Heroes of the Borderlands, Part 12


12. Search the Chaos Shrine to find the Shrine records.  (A Shrine this important to Chaos would create several important documents.)  In turn, the PCs will find out who his higher ranking priests are, (this evil priest needs to give monthly reports to and take new commands from higher level priests who administer the Shrine from a distance), plans on how the Chaos Lords plan to take over the Keep, (the Chaos Lords know that the inhabitants of the Keep are a threat to the Caves of Chaos), how the Chaos soldiers gets supplies, and when the Chaos soldiers are paid by a once a month payroll wagon.

(These Chaos soldiers are evil, yet they still need to be paid for their hard labor and to make up for their abysmal working conditions.  This is the reason why the hostile NPCs here are carrying money.  DMs should feature an amoral merchant and their merchant wagon loaded with trade goods; providing a market for the hostile NPCs to spend their money on.  The Caves of Chaos is a place few are willing to make their homes.  Taking over the payroll wagon before it gets to the Caves of Chaos will demoralize the Chaos soldiers, and encourage a few to leave for better opportunities elsewhere.)
