Credit to @Ampere for bringing this idea to Blue Moon originally.
This will be my second attempt at this theme, I enjoyed the first but we started out as individual players and spent most of our time trying to herd them into groups. So with those lessons learned (somewhat) I present:
Mark II
For this time I would like to recruit up to 4 female adventurer types of a sort of generic D&D race and class.
I will consider 1 or 2 Male slaver minion types (goblins, orcs, etc.) but if need be I can write the male parts.
This will be D&D themed but we won't be using any dice or complex character sheets. If there is sufficient interest, I'll set up the group threads and we can get started.
The Setting
The great river Dessarin, feeds the fertile valley of the same name, which in turn fedes much of the larger kingdom to the south and west towards the more densely populated coast. Deep in the interior, the Dessarin Valley is a restive region, little to fear this far from the coast or the frontier, consequently the king's legions rarely strayed into this quiet heartland. It was not a wealthy land, what little gold flowed into the valley was reinvested into seed and tools, as was the nature of the sensible farmers, merchants, and tradesmen that homesteaded the lands and towns of the valley.
The valley had another treasure that was often overlooked by the decent and hard working residents, their daughters and wives. Not that they didn't treasure them, just that they couldn't make the cold hard transaction of flesh for coin. But there are always those who can...
In the past months the maidens and comely matrons of the valley have begun to disappear, some not returning from walks to the market, others missing from the murdered families of remote farms. It was just a few at first, a mystery that could be explained away by superstition, bad luck, or an unhappy spouse. But as the number of missing have increased, caution has turned to fear. But it is harvest time and the tough reality is that the men folk need to harvest or face starvation this winter. Petitions to the king have as yet gone unanswered, for what is the loss of a few farm girls to the problems of kings and rich cities?
What recourse do they have other than to keep a watchful eye on their young ladies? Keep them from roaming as their free young spirits desire, maybe even lock them away in small groups to try and keep this 'treasure' safe from those who would claim it for themselves? Maybe pool their meager coin in hopes of hiring some sell swords to investigate and put a stop to this scourge?

I don't have any ideas I'm set on yet, so I'm pretty flexible. So what do you need?
