    Riiight! I'd realy would like some help! I'm now making a quest or a "session" for a game that will be play in three week.

    At the begenning the PC (bunch of CG level 10 freaks) come to Sysmento for a festival. They will have two choice for their's adventure: Accept the king's offer for finding the 2500 years old Spear of their " hero " who cast away the evil necromencer Oulial in the nine hell. Or, Accept the neighbourg Prince offer; to find the spear of the bastard who cast away the one who found their empire, the Deuz Empire so the government can hide the truth their people, to show the people that this sooo "hero" didn't exist. Basicaly both country are Fanatic one Neutral (LN) Sysmento, the other evil (LE) the Empire. Whatever they choose they will get in trouble after since, when they were searching that stupid spear, the Empire would conquer the country of Sysmento. So if they would have choose the offer of the King of Sysmento, they would arrive in a Fanatic country with the very tool who cast away they creater ( Oulial was a quasi-God Divine Rank: 0). but Why the Deuz empire would be mad if they have accepted the Prince's offer? I realy want to show them that in my world, that just because you are "Good" and have accomplish heroic quest that you will be always Heroes! I just wanted to make them international criminal (since the Deuz empire is huge and very... persuasive) Help please?

    Hard to understand but I think I got it.

    If they are goddie-good-doers then they wont accept the offer the prince gave them. Just tell them how evil the prince are.
    Or meaby you could make the enemy in who holds the spear now one of the prince lost adventurers(or a relative like his brother) and the prince gets so mand that he banished the party. Some ideas. Hope they are good and that I understood what you ment.

    Though I find this story too contrived, the answer to your problem is very simple. It doesn't matter whose offer they accept because when they get back they will only be dealing with the prince. The only problem I see is why would the prince want them to find the spear, when it's being lost is what he wants?

    Now, since the prince wants all evidence of this "hero" erased from history, if the group shows up with the spear, regardless of whether he asked them to get it or the king did, how can he let them live? In order to erase the evidence, he has to kill all those who are aware of the spear's existence right? So the prince comes up with some trumped up charges against them and declares them outlaws sentenced to death. Simple.

    Blackthorne TA: Yeah you must be right... thanks, I know I can be hard to understand since I wrote this topic in a hurry and I do not have 100% knowledge of english sorry... ANYWAY I think they (the PC) will likely choose the king since he isn't evil... I just wanted to make my player understand that a heroic reputation is lost has easily has gained, and that the world change. The ultimte goal of the players will be persuade the prince to let them live, and if they search hard enough they will find the prince litle secret... Actualy I haven't find it yet... For now I mainly create NPC of the world, since it would be through Dialogue that the PC will find the secret.


    Woo-hoo! an another gems! I never liked the Thaz (or something like that) now the sky drop is MUCH better!
