Topic	Going to DM my first D&D game. Please rate my played story arch
Zeus 12/26/17 3:05:56 AM #4:	Please rate my played story arch On the off-chance that it wasn't an autocorrect, I just want to note that it's "arc" not "arch." hypnox posted... I plan on starting out within a small town with the plot of a necromancer(they don't know who or what they are doing) controlling goblins to kidnap people for rituals. If it's a necromancer, wouldn't it make more sense to have him control undead creatures? Or is he just paying goblins to do his dirty work? You could even work that into a plot point, since a mercenary would be willing to talk whereas an enchanted creature of some kind (especially a zombie) would not. Plus what are the rituals being performed? If he's killing people and sending them back as zombies to abduct more people, you have an interesting added conflict since the living are confronted by their dead relatives and friends. hypnox posted... If she dies, the group will go to the tavern where the father is waiting, they tell them they could not save his daughter and he breaks down. Someone in the tavern yells out something among the lines of "if her father was a man, it would never have happened" to which he will attack the person and the person will cut time down. At that time, the tavern will grow cold and quiet. A woman enters the tavern and everyone is frozen by a spell. She walks to the tavern keep and says " as per our arrangement, one gold piece for a body" and drops a gold piece that glows. In comes the daughter with her throat slit and picks up her dead father and her and the necromancer walk out the door and disappear. The necromancer needs bodies for a ritual and so she is having gold pieces spread that alerts her to a murder near by thus she can teleport and collect the body. Seems pointlessly contrived. For starters, a minion who can teleport is far more useful for kidnapping people or just grabbing bodies. Plus taking the body and paying off the tavern owner in plain sight of everybody would just be sloppy (after all, they can wait five minutes for the body to be moved then steal it). If they need a clue about the necromancer, there are easier ways to leave breadcrumbs. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:892880811] in Going to D...
