[QUOTE="BeauNiddle, post: 3052264, member: 836"] If you want an instant Ally have the old flame show up at their home weeping. Shes just overheard a conversation between BBEG leiutenants about 'Plot Thread X' which she disagrees with and she remembered her old friend / lover / other was now an adventurer and whats him to help. Clear instant leadership. Simple instructions. Instant trustworthy ally (i.e. she can't betray the group during the mission). The party knows what to do for the next few sessions. Once that adventure / side trek is over then they have extra thread complications about how to handle the old flame - do they send her back in undercover to get more info or do they protect her as the BBEG tries to get her back? An important McGuffin they can hide in a deep cave somewhere whilst a living breathing person is much harder to deal with, especially if they have thier own view on what should be happening.
