Re: [BNW] Disaster Scenario

["Wyldsong" <wyldsong@provide.net>]

I ran a module for Earthdawn that included a crashed airship (burning
buildings, injured civilians, innocents in distress, the works....) and I
did it with the old standby of having an important NPC (pc's wanna be
girlfriend) aiding the victims. She was a Questor of Garlen (Healer) and was
abhorred by the carnage. He actually tried to start up a conversation with
her during the resues and she rounded on him, nearly broke her non-violence
oaths and hit him, and then said that if he wanted to impress her then save
these peoples lives! The other pc's were easier, being the swashbuckling
type anyway.
Try threatening something they would like to protect....geriatrics in danger
may yank the heartstrings but PCs are usually much too jaded to really care.
Unless of course dear old Aunt Mae just happens to be visiting her friends
from the Mature Ladies of Crescent City Knitting Circle or some such....you
get the idea.
