Some example:1) An evil urban solo campaign where the PC was a priest assassin of an evil god. His sister (a prostitute) had been kidnapped by an enemy thieves' guild. They did send the PC a letter, to which was joined a leg (of her sister naturally). The leter basically said: "Okay freak, do you want to get your sister back? Or just keep the leg as a souvenir? If you don't do what we say, we we'll have to also remove her teeth, so she won't accidentally bite the beggars of the leprosy when they use her for their pleasure..." Now, since the PC was an evil cultist-assassin, he said "I consider my sister dead, but I SWEAR! the pigs will pay for that!!". I don't remember how the story ended, but the PC was really angered to death.2) Another campaign, same player, but a LN ranger. The PC had begun his adventuring life by being sent to retrieve two important symbols (a ring and a sword) of his clan, that had been tolen from the clan's chief (who had been assassinated to get the items). Of course, the chief was a relative of the PC. After much search (several adventures), the PC finally captured the thief and did ask him where the sword was. The rascal answered contemptuously: "Pfff... I gave it to a guy in a tavern, in exchange for a few drinks..." The PC angered: "This was the symbol of our clan!" The thief: "Oh well! I was thirsty! A whole day without a pint, can't you understand!? Besides, I don't know who this guy was..." Needless to say, the PC immediately cut the throat of the thief.3) Another campaign, same player again!!, but a LN monk. The adventurers had overcome a group of bandits who had taken over an inn in the wilderness. The barmaid told she had been repeatedly raped by the odious and stinking brutes. The monk went to interrogate one of the brigand: "So you did rape the girl?! It never occured to you to ask her if she was okay?" The brigand: "Ask?? Why should I care? She is only a woman after all..." The PC broke each of the brigand's 10 fingers one by one.Maybe, I should later try some OTHER sort of baddies.</blockquote>
