[QUOTE="Dreiko, post: 6162228, member: 6748850"] It is my first long-term Campaign I run as DM. Simple session or 3-4 session do not count. So I tried to run 4-5 stories in the background, since I'm not extraordinair in twist-plot-on-the-fly. I really wanted to run an open campaign, where the players have the final reason of how the campaign evolves. The fact that I need the item stolen is not because I do not want them to have it. I also do not want them to feel tricked-by-DM so I need a legitimate and reasonable way to have the item back to the world. Unfotunately the patron has no direct relation to the player's father, and the patron himself trully cares about the PCs. He, however, is a double agent and wants the X for one of his masters, but still he understands the frustration of the players for asking tons of money, and tries to keep both sides happy. The Patron's master, though, cares a little about him - he is the reason the patron became double agent - and even less for the PCs, and he is actually the one that has the item stolen. The problem is that the father himself will not get X out of his safe. I need a seasonable way for someone to know X's location, infiltrate and steal it. Thanks a lot for replies guys :) [/QUOTE]
