[QUOTE="fba827, post: 5375444, member: 807"] Air of authority = he'll speak of things and expect that they are right and will be done. therefore, he tells HR that he must prove himself. "Make your way across the plain and defeat the one standing there within 24 hours - begin ..." Thus, he must cover the distance (it might include a skill challenge if you're group is in to those and finds them exciting, otherwise, shorten the time period and just leave it as combat and RP encounters). Along the way - fight a lot of minion-type creatures (probably undead). This could test bravery if the undead are clearly outnumbering. It could also test cunning if there is some way to take out a bunch of them at once (aka if you knock down some pillar, a roof will collapse, taking out a bunch; or if you can corner them against a ledge on the path, they have a chance of the the ledge collapsing from thier weight -- give a couple different types of things that could happen so that the player has some freedom in thinking up his own solutions and not bound by the ones you are thinking up). For the other encounter, this could count as honor or love, depending on HV's choice. The thing at the end that HV must defeat is "RAV himself" (or rather, a simulacrum of himself, by HV won't know that). "RAV" says that he must be defeated if HV wishes his approval. begin a tough fight encounter. at the end of it, does HV kill "RAV" ? (if so, that might be counted as love) or does HV simply knock out "RAV" (if so, it might be counted as honor -- not taking a life when defeat was already confirmed) [/QUOTE]
