[QUOTE="Zogmo, post: 3207776, member: 17682"] Ok a few more. 1) The house could be a facade for a demonic temple and the daughter is it's high priest. The old lady is a shut in because she is actually a captive. Once the temple is taken down and the old noble lady liberated she will gladly give them the book as a reward. Exposing the temple and liberating the old noble woman will make them heroes in the new city too for exposing the evil that the authorities were trying to discover for a long time. 2) The dogs are actually her son and husband who have been transformed somehow and the daughter and old lady are using the book to try and create a potion to turn them back. The guild doesn't want them returned from dog status by the old lady because of information her husband and son have about the guild itself being involved in something nefarious. Hence the guild wanting the potion book out of her hands. 3) The old lady turns out to be a powerful wizard and easily catches them sneaking into her place. Even the guild doesn't know her true identity and only want the book because they believe the old lady doesn't know what it really is (a spell book) and they think it'll be more use to them than her. She realizes they are being blackmailed and asks them to help her turn the tables on the guild. Double agents of sort. Plots from here could be many. 4) Having the dogs be something more like werebeasts and have one of the PCs bitten. Of course they won't realize this till after the first transformation. Moo hoo ha! :] [/QUOTE]
