So with the Prince suitably armed its time to march on the dread beasts lair and rescue the princess. Will the adventurers have the courage to defeat such great evil?
The beast is a mighty dragon who is holding the princess in the highest cave in his mountain lair along with all his treasure hoard. However the caverns, tunnels and rooms below the hoard are full with dragon kin who worship the dragon as living god and will do anything to protect him. When they arrive to save the princess the reason for her capture becomes clear, shes meant to be the first meal the dragon and his new mate are meant to share.
The beast is a vampire lord who hopes with powerful magic he can use the princess as a host to the spirit of his long dead wife. His ancient fortress is defended by legions of the undead still under oath to defend their lord. Ancient traps, ghosts, skeletons, banshees and all manner of monstrous undead beasts lurk within the castle walls.
The beast is a golem who has achieved true intelligence and only stole the princess away to protect her from the advances of the prince. The golem lord wants to build a new kingdom for his kind and even invites the characters to attend his wedding to the princess. Will the characters be able to stop the prince and his father from razing this new kingdom to the ground or will they fight the golem city to get the princess back.
GM notes: To avoid the prince stealing all the spotlight have him knocked out by the dread monster (or killed if the players are really fed up of the moaning git). Afterwards, to make them feel like true heroes, have them presented as the noble companions to the quest. For added fame have them overhear stories told in the land which make it appear as if the adventurers were the real heroes.
