[QUOTE="Iconik, post: 5403347, member: 92708"] For session 27 of my ongoing campaign Collapse Under the Empire, I've decided to do something a little different. And I need your help. First, a quick rundown of the immediate story. The party finds themselves walking through the Vestra Steppes on their way to the majestic city of Vestral. A shining beacon of hope amid the harsh deserts of Chyrna. Once in the city the party is ushered over to an emaciated, old woman that states she feels the power of their greatness and offers to do a reading. The reading proves her suspicions and tells them to seek out a Sister of Athun who has forseen their coming. You see..the great city of Vestral has always been a monarchy of sorts. The same family has run Vestral for generations with relative success. Thirty years ago, with the help of some dastardly nobles that had been turned, a new family rose to power and ousted the ruling Imiri Family. There's more but I don't want to bore you to death. So, the party is going to be tasked with finding the last surviving member of the Imiri family who was only 3 years old at the time. He grew up in the Rat District of Vestral, left the city when the new ruling family ordered the Rat District razed. Many were put into slavery. Imiri was 17 at the time and was forced into being a gladiator. He left the city as a gladiator and didn't return until 4 years later. At this point the Rat District revolted and in the confusion the gladiators rose up and were able to escape. Imiri being one of them. Basically, Imiri has been living his life out as a poor person among the throng of faces of Vestral. A second culling was ordered and Imiri was captured once again and put to work in the Slough Mines outside of the city. How do you guys handle things like this? I'd like the party to have fun investigating, asking questions, cross referencing stories, rumors and digging for information. What kind of skills would be great for this and how would you handle them? Apologize for the long post. [/QUOTE]
