Message: <blockquote data-quote="rln" data-source="post: 477703" data-attributes="member: 2843">(I use forgotten realms personalities just to exemplify here...)* One of the aristocrats is both thief and target, under different alter ego's. He may talk to the party to ask for their protection, and use this as an opportunity to steal. He's a master of disguise and may have more personalities. For EXTRA fun, make him schizophrenic, and that his different personalities are not known to his other self.* The local guild is actually not too satisfied with the choice of their hometown as place for the challenge, as they tend to disrupt ordinary thiving and killing for some time afterwards. They will actually try to HINDER the efforts of their "union friends". Perhaps they're not even part of the ILA, which is why their city was chosen in the first place! They'll want to hire the party to hunt down as many of the ILA members as possible, without drawing attention to themselves.* The party thief is able to bluff her way into the challenge by claiming to be the selected champion of a faraway city (who they've secretly killed - or perhaps they bribed the guild of that city to appoint her)* Idea for items: Make it an auction of fairly ordinary items worn by famous people, like some of todays celebrity auctions. Example: The morning robe of a late king of Cormyr, with a minor enchantment to always stay warm; the well-used leather armour of Princess (now Queen) Alusair, one of Elminsters used-up wands of wishes etc. Stuff of dubious values except to collectors and /or fanboys/girls/neuters.* One of the aristocrats will DEMAND the return of the ARTIFACT that is RIGHTFULLY THEIRS. Then again, so will another, claiming that his ancestor won it from the first aristocrats ancestor in a fair duel 200 years ago, while a third one will claim it to be stolen from his ancestral home 250 years ago... ending up in a not-so-noble fistfight, where an assassin might have opportunity to get at his target, or a thief the opportunity to steal said item.* Bountyhunters from different cities may come as well, hoping to catch a prey that always seem to get away from them. They might do more damage than the ILA members themselves.I'll see if I can think up some more ideas...</blockquote>
