Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gilladian" data-source="post: 6474984" data-attributes="member: 2093">IMC the PCs will be passing through the baronial home of one PC. She is the youngest sister of the current Baron. The party is just passing through, and will be staying nearby for a week or so while they attend the funeral of their cleric...Anyway, while the PC is visiting, she is going to learn that her older brother, the Baron, has recently met a young woman, whom he rescued from a group of half-orc bandits who, she claims, kidnapped her while she was traveling with a small band of her people (she claims to be of the "Shalani", a gypsy-like folk IMCW). The rest of the group, she says, were slain, and she was taken captive.Now the older brother/Baron is prepared to marry this young woman. Now, it is quite possible that everything this woman says is true, but it is also possible that she's a liar and up to no good.Background: 5 years ago, an evil army invaded this area, nearly destroyed 3 counties on the north edge of the kingdom. This particular barony was one of the hardest hit. The evil army was mostly orcs and half-orcs, goblins and kobolds. They were led by a trio of dragons, all of whom were slain (previous adventuring parties!). Nobody around here has the least idea, but the evil army was ACTUALLY an assault by an evil lich, who used the invasion as a springboard to get himself into position to be the next ruler of the kingdom (he has possessed the body of the remaining heir to the throne). Now, I'm not sure who this young woman is. Could she be someone on the lich's team? Could she be an enemy of his (good or evil)? Throw me out some ideas to work with! Who would you have her be? I am not looking for a MAJOR campaign focus YET... if the PCs disrupt the wedding by revealing her nefarious purposes, fine and good, or they might get an inkling that she's someone who could be an ally later. That would be fine too. Or they just get really creeped out and run away. My party is good at that! Final info: this is a 5e game, and the PCs are currently going-on-fourth-level, so they should be 4th when they meet up with this situation. Not that it matters all that much... I'm thinking this is going to be MOSTLY social/roleplay.</blockquote>
