[QUOTE="DemoMonkey, post: 8133751, member: 6803203"] The player characters are prophesied chosen ones, destined to save the world. The "innnkeeper" is part of a secret cabal of Divination Wizards who have taken it upon themselves to provide the training and challenges the heroes will have to face to ready them for their destiny and saving the world. After the rats, that innkeepers cousin - exactly the same person but with a mustache - shows up as a caravan master and asks the PCs to guard his wagons. And then - same guy, but in a cloak with a beard and a limp - is the grizzled veteran who tells them about the nearby lair of Kobold raiders. (The ethics of how the cabal captured, charmed and placed the kobolds to be cannon-fodder for the PCs is for later in the story...) The Nobleman who hires them to "rescue" his daughter? The Bard who sings the tale of the nearby young Dragon that catches their interest? The rogue Warlock casting a terrible summoning that they are somehow just in time to stop? The legendary-but-never-seen insane lich who constructs a terrible trap-filled Tomb of Unpleasantness that tests them to their utmost? All part of the cabal. [/QUOTE]
