[QUOTE="AddizAbeba, post: 3415267, member: 14283"] What I read here is a nice backstory. What you now need is the adventure itself. What is the despairing, hating spirit of the forgotten priest up to? Is he starting to torment the merchant? Or is it something bigger? Is it only nightmares? And then, you should not forget that the backstory has to slammed in the PCs faces if you would like them to ever find it out, because PCs are usually not interested in the reason why the place is haunted; I mean, they will not be looking for the reasons unless it ties in fully with the way to solve it. So maybe the only way to solve it is turning the merchant's home back into a temple of that same deity. Then the deity could give away (+1 to stat) blessings when the PCs restore the temple to it's glory, and make sure the relic is kept there still. (so no thieving of holy relics). The irony is worst for the merchant, who gets the opposite result of what he bargained for, or maybe even says that the party did not help him: he loses his house. Just some ideas.... this could be made bigger and bigger I guess: is the diety of the forgotte priest still known in this age? What's its portfolio/alginment? Does its preist hood need a revival?
