Joey…

In game they had no clue. They thought that was just how the player was because he had etiquette as a skill so he was usually the face of the party. A couple said they thought something was up but worst case was they thought that he was just being a rouge and trying to take a little extra off the top. To try to keep it a surprise when we only have one player doing something kinda important I either speak with them alone or they pass me a note telling me what they are doing and I pass back my response. Best part was that we had a character that nobody liked that much in the party so he was used as the scapegoat for a lot of the excuses. Most of the party had to keep a eye on him while they were in town to keep him from trouble. Got to love the *Kinder Wildmage* as a distraction

I am starting to work on my new 4e campagin, and I want a uber villian, always just out of reach of the players, until a later leve anyway. I will try to work alot of these into the creation of him/her. Hardest part of me, is the waiting game, I have a hard time keeping cool secrets…well secret for too long.

One of the PCs weas the uber villian. Damn that was sneaky. Not all members of a party get along, but damn that is just so evil and twisted it is sweet. Did any of the players see it coming?

Ahh I remember My first uber villan i had he started out in the party. always took credit for the achievements unbenounced to the other player since he was the face of the party he had the looks the Chr. everyone liked him but he had one of his allies hire the party for a mission where he had a trap set up. He caught the party left them for dead, robed them etc…, went back to town and killed his partner to cover his tracks :) now we have a Villan that the party can relate to and really hate. when they tried to use their fame or go back to the towns where they had visted before to look for clues hardly no one would help them cause they were just visiters the might hero was their ex-friend… their friend was the one that took all the credit remember, so why should they help you find their savior :) that was my uber-villan twist.
*we had two ppl in the group that usualy led the party so i took one aside and made him a villan that way it wouldn’t hurt the party when he left*

Yep. I agree. You can’t do everything at once, but it’s possible to combine all this deviousness into one character.
