Then there's a little time passing montage, as one pc (the lord's son) comes of age. Using some clues picked up from the night of the attack and then some knowledge from npcs I'm going to drag them into a side plot I've posted about regarding a devilish cult. But in the meantime, I know they'll get frustrated unless they're also able to pursue their initial goal. So far I have them learning about a last minute change in the guard's roster made by a captain related to a political opponent of the father's. (perhaps they just learn about the change of the guard and have to find and question the guards who were on duty) . That will lead them to the captain of the Dawn's Watch, who will lead to the lord who was bribed/convinced to betray the father. Eventually they will track it back to the Evil King (I do hate calling him that) and learn it was all a plan to get a certain item the father had in his castle. From there, it will be some big "stop the ritual" type adventure, but that's down the line. I just want to know enough to keep them interested now. Trit</blockquote>
