I'm writing up an Eberron campaign in which the PC's will be debt collectors for House Kundarak, ignoring that they usually only loan to other house members or other exceptions, functioning more like a normal bank.
So far for scenarios, I kind of stole the scenario from the "Ballroom Blitz" thread in which the PC's are to collect a debt from a wealthy nobleman who lives in the country outside of Sharn who took out a loan for some expensive spell components. The components were to summon a creature that promised him all sorts of power and wealth, and it eventually devoured him. The PC's show up to his manor and there is a ball in session. The servants tell them to partake in the activities while they wait for the master of the house. Eventually the illusion wears off and everyone they've been interacting with are actually corpses and all of the food is rotten and maggot-ridden.
Also, there's an Innsmouth-style scenario in which the PC's are to collect a debt from a hotel owner in a middle-of-nowhere fishing town. The locals are pretty much all rednecks who worship The Dragon Below. The owner tells them he almost has all of the money, but needs one more day to get the last bit. Naturally, he's trying to hold the PC's over night so he can rally the locals to capture them as sacrifices for Khyber.
Finally, I have a scenario that isn't completely fleshed out, but they are to collect from an elderly woman who lives in New Cyre whose husband is dead, she is terribly sick and has to provide for 3 children.
Pretty much, just looking for some input and adventure hooks for some debt-collection adventures.
