Following situation in an asian inspired jade empire adventure:
1. there is a small island with two cities. It was an island long ago used for training of military troops.
regent of city A lets murder the regent of city B by Ninjas.
What could be the motivation to kill the regent of city B? I am looking for something interesting. Just to gain control over the whole region is a bit boring.
2. the story should involve a dungeon adventure. Does anyone has an idea how to connect the murder case with a dungeon exploration?
3. What should be special elements or situations for a jade empire dungeon crawl?
Thanks for help.
