List of open ended threats

As the party approaches epic tiers of the game, the question of what EPIC problems will the characters face in their final hours. I have made the liberty of writing down some open threats that are still lingering in the air. It may be useful and conclusive to use any one of these threats in the later adventures. It is even possible to conclude each one of these threats and leave lvl 29-30 as a capstone that will encompass them all in a final epic battle.

It just seems to me, if people want continuity, then reusing older bits will certainly help to pull the negative together. These threats are written as I remember them in MY MEMORY. If some of this is not correct, or if Im missing some threats, feel free to edit this post.


1: Shadowfell- The shadowfell invasion took place less then a year ago, when the dark realm invaded the ground above, spilling forth unholy demons and creatures from all around. Although a ritual was preformed to banish shadowfell, it only waits for a perfect opportunity


2: FeyWild Lich- Even after he was defeated, he may yet become a threat. Hes layer in the feywild has been raided, but he was able to stop the time while the party was attacking him, who knows what he could have accomplished in that time slot.


3: Red Dragon- The red dragon is still alive and must be very angry at the party for killing on of its children. In addition to the damage to the dragons family, a plague broke our around his living area destroying his food. THis may cause the dragon to seek out new sources of food.


4: Undeathly Traders- The four tradesman trapped the party and bargained with them. These undead creatures only survive to seek out and make profit for some unknown reason. They may want to buy out their own souls and that of the loved ones, or they may have a much more sinister plan in mind. In addition, a former party member tried to chase them down. He could have fallen pray and his life may be used as a bargaining chip.


5: Demons- THe party completely destroyed a demon tribe in the wastelands. Even if the demons are constantly fighting with each other, they may notice this act and band together. If not, a greater being might find his pets missing and will send out more evil forces to recover what is lost and pay back for the death of the minions.


6: Eladrin Empire- The party has stolen artifacts from the mighty Eladrin Empire, and one of their worst enemies traveled with the party for a while. This floating warmachine, might decide to get back the artifacts that were stolen, or invade the lower worlds.


7: The Device- Torture device has been left in the elfadrin homeland. Unsupervised, there is no telling to what horrors it may do to the local population.


8: Edilon- Standard unfinished outworld being that has a grudge against the party. Signature moves attacks: wraps sidewalks and plane shifts people.


9: Plague- A horrific decease has been engineered and spread out through the world. The party went to the nexus to deliver the deadly formula to Ebberk, who created this vile evil. As hundreds die, this plague may wipe out large portions of the populations unless something can be done to stop it.


10: Angel’s Wrath- As the party convinced a prominent angel leader to let them into the nexus, he swore to destroy them if they lied to him. The party did exactly that, and instead of saving the world as they promised, spread horrific disease through wolrd. Angel guards must now hold true to their word...


11: Sword of Kas- the artifact betrayer has traveled from a far realm into the world. Its only purpose is to betray its way back to its master. Even the party was unable to withstand its power, and unfortunately for everyone, the sword has escaped.


12: HUGE FUCKING SHARD OF ELDER EViL- The chaos shard is still in the gravitational pull of the world. It is full of evil, with dreadful creatures living on its surface and inside of it. Who knows what will happened when it swings around and circles the world one more time.


13: Altruis- Some party members made deal with this devil. The devil has been making party unto his minions on several occasions. What will he ask of them next?
