[QUOTE="ThomasBJJ, post: 76358, member: 993"] Ok, I didn't read anyone else's responses, so sorry if I repeat an idea. Have some family members point out that the dead father used to travel with someone in town, maybe more than one guy in town, who are now respected city-folk. Dad had many adventures with his old buddies, but eventually had a serious falling out with them. If the Pc's approach dad's buddy and show him the map, he knows nothing about it (but a real good sense motive check will prove otherwise). Soon thereafter, hired thugs start trying to get the map. Dad's buddy sent them. There must be something valuable for him to want it so bad. PC's may find out thru family or even associates of dad's buddy another former member of dad's old adventuring party live in another town. Pc's could go look him up, he could direct them to where they need to look to find the locations on the map. Maybe he knows whats there, maybe not. Mabe he only knows that dad and buddy ended a lifetime of friendship over that map, but he couldn't figure out what it was about, and they didn't want to tell. PC's can now go try to solve this mystery, all the while being shadowed and ambushed by buddy's men who are trying to recover the map, or at least follow them to the spot. my .02 cents [/QUOTE]
