The Edge
First Post
At the begining of a campain. One player had came a good hour or two early to help with something, and I decided he could do a bit of solo stuff before the others arrived. His rogue character was suposed to be the one greeting the other PCs to the city, and was going to act as a kind of guide for his buddys who hadn't been here before.
He for some reason decided he wanted to see the mayor at his keep. The old woman at the desk would have none of it and after he pushed his luck she called the guards. To my surprise he ran Into the keep and this crazy chase followed. I had the hard job of figureing out how to run it, which involved deciding what was behind each door as he came too each room. He stole the cutlery, freed a prisoner for no reason, bribed a cleaner, stole a painting, disguised him self in a nobles clothes, started a rumour that he was somewhere else with a hostage, claimed he was a duke to another guard (in a country where the monarchy had been removed 300 years earlier), got onto the battlements, absaled part way down the outer wall, and shouted something at the mayor through his window. The guards came to the top of the wall where his rope was tied and demanded he came up imediately (which would follow with an arrest). Not wanting to be caught he jumped uncontroled down to the river (the keep being on a little island in the river), took 9 points of nonleathal damage as he smacked hard onto the water and drowned unconcious. :\
In what little 'plan' he had made about his vist, this was not part of it.
I then had the other players wandering around the city wondering whatever had happened to Davos.
