I... have no experience with this sort of thing.
[a small laugh]
Knights and thieves and undead sorcerers? It sounds like quite a group.
What are they saving the world from?

Why do you put up with such a slob? She can't be paying you enough for that crap.
[swings the sword again, then goes to rummage around for something to serve as a helmet]
Not forces of darkness, because I think that would hurt Nightshade's feelings. And not a dragon, because Waldemar is nice and that might hurt his feelings. What about a country of magical giants?

I'm an extension of Madam President's power. 'Pay' doesn't have much to do with it.
What? She created you to clean up her mess? That's just wrong.
Giants is fine with me. Mm, maybe a good deal of the story could deal with the group coming to trust and care for one another. And maybe... instead of killing the giants in the end, maybe they could make an effort to understand them and form an alliance.
[looks thoughtful]
And maybe they aren't certain that's the right thing to do, but their leader is forcing them to do so.

Ah, giants are too common. How about a force that is twisting the personalities of everyone? Making them someone they're not. And the group is out to bring back the people they cared for before they do things they regret. It adds more danger and excitement because the group would also have to worry about being infected themselves. And maybe they'd even have to bring back one of their own that got changed along the way. People love surprise drama like that.
[pauses]
Where does the force come from? How does it affect people?

That's the mystery the group has to find out. It could be related to one of their own or it could be something from their past.
Yeah? What else does she make you do?
Cooking and taking care of her team are also inside my duties, as well as whatever she needs within these games, sir.
Maybe something they found when they were younger. Supernatural stuff doesn't always have to have a direct cause. Maybe they can't defeat it so much as find ways to block its reach. Like, maybe people who are having trouble liking themselves for some reason are more susceptible. So it becomes a confidence and support issue.
Mm, and maybe one segment could be told from the giant's point of view, and they next from another? So we get to see both sides.
