So I have this quest line that I want my adventurers to eventually run into that involves finding a shady NPC that works with an underground organization that buys and sells mystic items, rare treasures and oddities, and goods that normal citadels, towns and city laws wouldn't normally allow (AKA, the black market of Ablana (Ablana = the country that the black market can be found).
Does anyone have any cool quest ideas that would be based around this black market theme? (Side note: the black market is run by humans, Tieflings, and some drow with few halflings and Kenku doing the grunt work).
I have already a separate quest line where players meet with a female NPC that is part of and guards a special vault contained inside the black market's mountain bazaar. The vault locks access to the accursed Blood Armory where the players could forge blood-based weapons and armour. To gain access, the female NPC (named Astrid) asks to bring back various very rare items that are normally very difficult to obtain to include a flesh golem. Once everything is obtained and brought to Astrid, she asks the players to give her the flesh golem and the items. She then arms the golem with Blood armoury wears and weapons and has the golem attack the PCs. Once the golem is defeated, Astrid considers the players worthy to enter the blood armoury and gain access to the forge within.
Besides the Blood Armoury quest line and allowing the PCs access to new merchants, other great quests would fit great within the black market realm. Any comments, suggestions and critiques are welcome. Thanks in advance!

"KICK DOWN THE DOOR! KICK DOWN THE D..." (player goes flying back 20ft from force trap on door and falls down pit trap previously activated)
Possibly somebody at the black market is selling some new drug, and it's spreading like wildfire. It's cheap, it feels great, what's not to like? The fact that the seller is using this stuff to turn the populace into mindless vegetables under their control, that's what. The PCs need to find out where this stuff is being made and shut it down before it spreads through the whole kingdom!
Love this idea! Definitely a great quest I know my players will enjoy. I'll be sure to give credit where it's due when the quest comes up. Thanks again!

If you need some inspiration for a drug ring and effects for that storyline I've been working on an Illicit Substance guide. What's there now is just the beginning but it's being updated daily. The link will always show the most current version. PS. Best viewed in Chrome

This isn't a Black Market questline, but something much funnier!
it's been a long time...
