[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 5677869, member: 18701"] I've been casually giving thought to a couple of things in our new campaign story. I'll throw it out here in case anyone has any ideas of their own... The PCs are level 1 and met each other after stumbling into the World Serpent Inn (an inn/tavern that appears randomly in other worlds/planes). When they eventually exited the front door, they stepped into the town square of a town located on a world unfamiliar to them. Long story short; all of the adults in the town went missing, the town became overrun by evil marionette puppets led by an evil Pinocchio, the town materialized into a demiplane, and the PCs were searching for the local Toymaker. Last session, the PCs were overwhelmed by the puppets and awoke in cages in the toymaker's shop. Only, the PCs are now in the marionette's bodies (1 foot tall) while their bodies are being controlled by the puppets. The PCs escaped the cages and are currently searching the toyshop (where animated toys will begin attacking them). Their current mission is to find their bodies and switch their minds again. I feel that there has been a lack of roleplaying opportunities. Most of the scenarios at this point are combats. I created 2 children for the PCs to rescue (which they did) and I created a 15 y/o boy NPC to rescue the PCs (which he did, sorta) by escaping into the sewers. I didn't get to roleplay much with them and I'd like to introduce these NPCs back into the story (the kids escaped and are not puppets because the puppets will not harm children). I'm trying to think of a way to bring them back that will allow for some interesting roleplaying. My first thought is to have the 15 y/o band with other teenagers and act as the guardians for the now orphaned children. I'm just wondering if I can do more with this kid during this adventure. I'll even listen to ideas about this adventure not related to the teenager. I'm just wanting some good scenarios that will offer plenty of banter between PCs & NPCs rather than just rushing in for the fight. [/QUOTE]
