06-30-07, 04:55 AM Ok here's the deal:

During the first session, one of the PCs was kidnapped. They were being chased through a sewer and she was at the back. Because they had just met, they didn't feel the need to go back for her. They moved on.

Move on several months (RT) and the PCs are higher level and are getting curious about what happened to this lost comrade. This story wasn't fully developed yet and it got put on the back burner. Here's what I've got so far (it's not much):

BBEG was getting close to natural death. Through subtle manipulation brings PCs together (spread out amongst huge city) and chases them out of the city, in the process kidnapping our friend and stealing her body. The way it is planned now, when the PCs finally encounter BBEG it will be the long lost character. My questions... I want her soul/consciousness trapped somewhere (preferably an item on BBEG/Old PC's person) so she can be recovered. I know I've seen this item and now I can't find it.

Also, I am asking help with fleshing out the story more as well as class/abilities for BBEG. I normally figure these things out with relative ease but for some strange reason am drawing a blank on working this out in my head and visualizing how it should go.

Thanks
