One of the groups I DM has two PC's which were turned to stone. Not the biggest deal for the one player but the other would really like to free his PC if possible by having his back up character complete a quest.
The party is going to be a tanky level 5/6 mix of 2 Paladins, a Fighter and a Cleric.
For a couple sessions I have had a tribe of 50ish Native American like NPC's in my notes that the party hasn't encountered. I'm thinking they might bump into the tribe, discover most of the adult men to be dead and be offered a two part quest by an elderly magic having grandmotherly type character.
The first part will be to do something for the tribe....that is my main problem. What could this elderly cleric and maybe the chief of a village where most of the men have been killed need the party to do....take out another tribe isn't totally out of the question.....can you think of any appropriate animals which could have killed soo many of the men yet the party can defeat? Or even half that number? The party hasn't met the tribe yet so I can modify them but I think the idea will go over well.
The second will be to bring back body parts from a Medusa. One CR6 Medusa isn't a very difficult encounter but if magic grandma places a time limit on things it helps. I can also give medusa a henchman or two if the party shows up unmolested. What henchmen would a medusa have?
