Need a side quest for a PC


Carrion Crown


Hello!

I'm looking for ideas or even a short published adventure I can insert between “Broken Moon” and “Wake of the Watcher” that will allow one of the PCs (a monk trained in Osirion) to explore his own backstory.

The PC was born a farmer's son in a small and relatively poor village. His family's farmland was quite fertile while the other farmers' crop was only meager. Because of this their neighbors grew envious, spreading superstitious rumors.
When the PC was 11 years old a fire destroyed his parent's house in the middle of the night, killing all other family members. The boy was left unharmed but couldn't remember what happened that night.
Grudgingly other villagers took him in until his uncle, a widely travelled merchant, arrived two months later and took the orphaned boy with him. That was 14 years ago and the PC never returned to his old home. Until now.

I would like the group to stumble into the PC's old home village in Versex on their way to Thrushmore and have an adventure based on his backstory.
I was thinking about relocating the Colour Out of Space from “Wake of the Watcher” to this village, having crashed into the farmstead inside a meteorite and burning it to the ground. But wile I like the idea of a Lovecraftian character background I don't know how to fill the gap the Colour would leave in WotW.

So, what else could have caused the fire? Are there any short scenarios that can be adapted to fit this backstory or do you have any comments regarding the Colour Out of Space?

Thanks for your help!


Run the "Carrion Hill" Paizo module. Someone did a proper level update to this module on the forums for it too take place between the two.
Just change the setting from the Town of Carrion Hill to your PC's home village/town and you are good to go.
If you can't find the forum post with the update for this module, PM me your email and I'll send you the file.


NM, found the thread
I copy/pasted all of the updated stats into a text file, easy enough.


Thank you, unfortunately this group already played Carrion Hill so I have to find something else.

Run the Doom that came to Dustpawn

It's in a village, has space aliens, and has enough NPCs that you have stuff to work with and ideas to adapt to your campaign. It's also pretty spot on for your PCs level.


Thank you, Yakman. I will try to find and have a look at it. Judging from the synopsis and reviews this may be suitable.
