Fight to the top of the moutain (one-shot idea)
Here’s one for you Dm’s that want the journey to be 80% of the battle (& the battle ontop to be the other 20%) The players come to a town, & as they stroll about, many bad things start happening. After every event of one of these bad things happening, the person who has had it happen two will yell & blame “the person on the top of the mountain”. After a while of being around town, the mayor will come up to the party & ask them to kill the person on top of the mountain. Apparently that person has been cursing the town with bad luck for two weeks now & everyone is getting fed up. The towns people can’t do it, do to the bad luck stopping them from making the already dangerous climb to the top. The mayor offers them one of the finer houses in town if they are willing to make the dangerous climb to fight the person on the top of the mountain.
