Sometimes, beating everything in sight isn’t ideal, or even possible. Sometimes you just want to get in and get out again as fast as possible.
Rescuing a hostage from within an army barracks, enemy castle/dungeon, or some other hostile location can be a really challenging adventure idea, especially if you add a time challenge and more than one hostage. How you can use Rescue Missions in your game: • Rescuing a hostage is a time-honoured tradition of adventuring, whether a kidnapped prince, powerful merchant, or vulnerable family members. • This can be a bit more challenging if the person you need to rescue is someone you don’t *want* to rescue, like a recurring villain. • Alternately, you can use this idea if you have captured an enemy, and know that their allies will be trying to rescue them. Having enemies infiltrating your own stronghold and running a dungeon in reverse can be a fun change of pace. (Originally posted on Game Masters Stash on 17 February 2019) Comments are closed.
