[QUOTE="coyote6, post: 1925181, member: 1225"] I think the player missed the boat, by not volunteering. Perhaps some young acolyte could have come after the PCs, and begged the Divine Champion to go help the priest. "He's been ill, I don't think he's qualified" or "There's something odd about him lately" (if the priest is hiding something, for example). A second hook may have worked. Or, heck, Phil mentioned player greed -- have some young acolyte run up and ask them to find his friend/sister/brother, who snuck off after the priest, lured by rumors of faerie gold . . . The hint of tangible reward might have budged one or two of the other, non-committal PCs over to the "let's check this out" side. As for it being his job as Divine Champion -- it may be that the player doesn't realize that. The player may not view being a divine champion as having any particular obligations of that sort. Sometimes people have odd (relative to one's own) views about stuff like that, if they even [i]think[/i] about it. [/QUOTE]
