Message: <blockquote data-quote="LostSoul" data-source="post: 1672025" data-attributes="member: 386">So I'm thinking about designing a short, one-session adventure that hinges around one of the PC's younger sister getting married.  Well, not really hinges, the wedding is the setting and backdrop/hook for getting the PCs involved.Some info on the PCs:  One is a young woman who left to enjoy life.  She's a free-spirit who didn't want to be tied down.  She's travelling with her "mentor", an elan who lived and taught with her family for many generations.  They're both 4th level psionic characters; a Wilder and a Psion (Telepath).Now, to the ideas I've got about the adventure so far.  The young sister (Kitty - I'm going to base her on Kitty from Anna Karenina) is getting married to her fiance who just returned from the (currently ongoing) Greyhawk Wars.  He served with valour but was injured and is back to recuperate.  There's a twist here: Kitty's fiance is teh dead (most likely), and is being impersonated by a Succubus.At the current point in the campaign (don't care if this is Greyhawk canon or not), Furyondy is deep in war against Iuz and Verbobonc hasn't yet committed any forces.  Kitty and the PC's family is a noble one from Verbobonc, and this Succubus fiance is from Furyondy.  So there's a political angle to work there.I'm thinking that some agency working for Iuz (maybe the Scarlet Brotherhood? if they do work for Iuz, that is) wants to keep the wedding from happening.  They don't want any more ties between the Viscounty of Verbobonc and Furyondy so they can keep the number of troops entering the war.  So they might try to kill either Kitty or her Succubus fiance before the wedding happens.(The fact that "the fiance" (gotta find a name) is a Succubus isn't really important to this adventure.  It's going to be a hook for upcoming adventures, and the realization that the fiance is a Succubus should be one of those nice "whammie" moments.)Now that seems nice enough, if not quite fleshed out.  The PCs go to a wedding and put an end to the assasination attempt.  But I want to put some other kind of twist in there, and tie this adventure into the main story line (which is Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil).  So at some point I want to get some evil and insane Lovecraftian cultists involved.Anyway.  That's what I've got floating around in my head right now.  Any ideas out there?</blockquote>
