[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 4432958, member: 54629"] Another idea I've just had over lunch: Lord Padraig is aware of Kalarel and Bairwin's cult activities in his town. He knows/suspects that the townsfolk who have disappeared since they arrived have been taken by the cult. However, he has not acted because he has been led to believe that Kalarel kidnapped his son in order to keep him quiet. However, his son was actually sold into slavery by the Bloodreavers and Kalarel was not involved -- so if the PCs go looking for the son in order to free up Lord Padraig and allow him to act, they won't find the boy. If I'm feeling nice, I might let them find him in Thunderspire Labyrinth. It would certainly make for a more compelling hook for H2. If the PCs can at least establish that Kalarel does not actually have his son (and that he was not simply sacrificed to fuel Kalarel's dark ritual), then Padraig will feel free to act on what he knows and go after Bairwin (if the PCs haven't already dealt with him). Minor quest maybe? EDIT: I meant to add that should the subject of missing persons be raised with Padraig but not in direct relation to queries about cults, then Padraig will dismiss it by saying that Winterhaven is a frontier town, so people go missing all the time. It's just a fact of life. Make nothing of it. [/QUOTE]
