[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8387288, member: 2629"] You have a lot of good story elements already. Connecting them can sometimes take a few beats, but I find that if you spend some time thinking about the situation, fun connection points in the story will occur to you. To help the process along, I ask myself what other forces would be interested in the situation, the location where it happens, or the beings involved. I then expand out my circle of setting and NPCs (often in the direction of other established elements of the campaign) until I come to a solution that connects the dots. You want a weapon forged for the Will O'Wisp (you might want to look up Lantern Archons in older edition mythology - they might be a great fit here) to occupy. Is there a Blacksmith in the region? A tomb of a Fallen Hero? Could the weapon be the bone of a fallen critter with some Celestial tie? Those ideas all spawn a dozen potential pathways to your storyline to me. There are lots of ways to go that might tie together nicely. [/QUOTE]
