[QUOTE="David Argall, post: 1019434, member: 4481"] [b]Shadow Mastiff[/b] Pepe, the overindulged son of a noble insisted that shadow mastiff puppy was just what he wanted, and thus just what he got. For some time, this worked out fine [at least as fine as anything involving a spoiled brat can]. The 2 were great pals and didn't cause trouble more than once a day. [The servants hated being bayed at, but at least it gave them an excuse to run off from work for awhile.] But Puppy has grown up and left to find other shadow mastiffs, and Pepe has gone chasing off after him into the Shadow district, which has dangers besides the dogs. For some reason, his parents are frantic to get him back, and the party is hired to fetch. Pepe is entirely immune to baying and other shadow mastiff abilities due to long exposure. With this, and Puppy defending him, he has become the pet of a pack, who are not interested in giving him up. He is not at all interested in rescue [A situation that may well change in a few weeks as he learns the drawbacks of this sort of life, but the party can't wait that long.] Fighting is the simple solution, but Pepe won't like this and he will order his parents to punish the people who hurt his friends. A bargain is possible, if the party has lots of diplomacy, some way to communicate, and some way to get the talks started before the mastiffs get bored or hungry. Kidnapping Pepe is also difficult, but not totally impossible. [/QUOTE]
