Plot Help

[southern_rocker]

well I have the basic plot down but i think it needs a little fixing. So can anyone here help.

The characters are summoned by a powerful noble in the city. he sends them to kill all the people in a villiage that is refusing to pay the taxes he(the noble) imposed on them..After the characters get there one of the villiage children( about 9yrs old) attack one of them. they easily beat him but he barely esacaped..while returning to the city a tribe of orcs or something attack the group and take them hostage.. after they get free they finnally return only to find all their loved ones dead and a letter telling the group to meet this persone somewhere...well they meet and the assailant reveals himself to be the boy of the villiage they destroyed.(about 19yrs old) he tells them that his master sent him to another plane to get stronger(dif. flow of time there). In the middle of the battle they are teleported to a strange place at the entrance of a large cave. a deity tells them that if they work together and complete the challenges in the cave and then stop a Powerful evil from destroying the world than he will bring back all of there family.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Specifically, in what part of the plot you need help? The cave part?

Here is some ideas:
To finally be able to beat the evil entity, the party must obtain powerfull item from their world. Now, there are several ways to make things interesting, and here is one way: The world where the deity transported the party and the boy is "blocked" by some unknown force. Perhaps the evil entity is trapped in the world where the party was transported, and it can't leave that world yet, though the magical barriers are weakening. So, what if the party must first find a way to deal with the barriers to be able to return to their world to optain the item, then find a way or negotiate with deities to be transported back to actually be able to deal with the evil?

Also, when they finally reach the evil entity, what about it making a counter offer for sparing it's life? Much higher reward would be interesting counter for the fact that the party would be betraying one of the gods, which would bring interesting depate inside the party.


Some ideas of mine, I return to the topic later with more time to actually think...
