[QUOTE="Slapzilla, post: 3729919, member: 52781"] Don't worry about rewards and such. Instead, try to drop hooks for them to bite on. 19th Century adventure suggests Egypt, and Deep, Dark Africa to me. As well as the usual sort of treasure, (just randomize it as the treasure is less important) how about they find some sort of tablet in a very modified heiroglyphic style that is a previously lost piece of the Book of the Dead (Maybe it gives possessor +2 CL to necromancy, and when used as part of an altar, creates an unhallow effect and gives a profane bonus to Craft: Alchemy +10). When collectors see it they freak out as this style is reminicent of a fabled lost empire created and hidden in the central continent by an early Pharoh to protect the bloodline. Other finds from the treasure haul (cloak of whatever made out of cheetah skin, Zulu style tower sheilds and warmasks, designs for elephantine golems with built in battle towers, etc.) should suggest a particular landmark in sub-Saharan Africa. Now they've got a reason to trek into a Jungle to find a lost empire with necromantic leanings, dealing with monsters, avoiding/placating/aided by natives, dodging assassins sent by the unscrupulous collector and tomb raiding. Maybe the society still exists in some form, waiting for an answer from Napoleon. [/QUOTE]
