Oh boy time to jog my memory...
The voice was Flitter's "dad" (biological relationship left ambiguous.) who was waging a war against the Hobgoblin gang for kidnapping Flitter. Flitter was brought here from Dal Quor forcefully in the gang/warload's quest for power. If they could learn how to harness the "star's" power or Flitter's magic directly LA would be in serious peril. Her dad didn't like that one bit, progressively ramping up their efforts.
I was gonna have a battle or two when everyone was asleep, the environment/enemies would keep shifting to signify everyone was in a crazy domain where the odds are very stacked.
Flitter probably would've grabbed the star very soon, I was hoping to have a situation where they end up grabbing it within the next few scenes (or during the aforementioned dream sequence) to have a VERY exciting (explosive) turn of events.
The star is mechanically both Flitter's arcane focus and a sort of supercharger which let me justify letting them cast very high level spells while otherwise not posing a threat. Probably would have a fight where the goal was to shatter/neutralize the star.
I was toying around how the final battle would take place, or even the outcome. (whether it would be in LA, if the group decided to track down the dream-man, etc.)
Other random ideas I had:
A normal human who became a necromancer and caused a massive undead outbreak at a mall, which was quickly becoming distorted to fit a stereotypical eeeevillll dungeon.
Big ol' capitalist company signed a deal with devils, now they're loose in in the big fancy building.
