Message: <blockquote data-quote="buddhafrog" data-source="post: 5133956" data-attributes="member: 86605">One adventure I'm running right now involved a similar problem.  My PC's set the story where one of the PC's in an elven prince.  His father is dying of a magical sickness and many of the people surrounding the King hope to become the next leader.  I developed the story to also mean that thees people would be well served if the prince were killed and could not claim the thrown.  They are out to get him so he set out to go into hiding until he can come and claim the thrown.  However, he must also win over the people, and to do this, he plans to return with a trophy kill (dragon head or some other ridiculous trophy item).  So that is the immediate adventure hook.This is slightly off from the main question, however.  If the leader is in good standing with his people, why would he adventure?  I'm already trying to figure out the next adventure after he returns to the kingdom....  I can imagine wars that he leads, and during which he might take side adventures for particular reasons, but that doesn't set too well with me either.</blockquote>
