We read it, it's simply that the Harpers are going to be a major headache. A plot where the Harpers ask you to eradicate the slavers in the Copper Coronet, the Slaver Ship, and the Guarded Compound is simple enough, but the complications that arise as soon as the Jaheira possibilities are considered just throw a massive monkeywrench into the works. As we all know this, any idea that mentions two rival factions of Harpers sparks an automatic 'pain!' reaction. It might actually be easier if we ripped up Jaheira's quest and romance by the roots and re-wrote them in their entirety (so that they actually worked this time), and in such a way that left room for using the Harpers as a path to Spellhold, whether Jaheira was in the party or not. [/QUOTE]Well I'm glad that at least someone had the decency to actually give me feedback on what I had come up with. I mean, we've been talking about the Harpers almost the entire first two pages of this topic, and all of the sudden when someone posts a detailed idea of how/when/why everyone suddenly loses interest? At least give me something to fall back on. No offense to anyone personal, I just felt the need to rant about this one thing.
As for you idea with Wizard Slayers, all good and well Six, but why would Athkatla need
another faction inside the city besides multiple temples (in various alignments), a new upcoming religion (Unseeying Eye), the Shadow Thieves, the Harpers, slavers, and what more you might find on the streets. Athkatla isn't the only city in the whole wide world of Faerun and I sure as hell can't remember that many factions in Baldur's Gate (a city bigger and noteworthier than Athkatla, at least in my opinion).
Other than that, the Wizard Slayers are of course a valid adversary to the Cowled Wizards. But (and that's a big but in this whole story) you'd have to come up with a
damn good reason for both the Cowled Wizards and the Shadow Thieves not knowing anything about them. The Shadow Thievs would not tolerate
anyone new on their turf (certainly not a faction whose quite openly against the ruling faction when it comes to magic), and the Cowled Wizards, being the law upholding magic users they are would certainly have means to find out about a Wizard Slaying Guild in the streets of Athkatla.
I have some serious doubts about this whole idea, but if you have some sound explanations, please let me know, via this topic or otherwise through a PM.
