Message: <blockquote data-quote="Scorponox" data-source="post: 5613136" data-attributes="member: 93144">I think I will set it up somewhat like this....They already have two drug addicted halflings with them at the moment, because they just got off the zombie island. (Don't ask <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> ) They are asked to return them to their village, since it is on the way to where they will most likely head back.They'll encounter a few random things along the way, like a drug deal about to go sour, a bunch of halfling pickpockets, etc. When they get to the town, the new mayor, who was recently elected, greets them with open arms. He's heard of their exploits fighting pirates,and wants to welcome them heartily. He assigns escorts to the PCs, and tells them to follow them around, and getting them whatever they need. He just asks that they don't cause any trouble, and they are trying to deal with this drug problem as best as they can for the moment. As they visit the town, one of them may stumble upon a house, and coming from the second floor, he or she will hear crying. It is the voice of a female, and she is praying. "Oh Pelor, I feel so helpless. I was only trying to help the village and do good. But now I feel I am being punished for it. Please keep mama safe and that she doesn't get hurt."At this point, if the escorts are with them, they will tell the PCs that this area is off limits, and they should not worry about the crying.I think after that, there are multiple ways the story can go. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />[spoiler]Plot hook will be the mayor actually got elected because he said he would make the narcotics legal. After winning the election, he rounded up all his opposition and put them in prison boats. The boats come in for resupply every night, and they may have to sneak into these boats to find Florica's mother (the girl who was crying.) as well as all the other village elders and those who opposed him. He is, of course, getting rich off controlling the business.The great thing about this village is that it sits on top of a lake, and because the civilians are all on drugs, they haven't upkept the village very well, leaving a lot of holes in the bamboo floors, where people can fall in if they are not careful. Even though these halflings are small, there are a lot of them, which means if a fight breaks out, they can work together to push some of the PCs into the lake, where the hungry crocodiles await.[/spoiler]</blockquote>
