So, I had Daviren Hosk offer the PCs a bounty for goblin ears. They took great pleasure in collecting extra money by killing goblins they would have killed anyway. They threw me a curve-ball in the Catacombs of Wrath. They dropped, then coup' de grace'd (I don't think that's actually a word) Koruvus the mutated 3-armed goblin. After cleaning out the rest of the Catacombs, they came back to get the body. They want to return the whole body to Hosk for an extra reward, since he has the body of the goblin chief in a jar already. Any suggestions for what I should reward them?
I looked up the NPC boons and figured that would be a good place to start. None of the players have Animal Companions or any interest in mounts. So giving them a horse or 2 doesn't seem that something that would be valued. Any other ideas on boons from the stable master?
Well, Daviren is a former adventurer and accomplished hunter who gets around (or used to, in his younger days). If I had some other unrelated boon that I wanted to get in the party's hands, I'd just have good Mr. Hosk send the players to some other appropriate person in town, with the message "Daviren Hosk is calling in his favor. He says you'll know what that means. He's asking you to help us and then you're square." Good opportunity to get some face time in with some other local NPC.
