So, I just started a campaign for a single player. Specifically, my wife. The game is Pathfinder, a new system for both of us. She has a little experience with D&D 4e and WFRP 2e, and most of my experience is with D&D 3e & 4e and WFRP 2e.
The problem I've run into is that my DM skills are rusty, which isn't a huge issue except that I have no ideas on where to take the story from here. She's playing a witch (her first spellcaster) with the healing pact and a witch familiar, but she wanted to start off without her familiar or spells and roleplay out gaining them. I thought it was an awesome idea.
So far, she was sent to an Abbey to help care for a monk who'd fallen into a coma. She's been doing so (with her typical mediocre rolls. I've never seen anyone manage to roll averages so often) and learning a little about the inhabitants, including their belief that something evil lurks in the surrounding woods and it's dangerous to go outside the Abbey walls at night.
So, my problem is...I have almost no idea where to go from here. I want to link what's happening in the woods with her gaining her pact, but I have absolutely no ideas. I'd love suggestions!
