[QUOTE="Delemental, post: 3050244, member: 5203"] The island destroys memories. The longer you stay, the more of your experiences and 'self' you lose. Stay too long, and you essentially become a sort of living zombie. Several nations send their worst criminals to the island as the penultimate form of punishment. The old man could be associated with the PC's, or a random criminal who has been there for less time and thus still remembers a bit more (but could have less than honorable intentions). Why are they there? The PCs were former great heroes, as described in other scenarios above, but they came to the island on [I]purpose[/I]. They had learned something so great, and so terrible, that they [I]had [/I]to purge themselves of the knowledge, perhaps for the good of the world. In the short term, they have to get off the island before they lose too much memory and their sense of self dissolves. Long term, the PCs go about trying to figure out why they were on the island in the first place... eventually leading them to relearn the terrible dark secret and the fact that they chose to go there.
