[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 6846980, member: 6787650"] Sure, you could do that, especially at low level. "A group of rogue young male orcs are staging a coup. They've captured several village elders, whom they need alive to vote their leader in as headman, and are holding them separately in eight locations to prevent them from lending moral support to each other. The current orc chieftain has contacted you and asked you for help. He dare not rely on his own warriors in this case so he turns to an outsider. You have one hour to free at least five village elders, and all eight would be better (give you more reward). If it takes you longer than an hour, the rebels will realize they're facing a countercoup and will kill their hostages. You may or may not also see rebel runners from one site trying to alert rebels at a different site--if they get through, those rebels will kill their hostage and retreat." You have to go out of your way as you can see to prevent this from turning into one giant encounter. [/QUOTE]
