Brainstorming for my game - Come join in

Very interesting! I didn't realize I had made this personal enough that they just want to get the relic out of the hands of the bad guys and are willing to sacrifice greatly to achieve that goal.

This part I especially like. You've got a heavy immersion in the game goin' on there, BSF! That is a cool achievement. Good dming to ya!

Yes, I like that part too and it makes it all worthwhile when the PCs start to step out and be heroes rather than mere mercenaries or treasure hunters. But in all fairness, this group does a good job with heroics first. I just didn't realize I had gotten this particular storyarc under their skin so quickly. I mean, I only introduced it 2-3 sessions ago.

Well it sounds like maybe things didn't progress as far or as smoothly as you'd have liked but that nothing went badly off track. Sounds pretty good to me.

The fact that the PC's are really grabbing hold of the plot hook is a great thing. But if they're offering a big chunk of treasure to the zeppelin crew then I might also expect that they'll make more demands of them than they might otherwise. So beware of that.
