(eg, you have a quest to recover the widget, nothing very significant.  But when you get inside the dungeon where the widget is you discover someone significant wounded in the dungeon who needs help getting out).- Or the two quests that cross over (eg the iron golem is going to be used to stop the healer-girl getting to the front lines).- And then you could even try the "you can do BOTH these quests at once if you are clever" scenario - eg, if you manage to recover the giant mount of doom you could ride him back in time to make it to the ball...That's just a couple I've thought of.  While it's good to get your players to recognise the adventure and work towards it, sometimes you need to throw them a curveball so that they will grow as players.  But too many curveballs and that becomes the standard, so be careful.Duncan</blockquote>
