[QUOTE="Infiniti2000, post: 4986566, member: 31734"] Sorry, maybe I missed a step here. After getting responses here I went off and used the responses and came up with a plan. The document only captures the crunch. :) Basically, the heroes will be in the city. I'll let them come up with reasons why and whethe they already know each other, but they will all be in roughly the same area (at a minimum). They may or may not know anything about the funeral procession (depending on if any of them are elves or dwarves), but will see the wagon come barreling down the middle of the street. A bystander will be bumped out of the way and injured and the wagon will be upon them before they can react. The non-minions and hostage will actually be on the wagon. The minions will be spread out along the street to try and keep others from interfering. For the most part, I plan to place the minions only when/as they are able to act. The heroes likely won't know about them until then, as you might actually expect for normal backup players. The elves I 'statted out' (I love the monster builder, so easy to stat things now) in case things devolve enough to get to the procession and the heroes are somehow accused of wrongdoing. For example, I can see the case where they knock off the main bad guys and try (and fail) to steer the wagon away. The heroes might THEN be accused and if they fight back, they'll have the fight the VERY tough elven force. [/QUOTE]
