Okay.

Long story short:

I have a PC who's Halfling is now a kobold due to reincarnation. He and his twin (well, was a twin before thew other became a kobold) seek out a means to change him back to "himself".

By the book we are talking WISH or MIRACLE spells or something like that. This means 17+ level cleric or wizard, who loses 5,000 exp upon casting the spell.

I decided to try and come up with something "more" then a mere "go get me something" type adventure, but my juices are not so juicy at the moment (something of a rarity in most cases) and I am not coming up with anything I really like yet, so I thought I would turn to you folks.

The game is set in FR, the heroes are leaving the Moonshaes...so the whole of FR is open to them. Logicaly they are headed to Waterdeep, big city with most impressive arcane powers.

The heroes are 10-11 level.

I know I want to use a floating giant castle at some point, as I simply find the halfling v giant, floating castle thing an interesting dynamic for a kobold rouge/master chef and a halfling divine-sorcerer.

So what does a 17+ wizard or cleric need that a 11th level pair of halflings (plus maybe 2 friends) might be able to procure for him?

One of my ideas was to have the PCs find a cleric or wiz and have themn go on the quest and then return with it and before he can cast the spell a greater enemy come in and kills him and takes several things, including what the heroes retrieved. So now they have to go and find another person or something like that. Hmmm...might be better to imprison the HL wiz/cleric and take him and then the heroes have to go free him. Hmmm....

Check out Savage Species.

Look at the Ritual of Change.

If he can find a spellcaster that knows the ritual, he should be able to turn back without the hastle of finding a Wish or Miracle.

Why not make them get someone like a sister, he can go get it because of a Geas spell, or the wizard would be recognized and both would be killed.

Just my 2d

Hi-

Perhaps one of the Wizards guilds in Thay would like aquire a Skyship from the city of Halruaa. The Skyship in exachange for restoring the halfling to his normal self.
Perhaps on the way back to deliver the Skyship, the previous owner contacts the Cloud Castle to go after the Highjacked Skyship. Have a Bruce Willis type of NPC sneak aboard to regain the Skyship and so on.

Maybe the wizard is in another body too?

The halfling have to sneak into the sky castle and recover his "old" body and return it to him so that he can do the same for himself?

Possibly the wizard or cleric is prevented from reaching an important object or person because of a spell like antipathy. Or the wizard has to accomplish a task and lacks the time to get the item that he wants the party to acquire.

Another possibility is that several conflicting organizations are involved, and the wizard going after the item might tip off one of the organizations. So, the wizard may decide to keep his rivals busy with a diversion while the PCs get the item or person he needs.
