[QUOTE="fba827, post: 844035, member: 807"] In order to make it make sense, you should probably answer the why and then the who and then the how... Possibilities: *the PCs are all related or the last surviving relatives of someone long ago (though this would be hard if everyone is a different race, etc). * Each PC has a family member that did something to the capturer and the capturer is essentially taking the PCs to exact his/her revenge on the other family members (living or dead). Will take some talking among the PCs with regards to their backgrounds to actually piece together the "why" (you came from that town too? your grandfather was at the battle of the kush mountains so was my aunt!...) * The PCs (nor relatives) did not do anything to the capturer but rather, the capturer got a prophecy / information that the PCs _would_ do something in the future against him/her. *Same as above but the capturer actually misinterpreted the prophecy and is not what he thinks.. though, for the time being, he thinks they have something to do with it * They are completely random people who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time - the capturer just wanted someone to test out his new little dungeon or wanted to feed his pet troll in the catacombs or something similar... * blackmail: the capturer wants them to do something for him/her but he/she does not know how to just ask politely.. he strikes a deal, their freedom if he does this one request... possibly holding some other people (NPCs) until the PCs complete the task.
