[QUOTE="Mighty Halfling, post: 5385452, member: 13134"] Have the group, regardless of class, be approached by the local thieves guild. The guild offers membership, which includes access to an alchemist, magic items, travel papers, maps, library, etc. If the PCs accept, the guild wants a portion (5 to 10 percent, I'd say) of their haul out of the Goblin lair as a membership fee. If the PCs refuse, the guild starts "agitating" the party and their family members. One day, the farm fields are found trampled. The rogue finds that no place in town will offer him services -- He's totally blacklisted because the shopowners fear the guild. The Wizard's father's shop's supply caravan never arrives. One of the players is approached by a townsperson who says they have accidentally dropped a valued item down one of the town's wells, and they need help retrieving it.
