My C&C scenario is approved for Friday night (event #15). Still awaiting approval for Saturday night.
The Band of Half-Brothers and the Soothsayer’s Sanctuary
You’re one of The Band of Half-Brothers, an adventuring company with only one requirement: be a half-orc. Are you a hero? HA! None of the Half-Brothers could be accused of that crap. What a stupid way to get yourself killed! The Half-Brothers are opportunists with a keen awareness of their collective and personal self-interests with loyalty only to The Band. Though not heroes, the Half-Brothers embody the “All for One and One for All” mindset sans the charm and fashion sense of other companies…
The most recent opportunity to come to the attention of the Band of Half-Brothers involves the fiefdom of Sanctuary. The Lord of Sanctuary, Theophrastus von Richtoven, has not been seen by his subjects since the beginning of spring when he traveled his lands to offer good tidings for a successful growing season. Rumors are circulating that His Lordship and family abandoned the people. Some say they’ve been abducted. Some say worse things. Whatever the case may be, His Lordship’s tower appears to be deserted; no traffic comes and goes, no men patrol the wall, and no fire smoke issues forth. His Lordship’s tribute will soon be due to The Count. If His Lordship fails to send what is due, The Count will investigate. Now seems the opportune time for some investigation of your own. A nobleman’s deserted tower should make for an easy score…
The event is set for 5 players. I used the PHB 8th printing and Adventurers Backpack* for the pre-gens which include: Archer*, Assassin, Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Fighter, Monk, Ranger, Thief*, and Wizard so the players can mix-and-match to build the party as they see fit.
