So I have decided to hop into the roll of DM for the first time. I have an idea for a story in my own homebrew world which is already created. I have the characters start on a ship, they are being transported as slaves, and their ship is attacked (1st time players, this will be an opportunity to try some combat.) They are given the opportunity to help defend the ship and gain their freedom or stay in the cells as a prisoner.
After fending off the attack they become members of the crew and are given duties on the ship. After a few days in game they encounter a fog that causes the ship to crash.
The players wake up on a beach with no idea where they are with remnants of this ship strewn about. They met a farmer who mentioned that a lord in the area was hoping to send a ship back to the mainland (where they are all from).
Now, the ending to the story I have as well, the lord says he wants to move his dead wife to the mainland where she is from to be burried in a family plot. However the players find out, once on the ship and away from the island, that the lord is in Fact a vampire and is using the shipping crates and the coffin to move himself from the small island to the larger mainland (very Bram Stoker, Dracula like). This in turn starts a vampire epidemic that causes the vampire war and thus the worlds destruction. Though the PCs do not find out the final piece until a later game.
My issue is that I am not sure what to fill the middle portion of the story with. What quests the go on etcetera. Any ideas are appreciated, thanks in advance!
