Message: <blockquote data-quote="Foxen" data-source="post: 4364264" data-attributes="member: 71674">Oooh, what a wickedly delicious scenario! Here's a thought... The Ranger is led to believe that he is cursed.  Strange things begin to happen.  He may wake up in strange places, or find valuable artifacts or art pieces owned by rich merchants on his person.  Or there may be a series of violent crimes...committed by a dreaded undead, and the character is given clues and hints that perhaps he at night, turns into this demonic creature. Whispers, dream sequences, and odd rumors that hint at the ranger's curse are spread by strange old sage witch women or giggling childlings....all in a mass conspiracy to trick the poor fool.  One thing leads to another, and the Ranger uncovers some dark secret (at a great cost) to break the dreaded curse of the "soul jar" or whatever.  He must travel somewhere someplace and do XYZ and maybe ABC and even slay something or some beast....and then take it's heart upon the highest point of Skull Rock at the highest peak of the Harvest Moon on the 32nd day of the Umbra Festival...etc. etc. in order to break the curse... In truth...the jar was just that, a jar, nothing more.  The Old Man in the road had wanted to get revenge at an old foe, or wanted XYZ or ABC done (or perhaps he was hired to do XYZ and ABC).  He planted the old sage witch woman, or halflings posing at giggling childlings, or other actors etc. and even planted rumors to and the actual dark secret (an ancient looking scroll planted in an art object he traded with some goblins) to get Ranger to complete the tasks and slay the beasts for him... The irony and horror to learn that in truth, he not cursed by dark magic, but was cursed only by his own naivety and foolishness. Muwhahahhaa. Fox</blockquote>
