*runs up panting* I’m here, I’m here! And these are some great ideas! I will now try to convey my thoughts in a streamlined, comprehensible fashion…more or less. XD
(1) Plot: I like the idea of the party being for the prince’s coronation and that the prince “steals” himself. As far as whether his motives are good or bad, why don’t we explore both? At first, the prince could pretend to be evil and want to overthrow his father the king and use the ransom money to hire a mercenary force to do so. However, as the story progresses, the characters discover that the prince is actually playacting in order to draw the king’s corrupt advisors to himself and thus reveal their true character to his father. Oh, and we should definitely have it so that the prince is “kidnapped” in front of everyone because of the dramatic potential. Maybe he could disappear during a magic act or something…
(2) Setting: I like the suggestions already given for this one, though I think that maybe there should be a foreboding forest somewhere nearby as well as the sandy terrain. (Maybe it could be a dried out forest or one that’s full of strange desert plants?) I like the mountain city idea because that’ll give us a lot of things to work with as far as hiding places and secret operations as well as the culture. As far as the name of the place goes…maybe it could be an extension of the Meerkat kingdom we were trying to develop?
