[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 8218564, member: 6698278"] My very first thought was that her husband had her killed and was just covering things up and trying to keep the knowledge from his son. Since you've said the son is a nice guy and the husband is not this fits the facts as known. If you want a twist to things, have the mom be the one that is alive and the father was murdered by the mom. The mom is a shapeshifter and changed into the dad and then made up the story about the mom moving. This still fits the facts because the mom is posing as the dad so it is her that is the bad one. You might even have the group discover evidence that at one time prior to the marriage the dad was really nice and the town saw him as a beloved and upright citizen. That would be new info. Maybe the dad is not dead but is being held in some sort of magical prison. So the group can discover the dad and reunite him with his son after defeating the mom. Maybe they discover a clue that the mom was once seen wandering in the woods and that is why they think the faeries did it. The reality is the mom just changed back into her true form for a while. So the group going after the faeries could get interesting but in the end they will have to discover that the faeries didn't do it. If the group keeps digging around they might get more clues of when the mom worked at the gambling den. How for a number of years people remarked on the fact she seemed almost ageless. Maybe these rumors forced her to marry the dad and remove him from the picture because her story wasn't going to hold up much longer. [/QUOTE]
