[QUOTE="Masaryk the Mad, post: 5377660, member: 99057"] The relationship between father and son is good, but they have little in common. The father had always expected his son would take over the family business some day, but that will never happen, so there is still a bit of tension over that issue. The stark reality of the situation is that the father is not well. I had decided at the beginning of this campaign that he'd die of pneumonia this winter. The necromancer knows his father is very ill and that he won't live to witness the wedding. I have no intention to kill any characters over this matter. That's not fun for anyone. A hoard of skeletons would be very frowned upon in open society. However, there are a number of locations available nearby where such things could be done away from prying eyes. Part of me would really prefer a roleplaying test over a physical challenge. I am somewhat concerned that my other players will be bored while waiting for this one character to do his thing, so I had been trying to think of a situation that could be inclusive of all characters. (I have one player that tends to make everyone uncomfortable with character exposition scenarios, but that is a matter for another thread entirely.) Roleplaying does make a lot more sense, though. A multi-faceted challenge wouldn't be too bad either. [/QUOTE]
