Message: <blockquote data-quote="Water Bob" data-source="post: 5242932" data-attributes="member: 92305">I'm creating a few NPCs for my game, and I'm using Vincent Darlarge's excellent Player's Guide to the Hyborian Age to brainstorm some backgrounds and put meat on their bones.  The NPC is 12 years old (a year younger than PCs next session), a Cimmerian, and he's a Blue Fox clansman living in Seven Stones Ridge (in north-central Cimmeria in the southern foothills of the Eiglophians). He'll be a 1st level Barbarian in 3 years (and his stats, then at age 15, will be: STR 19, DEX 9, CON 14, INT 13, WIS 11, CHR 10).  What I've established so far is that he lives in Seven Stones with his family. His family will be a shepherd/farmer/carpenter/weaver/hunter/fisherman or something like that.  He's an only child, but has an adopted sister a year younger. Her name is Chani. And, he has two other adopted younger brothers.  So, here's the interesting part: Brial has trouble with one of his relatives over an issue of love. He caused a person to lose a limb. And, he rescued someone from an accident.  Chani, his adopted younger sister, also rescued someone from an accident.  I was thinking of tying all these events together into one event.  Can you think of a situation where a Cimmerian boy causes a person to lose a limb while rescueing them at the same time, with his little sister helping, and have the situation somehow tied to a romantic encounter?  I love setting up parameters like this and trying to figure a plausible explaination to tie all the parts together.  Have any ideas?</blockquote>
