[QUOTE="GiggaLord, post: 7031973, member: 6873683"] Hello everyone! I'm having a little trouble finding a good hook for my campaign, I don't know where to start, so here is what I got so far. Two nations, nation A and nation B, have five years prior to the beginning of the campaign been forced to sign a peace treaty by the Archon (Paladin-Pope) Very fragile peace treaty, the nations are still at each other's throats. PC's find themselves entering a town previously controlled by nation A but during the war was taken over by nation B. Majority of the villagers are still loyal to nation A. The PC's arrive just a day before the wedding of the Baron's daughter to one of the King of nation B's sons. There are people from all around traveling to this town to take part in festivities and of course, trading. The day of the wedding, the town is bustling, lots of stuff going on, music, dancing, feasting. More important to notice, there are several people drawing crowds spewing hate speech towards nation B and the king of nation B. The crowds seem to be riled up. During the wedding, the angry crowds storm the wedding, in the confusion, the King of nation B is murdered, the Baron is wounded, and the Baron's daughter is kidnapped along with the Prince. The rebellion of the townsfolk is quelled, but the men seen kidnapping the Prince and daughter were seen fleeing in the direction of the mine just north of town. My Problem: I don't have anything that would make the PC's want to go after them. I may just have writer's block at the moment, but I can't think of why anyone there by happenstance would want to help. Any and all advice is appreciated, and thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
