ITT post stuff from your campaigns and other GM s will give you advice.
> decide to run post apocalyptic campaign in savage worlds > first adventure characters are sent into the ruined city full of monsters to retrieve medicine > hospital is held by group of bandits led by 19 year old girl with psychic powers > PCs get into huge battle with entire hospital, kill over 20 of the bandits, blow up a giant worm that digs up from underground attracted by all the gunfire, and defeat qt bandit leader (even though she didn't initiate the fight, one of her underlings did) > one character decides,to cut her spine to paralyze her > wtf.png > he does it While she is unconscious, she wakes up and starts freaking out that she can't move her legs > they dump her in the back of their truck and drive off
I've told this story before on tg but recently we got to play this campaign again after a yearlong hiatus so I figured I would update you guys and also ask for advice on what to do next.
> Run a post apocalyptic game > Be surprised, when PCs act like dickasses Now, personally I would just finish her off while she's unconscious in order to eliminate loose ends. Taking a powerful enemy psychic with you everywhere you go, even if she's crippled, seems like a horrible idea with zero possible benefits.

where do i look in 3.5e D&D to figure stats for NPCs?
like, one encounter is a couple of woodcutters and a village hunter attacking the party.
Xavier Turner
Why on earth would you play 3.5?
Benjamin Miller
The woodcutters would probably be Lv2-3 commoners and the hunter would be a Lv2 Ranger. Maybe Lv4 if he has a lot of pelts on his bed.
Just eyeball it

> players continue through city , run into old enemies of one player and kill them after navigating their booby trapped hide out. Kill some demon dogs and weird chulueqsue beasts > meet some members of a community who bring the pc's to their safe zone in the city > four way intersection fortified with walls, camp inside, four building corners stripped away and gutted with people living in them > stairway to subway station where more people live including leader > basically community is a death cult where they look forward to when death claims them but suicide and needless death is cheating > are waiting for the return of their God (literally called the returner because I fucked up and forgot to give him a name >they meet with leader, a woman named Josephine > they stay a while > still have crippled girl with them who is terrified of the cult because they were after her > she starts getting closer with one of the other characters (not the one who crippled her) > I drive home,how miserable she is paralyzed and how they have to take care of her now > character who paralyzed her ends up giving her a note saying her is sorry for what he did > ok.svg > two characters help keep watch, see little girl trapped outside the walls attacked by demon dogs > told not to do anything, and that her tome has come, by Oliver (one of the settlement members who found them originally) > girl dies from her injuries despite the characters best efforts > they decide this place is fucked up and it's time to leave.

She can do mind reading, beast friend, and darkvision. She's not much of a threat. For now.
But I agree. I figured they would either kill her right off or keep her as a prisoner in which case she would advance the story. If she died I would've just had the cultists show up a different way.
I didn't expect this one guy to stab her vertebrae and leave her dying of an infection with plans to "give her a new life" in their village.

Conclusion
> PCs decide to leave > their friend among the cult offers to escort them out by the tunnels > Josephine is waiting, says the girl,will only slow them down, and they will have to leave her and come back for her when the roads are,clear > PCs say fuck no > firefight ensues > Josephine gets her leg blown off > they kidnap her and drag her into the tunnels along with crippled girl > have an idea where to go next but I am curious as to Veeky Forumss opinion.
