Hello all. I am currently running Burnt Offerings for my wife as a modified solo mini campaign. Both of her characters are female. I don't want to pass up the opportunity to run this encounter as it usually has amusing results.
I could could always make Shayliss a bisexual or even a lesbian. Or I could turn the NPC into a teenage male, and give Ven a son.
Any suggestions on how to modify this for a female PC?

I would say turning her into a bisexual makes the most sense. She does come across as a little bit loose...
I'm not sure how to really change the dialouge once she gets them down into the cellar, but if you find one of those "girl on a journey of her sexuality" movies, it might give you some ideas.
This also begs the question of what Ven does when he discovers them together. A man taking advantage of his "sweet young daughter" is one thing, but finding her locked in the throes of passion with another woman might cause him to either fly into a rage and throw them both into the street, or bruseqly threaten the PC to keep her mouth shut about his daughter (since homosexual behavior in a small community such as Sandpoint could bear shameful consequences for their entire family).
Of course this may all be moot if Shayliss isn't your wife's type and she decides to leave the cellar.
If you give Ven a son and turn this into a "boy tricks girl into the cellar" it might have much creepier undertones that might make your wife uncomfortable.

Thanks for the ideas. I'll probably go with Shayliss being a bisexual. It seems to the most realistic for the situation.
As far as homosexual affairs in Sandpoint, remember that Sir Jasper Korvaski and Cyrdak Drokkus are having a romantic affair, and it is described as Sandpoint's worst kept secret. With the Scarnetti's really being the only ones that have a problem with it.
However, I could see Ven being pretty conservative. So having Shayliss be a bixesual seems to work well.
Thanks again, for the input.
I believe this came up back when Burnt Offerings was new, and the unofficial recommendation is to have Shayliss be bi.

Yeah, that's what I'm going to do. I'll be running that part of the adventure Sunday evening. She had the first scene and the Aldern Foxglove encounter last session.
She's probably wondering whats up with all these NPC's hitting on her. First Aldern, and now Shayliss. LOL!!! I'm loving it.

I believe we need more encounters like this to get the players to pay more attention to the NPCs. :)
While the encounter worked as described with my group, the girl was a great excuse for the character for when the player could not show on some sessions. "Sorry guys ... I'll catch you up later, kinda busy right now".

On a related note, Shalelu is bi in my game, and currently 'romantically linked' to the groups female elf druid. This was the same druid that was Alderns obsession as well... the player just sees her as having a bit of an allure.
Meanwhile, Shayliss got pregnant with the party half-elf rogue and has had a baby girl. She's now turned from harlot into a mothering figure. The half-elf (now reincarnated as a Dwarf) doesn't want to know, and is hiding out.
All good fun :)
