Hilltop rescue! (Barius hill)
-A bard starts at the top of the hill, with panthers on either side. The party would start in one of the corners near where you start in the story mission (I think this is west). The panthers on either side are on separate teams, as though they are fighting to eat the bard. All of the panthers are random spawn, so 4 panthers on one side, 5 on the other, and a bard at the top (the bard would be a part of the player team).
If the players rescue the bard, he would have a chance to join the party. I don't know if that would make you want to force the brave/faith or just leave it random.
