Halfling) is the only place to get it!  So off they go, to the college or Halfling lands, looking for their info.While there, someone looking for "Prince Rock" shows up, and informs him that His Royal Hughness, Prince What's-His-name?, Rock's older brother (and heir to the throne) has been assassinated!  Rock, of course, is now honor-bound to fly home and meet with his parents, console the family... and investigate the murder.If his so-called "friends" desert him, at this point...  Well, with friends like them...   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> So off they ALL (hopefully) go, either to gain, or having already gained, their information, and now to meet Prince Rock's family, and find out why his brother is dead.Of course, along the way, Rock will meet a veritable HOST of Halfling women!  The legendary "Adventuring Prince", all muscled up from YEARS of adventuring, in the company of "Big People", and being treated as an equal...  (Swoon!)Now add in Halflit social customs (especially Knowledge (Nobility & Royalty)), and Rock will be forced to act as advisor to the non-Halfling PCs..."Now remember, you two...  Halflings don't use 'You', we say 'Thou', or 'Thee', if you're addressing a group.  If thee uses 'You', thee will be seen as stuffy, at best, and insulting to the Nobility and up...  And if the King spits in his hand before shaking yours, it means he's making a pact, and is a great honor...  So just spit in thine own, and shake his... and lose the boots!"Etc.  You can make up whatever customs you want, but the point is that Rock should be up on them, and Non-Halflings not.  So he'll be the guide, in these lands.In the end, the PCs should have the info they started out seeking, some adventures in the lands of the Halflings, more knowledge of who killed Rock's brother (and why), and possibly revenge, a wife for Rock, and some more knowledge about whoever ruined Paradise for the Halflings...Feel free to jump in here, anytime, Rocko!   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Now if we knew more about the agendas of "Mark the Mysterious" and "Cyree the Dominatrix", why, we could weave this plot into a Tapestry!   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />PS: And no, thou needest not kill His Royal Highness.  Some players hate that.  A Near-miss attempt on his life is just as good )"Under the circumstances, we thought it best to allow the assassins to think they had succeeded!")  Alternately, a young local girl could suddenly have started manifesting an Athame of her own...  The only other (living) Halfling to do that is... Prince Rock!Too bad for him, if SHE is the assassin!   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
