Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 1835718" data-attributes="member: 114">Some skill based challenges are always good for low level characters.It would also be good to help the PCs to care about the locals.Perhaps you could have a saucy serving wench in the bar who has a thing for the Elven bard, it can be played up as she has been lusting after him for a long time, doesn't want to see him go. Since the bard is a local lad, maybe he's captured the hearts of many local ladies even though he didn't realise it himself <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />It could be the time of year when they have their pre-harvest celebration - they play local games (taken from Tournaments, Fairs and Taverns since I know you have that!) and possibly drinking games (ditto).The local blacksmith/armourer is the long time arm wrestling champion, takes on all comers (4th level expert, attribute bonus in Str gives him Str 19); will he be unseated by the half-orc barbarian? Will it be done in a manner that earns his (grudging) respect, or done in a matter that promotes hostility from him?Since elves are long lived, have some elderly people in the town who used to play games with the elf when they were kids, and like to reminisce about the games they used to play. Perhaps work in that some of the bards general knowledge comes from the stories he's heard from them in the 100 years or so he's lived in the village.</blockquote>
