[QUOTE="CrimsonCarcharodon, post: 7505215, member: 6904790"] I think you've got plenty of material there in place ready to react to your players' actions on the fly. Just keep in mind the relationships between the NPCs. I would definitely not have this young woman have a child, and I seriously wouldn't have that be a kind of reveal for the PCs after she's dead. It makes the whole session, and any moral dilemmas they might have had regarding letting her die, be a waste. It's putting these good-aligned characters through an emotional wringer, all for a "gotcha!" ending. As a player, that would bother me. I do have an idea regarding the bloodlines. Dragon's blood. Maybe there's a ritual out there that allows you to infuse a subject with the blood of a willing dragon. The subject gets cool dragon abilities, becomes part of that dragon's extended family, and most importantly, the blood is no longer pure in regards to this evil god. Then the problem becomes finding a willing dragon that's not going to be all super evil in its own way. And hey, maybe you found a couple dynasties of dragon-blooded sorcerers along the way. The whole priest thing could still work, but he needs a solid motivation and I definitely wouldn't include the whole "taking advantage of her innocence" bit in one of my games, but that's a matter of personal preference, I suppose.
