[QUOTE="Dualazi, post: 7492000, member: 6855537"] I'd agree with Odysseus that his tasks should primarily reinforce his reputation as a scryer and not simply be humdrum tasks of a more menial sort. Likewise I would have most of his requests play into his baser desires, since that seems to be his primary motivation from what you've told us. Maybe he wants the PCs to pull off an art heist of tasteful ahem, "self-portraits" that some of the nobility have commissioned. This would be even better if you mentioned later about how some of the affected nobles were fearing an incoming blackmail attempt, unaware that they were taken for personal use and nothing more. If you're more into the RP side of things, a more pure option would be to send the players on a series of short gopher missions to simply prep for the night in question. You'd have to be sneaky about it, throwing out some red herrings to make the items seem more important than they actually are. For example, having the players swipe a picnic basket because there's "something terribly important hidden within" and that something important just happens to be good food the dude wanted. Once all the items are assembled maybe the wizard invites the players to join at his favorite viewing spot, giving a chance for more backstory and whatnot. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
