The bard was the "best friend" of the house's betrothed daughter. When they interviewed the daughter, she confided in the female PC that the bard and her were "more than friends" in a very intense way. They didn't see that coming, and it made the wheels in their heads turn fast. A more serious situation: The PCs were camping out in the wilderness. I ran a little side-trek where the priest and the rogue were out hunting, and came across an abandoned mine entrance. THey walked in, and found the mine had collapsed. However, sticking out of some rubble was a piece of wood with a red gem on the end.The rogue grabbed it and pulled. Out came a broken stick. To be more precise, it was a broken axe haft, and the weapon's head was across the room. They uncovered the pile of rubble, and found a dwarven skeleton underneath, with a hole going through its back. PCs decided to turn and walk away. On their trip back, they had gotten suspicious of the circumstances, and went to check it out. They found the skeleton was gone, and a fresh, blood-drained corpse buried in the snow nearby. That dwarven vampire became a recurring villain. All their fault, too. He just wanted his axe back.</blockquote>
