[QUOTE="RobShanti, post: 6165366, member: 82745"] Okay, here's what I'm thinking, based on some ideas suggested by friendly members of the FATE Yahoo!Group: An evil dragon has kidnapped the princess's parents with demands for all the gold and magic (arcane or faerie) in the kingdom as ransom. Do they hand it over or try another solution? Complicating this is that the kingdom of Human subjects is being pestered by Goblin hordes (well...10 goblins). The PCs will have to negotiate a peace between the two communities: the Humans want to use the land to farm...the Goblins have used it to hunt for centuries, and a few Humans have been accidentally injured. - the PCs will have to get the Giant Eagles to help them find the Goblin lair, but the Eagles need help with their own Troll problem - When they finally find the Dragon lair, it'll be a Riddles-in-the-Dark scenario (Bilbo vs. Gollum in The Hobbit), or they'll have to release the Dragon from an ancient curse (perhaps curing the dragon from a lust for gold and magic), akin to removing the thorn from the lion's paw. The setting may end up being a "patchwork" geography, depending on how chaotic the kids' ideas are for the setting. Other subthemes will involve: Exploration: finding a new pass through the mountains because the old one was destroyed by an earthquake Rescue: .... Mystery: a mysterious forest has appeared overnight (what's up with that?) Challenges: crossing rivers or other natural hazards, although wild animals and unnatural beasts may play into it if the kids want Anyone have any other ideas? [/QUOTE]
