necromancer but was really the God of Death waking up. The PC's managed to mess things up and after about a million lesser undead were released the PCs went to get help.... ....And "discovered" a new god of magic unaware of his own potential. And a god of magic qualifies as "help" if anything does so they decided.... ....To venture across the continent to "rescue" an elven people who's evil dragon necromancer emperor had been replaced by some of the nastier undead they released. They went as guards to a mithral caravan (for a trading company owned by the psions) and discovered the Undead Overlords had lost control of some of the Dragon's minions and the outer reaches (where the mine is) haven't been heard from. In classic fashion they start to clear the road of monsters but learn some of those monsters are quite intelligent (if sometimes undead), are happy not being under anyone's control, and in a few cases are religious.
