[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7436282, member: 6803664"] Hmm. If her hiding in a suitcase & not eating/drinking or interacting with the party is the best you can come up with.... Then your right, you do need our help. Some ideas: 1) The child is disguised/mistaken as a 1/2ling. Not the worst idea, but as a 1/2ling is only about 3' tall that'd be an awfully small 8-13 yr old human. 2) The PC could be the child of the jungle guide the other PCs hire. She's on the adventure because Dad/Mom is. Or she could "belong" to the guides - slave, servant, ward, etc. Same as above essentially, she doesn't get a say in wether she's on the adventure. And as she's got actual class potential she's very useful to keep around. 3) There are 2 potential child adventurers [I]already[/I] written into ToA. Princess Mwaxanare & Prince Na. Read p.228 & the Kir Sabal section. Might it be possible to re-write Mwaxanare's story a tad & attach it to the PC instead? The princess/PC has left the aarakockra for some reason and is now in Port. In order to see her kingdom - Chult? Something happened to Kir Sabal, Na has been taken to Omu, & she's looking for help? 4) The PCs find her as the sole survivor of another group. Unfortunately this happens when they are too far into the jungle to easily turn back to port. So she'll just have to come along. Good thing she proves to have useful abilities.... If you go with something like this I recommend fast forwarding through the parties first week in the jungle so as not to have the player spectating too long. Don't worry, 1 week won't get them super far on the map, just far enough to discourage turning back. 5) The child is "assigned" to the party by one of the Princes for some reason. [/QUOTE]
