What situations are there in which one character absolutely needs the help of another?
I'm currently writing a fantasy story set in a medieval setting. It features two travelers. Let's call them A and B. I need a situation where A finds himself in a situation where A absolutely needs help from B. A shouldn't be unconscious, and if you have an idea for an injury or illness, it should be something from which one can recover quickly (virtually overnight).
By the way, A travels through a forest through very rough terrain.
So about I would write that, good luck 🍀
Depending on what these figures are, it is a princess and a knight then she may need help in the form that the knight must save her
or is it a princess and a servant, we may hold the princess, and the servant will help her escape (of course also goes around differently)
How does it make a difference whether a princess needs the help of a knight or a simple traveler from another traveler?
Well, my answer was about who can help like someone, because the figure is already a role for me. There are different types of help
Now the princesses don’t always stand as such defenseless creatures that always need a strong knight on their side….
Oh, that’s clear, but in the example it only wanted to clarify with people, otherwise I shouldn’t have written otherwise.
I mean, it doesn’t matter who the travellers are. As a knight can save a princess, a village drum can save a executioner.
Don’t understand what you’re talking about
Yeah, and that’s exactly why I’m asking here to find out different ways. But you’re quite answering a question that is “What kind of situation could A come in where he needs the help of B.” “A knight could save a princess or a servant,” because a traveler can’t retrace another traveler.
So this isn’t with password, but A could have been kidnapped and B’s gonna save him. So A gets everything and B saves him.
A could be caught in a trap.
A could just run.
A could also be attacked by bandits or by a wild animal.
A could be affected by a poison.
A drops in the sump and cannot free itself.
A could be affected by a spell (if there is magic in history)
