Planning (Unther)
{{DM}}
Refer to Dragons of Faerun, especially the section on the church of Tiamat.
Use the adventure, but grant all monsters +5 hit/dmg/AC/saves and double hp, due to some magical effect permeating the temple from the altar below.
The Platinum Knights!
Use various prestige classes to come up with organizations. (Talons!)
