Except one of the ettin heads but that's the barbarian so by being an angry bastard he's roleplaying perfectly. As for the ranger's dad, I didn't mention the whole story to shorten the post but the reason he joined the demon is to save save his daughter's life for ten more years (giving the sister story-time time to raise her newborn brother after the mother dies.) Also, the demon promised not to torture her soul in Hell until the dad guy dies but he needs to serve him unwaveringly. He may be Genghis Khan, but he's been grieving the whole time. He's kinda stuck wavering between depression and anger steps and can't move on. He also has been taunted by the demon in his downtime with illusions of his sister and wife, as well as pretending to be his long-lost son (the demon is on to the PCs and wants to ensure the father doesn't believe he has a son).Regardless, if they kill him he may be left at one HP to realize his son is real (PCs might go easy on him if he's down). But hey if they kill him there's no biggie. If they diplomacy him outright or midway through the battle, the demon (Balor) will come out all hot and bothered that his contract isn't being fulfilled.Also: I love the satyr idea. When I went home thinking about it, I had come up with the idea that she's supposed to be protecting a portal to the Feywild in her local forest, but when she realizes how long she's been gone, she rushes back to find Uncle Owen- I mean the Feywild Portal and the only road back to her friends, destroyed. Besides shirking her duties, there's a mastermind-type villain behind the destruction of several of them, and will slowly influence the plot through me dropping hints, sending random assassination attempts once PCs are a threat...etc. I figured that the polar opposite of her carefree lifestyle is someone who's ODC about their lifestyle and evil to the core. She'll have to certainly take the hard road to beat him. Maybe she'll need a new magical instrument that happens to be cursed (his plan to trick her into using it? HMMMM???)And BoldItalic, if that happens they better make out at some point and then realize they are siblings and their father is a sith lord. But good theory. I thought there was enough about family in this campaign so that's why I was leaning towards the fey portal closing; cutting her off from her family forcing her to take her own responsibility. Thinking about that, I also like the idea of the eternal winter thing. Maybe closing that portal sealed it off from... um... Springtime Energy. or something.Thanks for all the suggestions! (also Bold, ty for that list of plots.
