[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 7542109, member: 20323"] That's a great twist! Unfortunately, while I did mention Xandala's beauty, I didn't foreshadow any suitors. The only thing that springs to mind is the NPC Brother-in-Law ([B]gladiator[/B]) of the ranger PC... the PCs parted ways with the NPC Brother-in-Law a week ago on bad terms, as the party decided to use a consumable magic item for other reasons rather than helping the Brother-in-Law find the one responsible for turning his sister (the ranger PC's wife) into a zombie. Essentially they choose a "greater good" rather than the Brother-in-Law's "personal vendetta." It's [I]possible[/I] the goblin hunting party ran into him along the river... though it would be out-of-character for the Brother-in-Law to ally with goblins, maybe despite the disagreement with the PCs he still views the ranger PC as family... so he could "join" the goblins as a guide, the goblins think they're press-ganging him, when his real intention is to keep an eye on them. But then when the Brother-in-Law meets Xandala he is smitten by her. Maybe she is the first ray of light he has seen in a long time? A chance at a new beginning? Not realizing he is being thoroughly manipulated. [/QUOTE]
