Afridhi Arc Outcomes?

[Havard]

They could win..... Wouldn't that be an interesting twist.

It could be interesting. Especially if the PCs are able to escape and can plan some sort of counter attack...

or...

Something struck me in reading through the OD&D TotF the other day. The line was "This is the island of the frog people, who have been bred by the new rulers of the Temple of the Frog to supply a more powerful force with which to subdue the world." (p45)

I immediately thought of Saruman and his breeding of thousands of Uruk-hai.

Seems likely Stephen would have found some way to step up his breeding program in the face of an Afridhi threat, and maybe found a way to arm them with laser rifles and such. I'm thinking the Afridhi might be in for a big surprise.

Interesting. I assumed the passage meant that the creation of the Froglin by St. Stephen was the army. But the idea of different kinds of Frog folk does make sense. Does he have any reason to go against the Afridhi though?

One also wonders if the Egg would sit idly by while someone else marches over Blackmoor.

David Ross (Blackmoor Gazetteer) speculates that Marfeldt is secretly working to manipulate the Afridhi into attacking the Egg rather than going against Blackmoor. Whether the Egg would interfer in an attack against Blackmoor might depend on what the Egg really wants. Is Castle Blackmoor what the Egg desires, or is it more interested in the Valley of the Ancients?
