Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ohillion" data-source="post: 6664460" data-attributes="member: 6798304">This is also something I'm interested in.  I have several generally fleshed out plots that I've GM'd 'on the fly' but I'd love to get them out in print.  I have a campaign called VonBargen's Bargain.  (Any first name here) VonBargen is a dealer in artifacts.  The PCs come across him on the road and he states that he knows of an artifact being held by a witch in the swamps.  Not just any witch, but a witch that has captured his daughter.  If the PCs would be so kind as to free his daughter, he'd be willing to let the party lay claim to the artifact.  When the PCs get to the witch's grotto, they discover the girl is under some sort of spell and is in some sort of trance.  The truth is, the witch tells the group, that the girl is her daughter and the merchant is a demon princeling trying to lay claim to her virgin daughter for whatever foul purposes he has in mind.  She says that she would like the party to lure the demon into the swamp so that she can destroy him and release her daughter from the curse. If they help her kill the demon, she's willing to split the merchant's gold and items with the party (DM's discretion on that bargain).You, as the DM, are under no compulsion to direct the party to choose the course of action they will take.  It's a moral dilemma they will have to play according to their alignment.  Regardless of the outcome, what happens to the innocent girl?  Is she truly an innocent in all of this?  Here's the twist in the DM's role: the DMs focus will be to change player's alignments based on the choices they make.  A good character isn't going to willing help evil beings, but when put in a bind, which evil do they choose?  A neutral character isn't easily going to choose sides as either option is evil...where is the balance?I think this is the stuff of a great story and great gameplay!  I'd love to hear how other DMs might lead a party through this or how DMs might play either side of the story.  Thoughts?  Comments?</blockquote>
