[QUOTE="RChandler, post: 4062642, member: 54696"] Hi, Alexander, Here are a few random sub-plots. I don't know if they'll help you, but here goes! * An ogre is chasing a young woman through the woods. She is possessed by a demon, and slaughtered an entire village of people that was under his protection. He is ashamed of his failure and wants nothing more than to destroy her. She is toying with him. * A young sorcerer with amnesia wanders into town. He's capable of some low-level magic, nothing spectacular. But his left hand is deformed, and resembles a bird claw. He's actually an intelligent monster (such as a dragon) that is being punished for disobeying its master (an extremely powerful lich). The lich is trying to find the creature so that it can be transformed back into its normal form and resume its duties. When its memory is restored, there's no telling how the creature will respond. * A merchant hires the party to safeguard a caravan through the wilderness. The caravan's chests are full of human bones. A group of necromancers in a far-off swamp pay the merchant handsomely for these, which they use as spell components. A group of bandits (not necessarily human) has discovered this arrangement, and wants to steal the bones, which they'll then sell to the necromancers for a profit. They'll try to ambush the caravan en route. * A princess is abducted from the citadel on the eve of her wedding. The royal family has no idea that she is secretly in love with one of her guards, and that the two have eloped. The princess has no idea that the guard has been bribed by the rules of a neighboring kingdom. The two of them are traveling through the woods, and neither one realizes that they're being pursued by a ravenous manticore. The king has sent his best trackers after them, but the enemy ruler has sent a group of mercenaries out to intercept them and secure the princess. Good luck! -- Rafael [/QUOTE]
