What could be a good (and plausible) reason for a neutral evil character to become loyal to another character, without the alignment of self-interests?

It can be difficult for a Neutral Evil character to become truly loyal to another character without the alignment of self-interests, as their nature tends to be focused on achieving their own personal goals and desires. However, there are a few plausible scenarios that could lead to this type of loyalty:

1. A shared history or personal connection: If the Neutral Evil character has a shared history or personal connection with the other character, such as growing up together or going through a traumatic experience together, they may feel a strong sense of loyalty to them based on that bond.

2. A common enemy: If the Neutral Evil character and the other character have a common enemy that threatens both of their interests, they may form a temporary alliance that develops into a more genuine loyalty over time.

3. A powerful charismatic leader: If the other character is a charismatic leader who is able to inspire and manipulate the Neutral Evil character, they may develop a sense of loyalty to them based on their belief in the leader's cause or ideology.

4. Mutual benefit: If the other character is able to provide the Neutral Evil character with something they want or need, such as power, wealth, or information, they may become loyal to them in order to continue receiving those benefits.

Overall, it is important to remember that a Neutral Evil character is primarily motivated by their own self-interests, so any loyalty they develop is likely to be conditional and based on what the other character can offer them.

Haunted Forest Encounter Generator

They walk through the darkening forest. The bare branches are reaching towards them as they scramble through. The wind whistles through the trees and they hear faint words being spoken. They come to a bare patch of ground that is clear of bushes and brambles. Across the clearing is a crumpling ruin that looks quite ancient. Long-forgotten gods crumble at the entrance and the name of a long dead emperor is etched above the door. When they enter they hear scratching sounds. The walls are covered in unknown languages that could be invitations or warnings. Deeper into the winding ruins the scratching sounds become louder. Long dead humans begin to scramble toward them. The skin has fallen from their faces, their bodies are decaying, and they are covered in tattered shrouds. The monsters mouth soundless screams and begin to give chase. Simply saying a forest is haunted is not enough. A DM must give details that pull their players into the scene so that they can picture smelling the tre...

A young brother and sister find an old door in their basement that wasn't there before....

The discovery of an old door in the basement that wasn't there before sparks a multitude of potential narratives, each with its own blend of mystery, adventure, and the supernatural. Here's a creative direction one might take with such a premise: Under the dim basement light, a brother and sister stood before an ancient door that creaked with untold secrets. It was a peculiar thing, ornate and edged with strange symbols that seemed to dance in the shadows. The basement, their usual play haven, had transformed overnight into a chamber of mysteries. "Had this always been here?" the sister whispered, her voice barely above the sound of their synchronized heartbeats. Her fingers traced the cool, iron handle that felt like ice against the warmth of her palm. The brother, older by a year yet equally wide-eyed, shook his head. "No way. Dad would've noticed it when he put the Christmas decorations away, right?" He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, ...
