Hey, so I'm running a Ptolus game using 3.5 and the adventure path in the back of the book. Normally, I'd cook my own thing, but I'm teaching two new players. All's going pretty well. I'm helping a Wizard build their character as we play, as it's her first time with TTPRGs. Likewise, my Dragon Shaman is learning the ways of the not being an asshole tied to your alignment with his first character. All told, it's going pretty swimmingly, and no one in the party even realizes that the druid is an Aasimar. So, mission accomplished, I guess?
But the real problem is that I'm going to run the druid and our monk through a side-quest, since the rest of the party has complication on our usual game night, but I can rouse the two of them. I'm going with ye olde haunted mansion, and I want to introduce a recurring villain in the form of a necromancer who hires and tags along for the mission. But I'm having a devil of a time figuring out how to handle the switch from ally to antagonist. Anyone have any adivce, podcasts, writeups or stories to help me out?
