Message: <blockquote data-quote="Silver Moon" data-source="post: 452581" data-attributes="member: 8530">Complex PlotSounds very similar to one that I've started working on myself.  It will be called "League of Assassins", and the basic plot is as follows:  The local Lord has decided to build a hospital in his capital city.   To raise the funds he has decided to auction off a collection of around 20 unique jewelry and gems, some of them magical, that he recently came across in a secret chamber within his castle.   Many of these items have unique history, and all have been out of circulation for at least 60 years (they had been collected by a previous Lord of the castle, who is unrelated to the current Lord).The items have nearly all now been identified and their histories researched.   One hundred wealthy kings, emperors, nobles and other aristocrats from through out the globe have been invited to this auction (each paying 2,000 GP just for the opportunity to attend).    These nobles and their entourages have now begun to arrive in the city, many booking entire Inns for their stay.   Nearly all of these people have their own political histories, enemies, etc.  The local Thief & Assassins Guild has also recently learned that the "International League of Assassins (ILA)" has also come to town for their annual convention.    Each member assassins guild has sent "their best".   The local guild has been excluded from the meeting (their 'best' having been sent to the opposite side of the globe on a 'red herring' put out by the ILA) as they would have an unfair advantage knowing the city.   All that the local guild has discovered is that there are "three targets", a primary and two secondary, and that the auction has a major role in the ILA's objectives.The local adventurers have been hired as security for the auction.  They need to protect the items being auctioned, as well as try to figure out which of the guests are either assassins or targets.    Unbeknownst to them, one of the targets is also a member of their own group and another is a key NPC associate of theirs.   Should be fun, and is multi-layered with political intrigue, with the only major combat scenario being planned being the climax battle.   If this sounds like something you can use, feel free to take as much as you like.    I am still working on the details behind all of the magic items and guests, most of which I have appropriated from other places on the Internet (everyone's campaign seems to have their own political leader who can be borrowed as guests for this one).   For the auction perimeters I plan to use the same ones that I used during last year's "Chinese Take-out" campaign, which is currently posted on this board under "Story Hour" (In fact, the primary target also came out of that campaign).</blockquote>
