Helps set the scene and shows the stakes. - Villagers locked in a burning building that need rescuing. Perhaps having to fight their way to the building first or hold off attackers while other members off the party break down the doors. - Woman being/about to be assaulted/raped needs saving. (Depending on how adult you want to be) - Child crying in the middle of the street, as a stampede of loose cattle or alternately charging raiders on horseback head towards him - A chance to help organise defenders giving them weapons perhaps a chance to barricade a street with a cart or something. - A battle with whoever is leading the assault on the village, and his bodyguard. - Witness the overall commander who it out of reach perhaps on a ship or outside the village wall. - An opportunity to treat the injured for the party cleric, will they use their healing on NPCs they have only just met or save it just for the party? If they choose the latter lay the guilt on heavy when the NPC dies because they didn't help.</blockquote>
