Writing a Mission Story-Arc (part 4)


I have written a tag-along NPC before in a mission called "The Seeds Of Chaos." In Broken Citadel, I'm planning to have two potential tag-along NPC's that will be somewhat at odds with each-other. They will have various roles towards the success of the mission, but because the mission itself was not officially assigned through the team's Operations Sergeant, there will be some gray areas regarding how to proceed. Players will have to make choices to prioritize their own mission goals and parameters as they go, and they will have to consider the different goals and methods recommended by the two tag-along NPC's. They must also do all this under the pressure of a persistent threat and looming time constraints.
