[QUOTE="Binder Fred, post: 6291780, member: 63746"] Hey guys. How about something like this for why most of us now work for the Witching Troll? [LIST][*]We were a bunch of lawless, hardened rogues (everybody so far except Khirynnax?) [*]A B&E raid on a noble's little summer estate turned bad and we ran [*]We would have been wiped out just then if not for the help of a Witching Troll agent who called us out from under an avalanche of blades and torches and into a secret, magical way to the Monster Kingdom [*]Not only do we now owe the Troll for our lives, for which we swore loyalty to him, but we ate and drank their fey-food while over there, meaning (they said) that we now have to return at set intervals or die/age/crumble to dust/sicken/turn mad, DM chooses one of the above or makes up one of his own. [*]Not satisfied with just that, the Troll also set one of his pets in the group too, to watch us and report no doubt (that would be Khirynnax ;)). [/LIST] [B]EDIT=[/B] OR, instead of the fourth one it could be "Not only do we now owe the Troll for our lives, for which we swore loyalty to him, but he whispered fanstastical promises in the ears of each of us in turn, promises which would surely come true if a few, trivial events happened to fall his way..." ?
