Hello Fellow BR lovers,
I am looking for a few ideas about a game I am hoping to run this
weekend....I have no ideas
and would appreciate any help, because I am somewhat new to DMing.
Here is the characters:a human male priest character of Cuireacen(lvl 5)
named Regaltos of Talanie(Cuireacen is the faith of Talanie in this game,
not Haelyn), and a female dwarven fighter(lv 5) from Mur-Kilad named
Greta(she fled from Gorgon's wrath)

Here is a bit of background history, They just finished fighting off a major
goblin invasion from Thurazor(within the last 5 weeks-game time), and were
sent on a mission to retrieve Thuriene Donall's heir(Siobhan was kidnapped
by a Priest of Eloele-yes, secretly by an order of Torias Griene-2nd in
command of Talanie)
The thing is they arrived at the exchange point with the ransom(15GB) and
fought the Kidnapper Priest. During the battle, after most of his henchmen
had fallen, the evil priest cast "Animate Dead". This spell had an adverse
effect though, it raised the dead henchmen alright, but opened a portal to
the shadow world behind him(primarily because it was nearing" The eve of the
Dead"). The spell also summoned undead on the SW side of the portal. The
undead on the SW side grabbed at the evil priest and pulled him in, and
grabbed at the heir (Siobahn Redhie). Seeing this, Greta grabbed Siobahn
too, and gave a good tug(18/00 Str), while Regaltos hacked at the SW undead.
I gave in to the PC's actions, (because of the Dwarf's enourmous Str, and
both of their quick reactions) and let them save her.Then the portal closed.
And that's where we ended it(but I mentioned that Siobhan's leg was terribly
injured from being almost torn off)
Here is what I had planned before the previous gaming session: I wanted
Siobahn to get trapped in the SW too, and Regaltos and Greta would return to
the palace unsuccessful. But when they returned they would find Thuriene
Donalls dead, killed on a carriage ride in the countryside(again secretly
arranged by Torias Griene). Now with no heir, and no ruler Regaltos was sure
to step up to the throne.
Siobhan would return later to reclaim Talanie but that's another story.
Now what do you all think of what I should do with the current situation?I
would prefer that Regaltos step up to the throne somehow and we start
getting domain turns going(as do the players) but we like good stories,
rather than "it just happens"....and I am dry on ideas other than having
Siobahn die of internal bleeding (but that's too easy)..well?
Thanks chummers,
Terence
