Hello all! I'm looking at starting a campaign where the PCs start working for an Eldritch abomination, and I need ideas as to what EA would want. I'm looking for more than just "kill a thing", I really want to get creative as to what this EA wants. Any ideas?
Taking a page out of H.P. Lovecraft: servants, power, food, worshippers ( who can provide resources, even if it's just the power of their beliefs ), freedom from being bound ( if they are ), freedom to access domains that they are blocked from, etc.
I'd really recommend reading a double fistful of H.P. Lovecrafts short works for this. It would really help you get a good horror tone. He's not the only way you can approach it, but it's a good classic approach. And it's a great source to crib ideas from :)

Gather the Five Fragments of the MacGuffin, establish a cult in its name and use it to infiltrate the highest eschelons of government, free it from the chains that bind it, things like that
