Oh, no, no! I mean that small towns are generic in a GOOD way! Though I'm not too keen on rescue; we've already got that going on in the Kidnapped! RPG. I came up with something interesting last night when I was half-asleep; it's pretty basic but it can make for something VERY interesting:
Despite the taking back of Isengard by Gondor, Fangorn Forest has suffered much since the War of the Ring. The trees have become more malicious than ever, killing even men, and the Ents grow ever more sparse. They have retreated deep into the forest and don't know of the terrors that have happened. Fangorn is almost impossible to come out of alive now.
The king visits Isengard. He hears of what has happened in Fangorn and summons warriors from all around to find out and vanquish the problem.
....we could have Ents, mortals, anyone as characters! And Radagast might even be a little more in character; he'll be more at home. Please don't immediately give a yes or no, I want to hear some different ideas!
