[QUOTE="kitsune9, post: 4922023, member: 18507"] 1. Cultists attack the PC's in attempts to retrieve the unborn/born child for their foul rituals dedicated to Lamashtu and/or Dagon. 2. The birth of the child is immediately followed by earth-shaking stuff such as an earthquake, a freak storm, the land covered in darkness, etc. However you want to run it is up to you but the child will either be a herald for good (it was the "evil" gods throwing a fit) or evil (the child is foretold by such omens). 3. Ignorant villagers mistake the birth as one of the above and they think by burning the house with the mother inside will keep the evil spirits away. Those silly ignorant commoners. The PC's are also inside when they notice the house on fire. 4. The child dies during birth, but because of the good heroes' deeds, a representative from a good god grants a resurrection. This is just a roleplaying drama event. 5. The PC's enemies will use the event as a chance to get even, attempting to cause as much damage as possible before being driven away. 6. A dragon/demon/djinni/angel/whatever suddenly shows up and wants the child as part of a deal they made with the mother. She carries a secret that she was mortally wounded a long time ago and given a second chance at life. Obviously the good creatures are more willing to bargain for a service in exchange for the child whereas evil creatures are likely to tell the PC's to roll for init. Happy Gaming! [/QUOTE]
