    Default Brainstorming: Who would you like to save?

    I'm in need of a jog to my thinking: Suppose your PC frees an NPC from a goblin pit. Which NPC would you enjoy saving? The floor is quite open for suggestions, so people from your campaign, from the real world, from other stories entirely are all acceptable. Just please tell us why you'd enjoy saving that character/person.
    Thanks in advance!

    A chef who will cook me a delicious meal in exchange for rescue.
    (The quickest way to an adventurer's heart is through the stomach.) That way, you don't have to chop through the ribcage...

    A weapon smith who has a lead on a tapped-out mithril/adamantine mine that might not be completely empty of the metal.
    (Discounts on crafting for providing the material yourself? Yes please.)

    A kitten/puppy/adorable baby manticore.
    (Even baby wargs start as puppies. Everybody likes cute.)

    Long-lost parent/sibling/cousin/ex.
    (Hopefully self-explanatory.)

    A dinosaur.
    (Because dinosaur.)

    A celebrity adventurer fallen on hard times. (Extra points if you make a Lockheart-like character.)
    (Offers of fame and fortune are usually pretty good for PCs.)

    An enemy spy who is trying to defect.
    (This guy/girl/sentient plant/whatever has valuble information, but is only willing to share it with the general/queen/guard captain/local mob boss.)

    My good for nothing cousin who can't get out himself due to losing an arm last time we went out.

    My childhood crush who I had hoped to return to in much more peaceful circumstances.

    My old mentor, for the joy it would be to finally repay her.

    A goblin mad scientist, who I can go to for advice and to shore up my lack of intelligence.

    The arrogant self-styled "legendary" adventurer who was laughing at me in the tavern yesterday. Think Lord Flashheart.
    "None of us likes to be hated, none of us likes to be shunned. A natural result of these conditions is, that we consciously or unconsciously pay more attention to tuning our opinions to our neighbor’s pitch and preserving his approval than we do to examining the opinions searchingly and seeing to it that they are right and sound." - Mark Twain

    The person who threw us into a pit 5 sessions ago, and against whom we have been hatching revenge fantasies ever since.

    @ Sky: Thanks! I like how you think.

    @ SirBellias: Good ideas, thank you!

    @ veti: Though Flashheart would of course never be caught in a pit! Thanks.

    @ Koo Rehtorb: "Indiana Jones? Adieu." Thanks!

    @ JNAProductions: I'd be afraid she was in another pit, though. Thank you!

    @ Lvl 2 Expert: Natch! Thanks!
