Ok so u all are familiar with the movie well if not here is my campaign overview the players have to stop the an unknown villian from destroying the world using animated temple relics. The catch is that after defeating the first relic they become the target of a curse after a random time period if they dont defeat the next relic the meet a final destination I.E. death. There is no way to provent this because any object can come alive and kill them. And to top it off they are in an island chain and dont know where the next relic is located so they have to find it as well.

Now for the problem I have ran a couple of sessions with the 2-man party as is but a couple of more friends wish to join, which is find by me cause a sorcerer and bard isn't exactly the best party combo. But i'm having a hard time finding a probable reason for them A) being willing to join a curse like this willingly and B) joining the party period fluff wise because one member is a multipule personality case and the other a child.

Sooo any help with reasonably putting them together would be very much apreciated.

Thanks in advance,

A teleportation accident (false destination).

Washed up from shipwreck.

I don't know the curse but as you have curses as a theme maybe one appears as an apparition and needs help to put the life essence back in the body which just happens to be in a little house over there.

All I can think of for now.

05-20-06, 05:43 PM thanks for the input but i guess i wasnt real specific the game is a mystery suspense with a hurry or die overtone right now they must solve a kindnaping case with there motivation being the girl who was kindnaped had a temple of the wolf madallion on her and they are pretty sure that this maybe the next totem to be animated so in a time stop feel the have to A) return the madalion B) destroy the animal upon animation and C) as a side note rescue the girl. Now the twist is that the girl is the mayors daughter and she will be held ransom for the golden griffin statue which is the real target of the villian because with a griffin the villian will be able to not only take out the village but start raiding boats to provent the pc's from going to get help. so because of the fast paced nature of the game its hard to insert new pc's.

Thanks all u gave me great inspiration she can be the sister of the new pc and he must rescue her from the asalant before the kill her

thanks for the help all

05-20-06, 11:20 PM The logical solution to the 'why would they join the curse?' question would be that they are already under the effects of the curse. They also defeated a different statue, and were inflicted with the same curse, and it just so happens that the two groups of two meet up on the journey to the next statue.
