[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 8168356, member: 11"] My "Revenants of Saltmarsh" game (two remaining players from second game) spent a lot of time last session discussing the ethics of accepting a mission to "rescue" a young woman in love with member of a rival family and has been betrothed by some slimy merchant by her uncle. The characters share a common religion (it is kind of a early Christian cult) but have very different points of view about how to live out their values. Lamech (the bard on his way to be cleric) wanted to try to help because "love" is important. Yaakov the paladin, on the other hand, hates the rich and sees their power and systems as the source of corruption. "I feel bad for the girl, but this is a systemic problem, and our skills are better put to use addressing other issues." Eventually, they agreed to do more investigation of the politics of the girl's hasty betrothal and secret love, [I]after[/I] they went hunting for "turkey-lizards" in a local sea cave. The strange creatures (really young velociraptors hatched from a clutch of eggs a local wizard's servant was careless with) had been dragging off pets and scavenging in garbage, but recently one had attacked nad gravely injured a local boy. The romance plot is an adaptation of "The Matchmakers!" from [I]Dungeon Magazine [/I]#7 (Sept/Oct 1987). The dino plot is an adaptation of "And a Dozen Eggs" from [I]Dungeon Magazine[/I] #30 (July/August 1991) and written by Randy Maxwell. This is all happening while wait to be given the go-ahead to do the second part of [I]Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh.[/I] [/QUOTE]
