[QUOTE="akr71, post: 6906767, member: 6801213"] I really like the number of non-combat encounters here, especially the [I]party vs environment[/I] based ones. This one is more of a hook for a sidequest, but whatever. [B]The Young Widow[/B] The party encounters a poor woman at the side of the road. She is dressed in rags and could use a bath and has a tear-streaked face, but is an otherwise attractive young woman. She is visibly distraught - moaning, sobbing and wringing her hands. If the party asks the young woman what the problem is, or otherwise offers assistance, she spins a tale of tragedy and deceit. She is a young widow who's husband died in an accident while serving the Lord and his wife at the nearby manor. Afterwards, she found out that was pregnant - the Lord took her in and gave her a position at the manor. Once her daughter was born, the Lord & Lady took the baby from her and cast her out, claiming the daughter as their own! The widow pleads for help in getting her daughter back. Perhaps the heroes can sneak into the manor at night and steal her baby back - the Lord and Lady do not have more than a couple guards, relying on the locked gate more than men-at-arms. The young widow is in reality a hag and the baby girl really is the daughter of the Lord and Lady. [/QUOTE]
