I had an idea for another mini-quest that I believe would be interesting to add.

Forgive me if someone has already posted a similar suggestion to this.

Also I have read the FAQ, what not to post etc. and this may or may not conflict with the following rule

Can you make NPCs that lead other NPCs into battle / better hired unit AI / etc.?

However I do not think it should but it might and once again, forgive me if it does.

Anyway, what this mini-quest would entail is you talk to a random Orc/Gondorian or just a soldier from an allied faction and they say 'We could use help in this fight against X' or something along the same lines.

Note that the X refers to a randomly selected number of enemies from the opposing faction, and I know that this part should be easily done because it is similar to the 'Kill X number of enemies' mini-quest. For lag reasons due to have multiple mobs on screen at that given time I would reccomend there being less than 20 on either side (it is only meant to be a small battle anyway).

After you accept, a few allies may spawn to help you (they would be the same faction as the person who gave you the quest) and then however many enemies was detailed in the quest would spawn.

Once you have killed all the enemies you can talk to the same person who gave you the quest for a reward. Alternativly, if all your allies, including the quest-giver, dies then you can just run away as there is no way to recieve an award.

This may be difficult to do because of the fact it needs code to manipulate the spawning but I believe it should be possible and it does not require changing of the AI system already in Minecraft.

I know that this quest is similar to the afore-mentioned 'hunting quest', however I think that the added allies and the fact that all people you need to kill spawn there rather than having to hunt them down, provides enough differences as to be worthy of being a different mini-quest.

If this is not added, or is deemed unworthy of being added, then that is fine. I only believe this would be a fun little feature to add to the mod.
