For example, in one campaign, the party basically had two options, find out where the immortal queen went, and rescue the prince. I expected them, for campaign reasons, go for the immortal queen first, so that's what I prepared all of the NPCs and other challenges around.And what happens? You guessed it. They went after the prince.Fortunately, I had the kernels of a few ideas of where he was and what sort of challenges they would have to face to find him and extract him. To that I grabbed some stock NPCs, some new monsters I was considering using, some maps from Darkfuries' floorplans, threw in some half baked ideas about a rebellion lead by one character's ghostwalker father and voila! I was ready to rumble. It took a little improvosation, but having a general idea of where I wanted to go and riffing off of the player's actions, it all worked out. As the party snuck into the castle where he was being held, I threw in some comedic interludes where the party catches a guard sneaking into a back room with the noble's daughter.</blockquote>
