D&D Side Quest Prompt
A little girl is trying desperately to find some adventurers to save her pet bunny. She has just stolen some money from her mother and offers it to the group. She explains that her Bunny was kidnapped by an evil witch in the woods to be turned into stew (oh the horror!) and the party has to kill the witch to get the bunny back.
The party can go in guns blazing, kill the witch, and retrieve the rabbit.
If the party investigates, however, they learn the witch is actually a warlock and the bunny is currently, though some series of accidents, host to their patron. The warlock wants to free their patron and the party can choose to help or interfere.
If the party helps, they can either achieve and ending where the patron is freed from its adorable flesh prison and the bunny is safe, or the patron is freed but the poor bunny dies after the ritual.
If the party chooses to hinder, they could take the rabbit, free the patron and slay it, then return the pet to the little girl OR simply kill the rabbit and be done with it.

Rejoining of the Immortal Lovers
D&D Longterm Quest Idea
Ingredients:
1. A main hub of operations like a city or a gang hideout!
2. A party of traveling adventurers with good intentions in their souls and lots of places to visit!
3. Lots of places to visit!
The main crew, the gang, your lovely PCs, have a common home or base they return to between adventures. Within this base could be a wide array of things. Family members! Rivals! Their favorite tavern! A marketplace~! Etc... But the most important thing there (for the sake of this random tumblr idea) is the shop that contains The Immortal Lovers!!!
....At least one of them.
A random shopkeeper, maybe from a store that sells magical items from across the land, or maybe a tavern keeper that deals in the trading of secrets and information. Regardless of whoever they are, they’ve made shop in the place you’re located and have just one thing to ask of you once you’ve earned their trust.
“Please help me find the missing pieces of my love!! An odd request to be sure.
Through RP our group finds out that this NPC is actually immortal due to idunno blood sacrifice or something and their long lost love met an unfortunate fate so now due to probably blood sacrifices again their body was scattered Across the World!! Your party is tasked with this “BODY-PART FETCH QUEST” (maybe that should’ve been the title) that they can complete while they’re already out and about exploring the world. Kind of like the side getting all of the Korok seeds in Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild but instead of mystical seeds it’s some guy’s liver~~~
Now every time the characters search a dungeon, a graveyard, a mad scientist’s crazy mad science lab, they have a chance of finding a little piece of flesh or a limb that gives off the same glow as all of the other immortal parts they’ve found so far. They return home after completing a mission and carry the body parts back with them to give to the immortal lover, who offers something alluring in return~ Is it gold? Is it a cool weapon? Is it perhaps some Additional Spice?
Additional Spice: The Immortal Lover has been around for quite some time and has seen most of your Homebrew world (which is looking marvelous by the way, really love the lore behind it). Because of this, they might have snagged an heirloom of one of your PCs. A long lost Flute that was fabled to have belonged to the ancestor of that Goliath Bard in the party or maybe an enchanted set of armor baring the family crest of the Aarakocra Fighter. Whatever it is you think might push the plot forward, it’s gonna be hanging up on that immortal’s wall!
Additional Spice with a Lemon Twist: The Immortal Lovers are actually evil wizards that have engaged in naughty phylactery nonsense and what-have-you. Once you manage to locate the last piece, the other lover is fully resurrected and the two begin wreaking havoc on the world making your new mission to put them down once and for all.
This idea is for sale!! The cost, you must run it in your campaign, and tell me about it when you do! Happy Rollin~!!

Quest Twist
As the evening falls while traveling through the forest on your journey, the noise in the forest starts to grow. Your party comes across the warm light of an inn in the middle of the darkness of the forest.
Being exhausted you enter to the glowing welcome of the innkeep and a few older travelers. You decide to stay the night. The next
morning as your party prepares to depart, the doors open to a very different location than last night.
Welcome to the World Serpent Inn...
