The game was mostly free form as the DM made stuff up as he went and was good enough to hold it together and keep it really fun without being too silly. Our thief had, for the fun of it, snuck into the king's castle and wandered out with the (golden jewel encrusted) royal seal not even realizing what it was. Once news was spread around town that somebody had stolen the royal seal and the thief copped to it, the fighter decided he has to take it back. So he tried to break into the castle to return the seal and when that failed tried to just turn it over to some of the guards. There was a misunderstanding and they attacked despite his pleas. He ended up killing one of them before he ran away, still with the seal. My character, the bard, was looking for a job and found one. I was going to play for the queen no less. Seemed that the thieves who had stolen the seal had returned to the castle to retrieve it from where it was hidden and in escaping had killed her nephew while he bravely tried to stop them and she needed somebody to sing at the funeral. Things were getting deperate as they had a desription of our fighter and were chasing us around town with detection spells. I came up with a plan. We had and NPC thief with us who was much better than we were and I sent her to find somebody stupid and greedy enough to hold the seal for us without contacting them. Once found, I had the fighter approach the target and offer them a huge sum of money to hold the seal till the deal was done while making sure that the NPC thief was in the same tavern when the deal went down. That night, I sang at the queen's nephew's funeral and afterwards introduced my friend the NPC thief to the queen because she had overheard some information on the nephew's killer. We ratted out the stupid guy, they got the seal back, and we got the reward money which we split. We all bought horses and were leaving the city when the guard at the gate recognised the fighter and caught him. We went to a high level magic-user we knew and he snuck us into the dungeon and teleported us all into the wilderness just to get rid of us and end the ordeal. While wandering down the road we came across a group of dwarves being attacked by humanoids and we joined in to help them. We killed all the humanoids but they had manged to kill all the dwarves. We looked in the dwarves wagon and found a single crate with a carefully packed golden jewel encrusted royal seal inside. Seemed that the adventure had taken long enough (several weeks) that they had to order a replacement seal from the dwarves and this was it. We left it in the wagon and just kept walking down the road.</p></blockquote><p></p>
