[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 4906731, member: 20323"] I didn't rule it out, but none of the players showed an interest in playing a human noble. I decided to go for more of a "brave heroes make sacrifices to protect the young heir" feel, to let them shape this young mind and really show off that they are HEROES. Yeah, that could work really well. I dropped a clue already that the Crown Prince, while defending the northern border from marauding orcs, ordered his unit to guard a scarcely used pass due to "intelligence" he received. A small number of soldiers broke rank to defend the main pass, but the orcs overwhelmed them and went on a rampage. Ooo, I like! It'll take some tweaking but that's totally cool. Thanks fba827! Good point... I do have the apprentice-nemesis of Selena involved (a wicked eladrin enchantress/illusionist with enslaved fey), but I'm saving that for higher levels. I dig the rescue the wizard angle...I was thinking of a kindly philosopher-mage getting locked up by the Crown Prince for teaching a proletariat doctrine, and the PCs could use a special ritual only he knows. Hmm...maybe there could be a magic throne involved at some point, something the PCs need to prevent from falling into the Crown Prince's hands. [/QUOTE]
