The "mid lvl Realms" game was dealing with the fallout from the high level Realms game....and by fallout I mean the goblinoid nations taking initiative and storming into the depleated lands and conquering all that remained.
Interesting stuff & I had fun watching the players reel in terror at the thought of a kobold raiding party & hobgoblin paladins.
However the main antagonist of this invasion is The Black Claw who is also directly linked to the events in the epic lvl game (I kinda like to tell a story from a few different viewpoints so you get to see how everyone is effected).
The main invasion force are essentially being forced into servitude by magical means and with that being said that brings up one side of the story that isn't being told....those being forced into war.
Before October is over I'm going to run another Epic game (that was delayed due to moving/auto accident/life, the universe & everything else) which depending on the heroes success could free some of the forced warriors from their bindings and let them act on their own accord again.
How would the goblins,kobolds,hobgoblins,bugbears,orcs,ogres react to being freed & now remembering that their tribes/communities/clansmen were enslaved by an outsider and forced into bloody combat with the remanents of the Cormyrian Purple Dragon Knights & War Wizards over the land.
How would they act & what would they do in return? That is a question I think I'm going to pursue in 2007 with the Realms group I run for if they are interested.
