Greetings!

The Situation: I am currently starting up an Iron Kingdoms game.

The Problem: About 50% of my players are from a previous game that I ran. Therefore, I cannot recycle old story arcs.

THE SOLUTION: I was hoping that we might pool our story ideas. I would like IK specific story ideas (or at least fantasy setting), though if we are all sharing, they don't have to be.

I'll get us started:

From the old game:

A mysterious scholar hires the group to retrieve an artifact. The scholar sells out the party to slavers instead of paying up. Turns out the "scholar" is a sorcerer looking to make a play for the throne. The party leaves the country with the princess in exile to request help from her country's allies. They return to a battle where they are out numbered for epic finally.

And idea for the current game:

The party is hired to escort refugees from an occupied country. Unknown to them, there are spies among the refugees. The party realize that they have been helping the enemy/have to hunt down the spies.

(I intentionally left it vague - ish in case anyone actually wants to use it/work in their own ideas.)

So, any other ideas?

What if the spies were from an nearby kingdom seeking an artifact that your kingdom is rumored to have?
