[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 1229143, member: 812"] Depends on the brother. If he's crafty and pragmatic, he might chose some sort of goal that would benefit the elf nation (defeat the goblins of the Northern Plains). If he's so focussed on his sister's worthiness he'll probably think up something without much practical benefit (bring me the jade bracelet of the Spider Goddess!). Furthermore, what is the brother's feeling in all this? Does he approve of the wizard? He might choose a completely impossible and insanely dangerous task in the hopes that the wizard will fail and die in the attempt. Or vice versa, he might choose something pretty simple. None of which helps you much in deciding what the task actually IS, I know... Here are some broad ideas: Real Estate - clear out a formerly sacred site of blasphemous intruders - restore a lost portion of the kingdom - drive out unwanted invaders Folks - make peace with the hated rivals - bring down the hated rivals - embarrass the hated rivals - rescue the loved ones - impress the allies Magic - develop a new item - recover a lost item - steal a rightfully held item - transport an item Monsters - slay the beastie, wee and timourous - exterminate the race (drow, anyone?) - render the kingdom safe from - tame Nothing earth-shattering there but lots of starters for ya...
