Non-Player Character

Encounter / Event

Conclusion
The heroes realize that they have been played all along… — The heroes realize that they have been played all along and must confront the true puppet master behind the scenes.
At the table
Open with the Stubborn Farmer pointing the party toward the Celestial Palace and the threat that must be stopped. Use the non-hostile encounter as a breathing space or rumour source on the way up. Save the Lich Queen for the palace climax; the phylactery is the lever the tables give you — no extra creatures required. When the dust settles, the “reward” is a rare trade skill, and the conclusion twist reframes who was pulling the strings.
