I'm running a small, starting from lvl 1 campaign, the PCs started in a small village and it is low magic/non existent except in fairy tales and i am slowly introducing things that are strange and new to them (existence of actual fairys/ goblins ect).
anyway onto the point, one of the PC's grew up outside of this village in a city, but then went back when he was 9, so obviously i have asked this player to give me some outside NPCS he knew to play with as they are soon coming up to the big City he was born in,
one of these characters is a poor orphan who grew up in a bad area, now, im obviously going to go the rogue route for this one, thinking with my story he'll fit in nicely as a paranoid un-trusting twitchy person who seems like a conspiracy theorist but actually has some proper info on whats been happening BUT here in lies the challenge for the party, hes un-trusting as i said before, even of his old friend, he could be a spy, he might have been brainwashed ect so i need some lvl 3-4 appropriate "test" of trust for this guy to put the PC on, this may or may not involve the rest of the party as i cant fully predict how this will pan out (can we ever)
the PC is a Bard so i was thinking some kind of written song slandering a noble or even the queen something that may put him in some risk of being jailed if he does badly?
the rest of the party if they get involved are, ranger, rogue, *undecided human paragon and factotum
