[QUOTE="Methinkus, post: 86100, member: 3248"] I was in a similar situation once with a group of mine. It was in some module that I bought for $2. A mage falls in love with his queen and confesses, she very gently turns him down and announces that she is pregnant with the kings child, so the mage runs off, takes control of a tribe of orcs and develops a spell to change the heredity of the baby. He waits for it to be born, kidnaps it and runs off again. Enter the PCs. They ride off to capture the evil mage and eventually fight there way into his stronghold where the mage confronts them face-to-face, with the child in his arms. He reveals the whole story to the PCs, colored to make him appear to be the victim, and they ask for a moment to mull over their decision. The mage more than happily indulges them and moves to a far corner of the room to play Patti Cake with his precious little son. The players discuss the issue in character for a few moments when the rogue announces his intention to end the whole controversy be killing the child and framing the mage, saying that “they can afford to raise him later, the brat IS a prince after all,” To stunned to reply, the other PCs watch as he yells “HEY YOU” to the mage and hurls a dagger at the baby, killing it. Fierce battle later they are left with a dead mage no one cares about and a baby that naturally doesn’t want to be raised. They were forced to leave that kingdom as swiftly as possible. There was a lot wrong with that adventure. [/QUOTE]
