ALL the players are fresh and never played a game before, much less a table top RPG.

It will be my bestfriend and his three oldest kids, plus maybe is wife and his father.

I plan on starting out within a small town with the plot of a necromancer(they don't know who or what they are doing) controlling goblins to kidnap people for rituals.

So they open to a tavern and meet there in the means of their own travels, going around the table introducing their characters(and getting used to talking in their character and sharing who they are) and when they are done, they will be interrupted by someone in the town(haven't decided who yet, maybe blacksmith for weapons as a reward) comes in and stats his daughter was dragged off by goblins.

They then interact with the guy, find out the direction they took her that way they can get used to tracking or investigating, going through the woods with a random encounter or two.

They will find an old forgotten temple that the goblins have taken over and inside there will be a couple traps(good way to learn about traps and checking for them) there will be a riddle to get a bonus item towards the end.

There will be a boss battle but the hooded figure(necromancer) will leave and leave someone else to fill the role of the boss battle.

If they lose the battle, the girl will be turned into a reanimated servant for the necromancer, if they win, the girl will tell them about the plot she over heard.

The next interaction will dependent of if she lives or dies.

If she lives, they will reunite with the father in a town square and they blacksmith pays the reward in a weapon or two and a few gold pieces that glow(more on this in a bit)

If she dies, the group will go to the tavern where the father is waiting, they tell them they could not save his daughter and he breaks down. Someone in the tavern yells out something among the lines of "if her father was a man, it would never have happened" to which he will attack the person and the person will cut time down. At that time, the tavern will grow cold and quiet. A woman enters the tavern and everyone is frozen by a spell. She walks to the tavern keep and says " as per our arrangement, one gold piece for a body" and drops a gold piece that glows. In comes the daughter with her throat slit and picks up her dead father and her and the necromancer walk out the door and disappear.

The necromancer needs bodies for a ritual and so she is having gold pieces spread that alerts her to a murder near by thus she can teleport and collect the body.

So what are your thoughts?

Also, if you would like to provide puzzles or riddles(with the answers) I would be greatly appreciative
