[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 5377819, member: 92511"] The brother teleports the party to the base of Mt. Gorge. Upon the upper slopes/peaks of the mountain grows the Titan's Rose, a particularly rare and beautiful flower of icy blue petals with streaks of metallic-looking silver running through them. "Ascend the slopes of Mt. Gorge and retrieve two Titan's roses. I require one for my research and the other, you can offer my sister as a gift." "Physical Test": Climbing the mountain offers multiple opportunities for skill challenges of various kinds as well as wandering monster combat, so your other party member shouldn't have a chance to get bored or feel ignored. "Intelligence Test": Naturally, when they reach the top and find the flowers, they also find why they are called the Titan's Rose. Because there's a titan that lives up there in the cloudy peak. You could throw this few ways: 1) he's good and has a nice chat, maybe a riddle, for the PCs and he'll give them the flowers they request, thus generating the intelligence test. or scrap "the test of the mind" and just fight s'more :D 2) The titan is evil and needs to be physically defeated to gain the prize. 3) The remnants of a massive stone domicile are apparent, going INTO The mountain, of course ;) (the resting place of "the titan") and the characters can explore there for a bit if you like...or face some unexpected evil/monsters that have taken up residency in the high secluded tomb. Using some trinket given to them for a return teleport when they've completed the task, they are returned to the necromancer to bring him his flower...."Excellent. You've completely the first two parts of your test." "First parts?!" sez the PC/party. That's when the brother and the PC dual and the letter is written, to test the PCs honesty and integrity, a test of the "Spirit/Soul." Passing the three should be adequate proof for the brother that this would-be hero has what it takes to woo his sister. (Obviously, somewhere down the road, the PCs should encounter some villain or monster or evil that involves the titan rose as a component - the results of the brother's "research". ;) Have fun and happy romancing. --Steel Dragons [/QUOTE]
