Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cedric" data-source="post: 855283" data-attributes="member: 2044">The people you meet along the way...Keep the NPC's interesting people with interesting problems. The nice family who was moving to a village nearby but busted a wheel on the wagon...the players efforts to get the wagon wheel up and working so they can make it to the next town. The daughter who falls for one of the players...The son who wants to grow up to be a swordsman...Then their utter shock when something like orcs attack and they see death firsthand. The realization from the girl that she could never love a man who killed so easily, even when killing orcs. The understanding from the son that this is what being a swordsman means and the realization that this isn't the person he wants to be. Then the young thief they meet, on the run from the city guard in the town they just left. Asks to ride along with the party if they don't mind. He'll eventually be caught up in his own lies...will they turn him in to the guard at the next town? Council him on his ways and set him free? or catch him with his hand in the wrong pocket and deal out the punishment of the sword. These are just two examples...but always on a long, epic journey, it's the people you meet along the way that make the memories last....Cedric</blockquote>
