[QUOTE="Zappo, post: 419491, member: 633"] Ok, what about this: The PCs stumble upon a child who fled from his village. They bring him back, and subsequently find out that he escaped because he was to be sent to the evil witch as a sacrifice. They come back, and discover that the villagers must send a children every year or so to the evil witch or she will cast a plague on the town. So they go to the evil witch, and she says that she is forced to consume a child every year or wilt away because of a curse a more powerful witch placed on her. So they get to the more powerful witch, who says that she is unable to remove the curse because the king who paid her to place it would have her killed. At this point, they get to the king, who says that he asked the powerful witch to give him eternal youth, which could only be obtained by stealing life from another witch, because he has no heirs and the kingdom would plunge into chaos the moment he dies, because of five ambitious nobles. The five ambitious nobles each have good alignment and fairly sound political ideas, except that they seem unable to find a middle ground between them, hate each other, believe each other to be evil, and constantly plot. Also, at least two or three of them [i]have[/i] to get the throne because a seer prophetized that it's either that or A Great Evil Will Happen. So the PCs get to the seer to know more about this, and discover that she in fact lied to the nobles, and did so under threath of death by a powerful devil she had the misfortune of encountering. Turns out that the devil was really a fallen celestial who... ...assuming that the PCs don't jump at you at this moment, I think it would be neat to roll everything over to the kid from the village having orchestrated everything. :D [/QUOTE]
