[QUOTE="ScyldSceafing, post: 688629, member: 5928"] My goodness, but this forum has some great suggestions. So great, in fact, that I'm going to see if I can solicit some. I'm running a pbem set in Greyhawk. The characters, in brief, are a half-orc bounty hunter (Brb 2/Shaman 1 - using OA class), a human Mnk3, and a human Psi(Psykin)3. The two humans are escapees from a sort of youth academy / indoctrination station in western Tenh run by agents of Iuz ... they were sent to this pretigious school by their parents just before the Iuzian wave broke on Tenh. The half-orc is, as I mentioned before, a bounty hunter. Ok, here's the thing. The humans have escaped, using some pilfered Dust of Tracelessness to cover their trail, and not they're in the Phostwood, hungry, barely getting enough food to stay alive. Meanwhile, the half-orc has been led on a merry chase by a dwarf who pilfered something from a prominent family in Greyhawk. Half-orc meets humans, teaches them to fish, learns they're on the lam (hunted by orcs, etc.) and, as the strings come up, friendships are forged and the course of history altered forever, yadda yadda yadda. So here's my questions. Please note that I am open to any and all suggestions; I have provisional answers, but these are sort of long-term plot points and obviously can change. Reply freely as none of the players read these boards. 1.) What did the dwarf steal? Faarnorl (the half-orc) was offered 1000 gp to return the item, 500 gp for the dwarf alive and 100gp for the dwarf dead. 2.) Who did the dwarf steal it from? Faarnorl was told "a prominent family" by the sherriff who gave him the commission, but that's all. That could have been a lie, of course. 3.) Where is the dwarf headed? He's made a beeline for the northeast so far, using boats on the Nyr Dyv and up to Stoink. Is it the exiled government of Tenh he's working for? The Pale? Some other group? 4.) What long-term repercussions can the humans expect from their breakout? They killed one orc guard in escaping, but otherwise made a fairly clean break of it. That's it, folks. Have at it. I'm looking forward to brainstorming with y'all. [/QUOTE]
