[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 8693919, member: 52734"] Ghost Tower of Inverness starts with this, assuming that the characters being spoken about are the PCs: [spoiler] [TABLE] [TR] [TD]A smile creeps across the Duke's face as he speaks to your small band. He seems strangely pleased with the turn of events. "I imagine you are wondering why you have been brought to appear before me today."

"Most of you," he continues, "have been convicted of crimes for which you should spend the greater part of your lives in my dungeons." His gaze falls upon one of your party, a thin man with a short black beard. "Hodar," he begins, "you dared to defy a royal order and continued to dabble in sorceries which I had forbidden to all the people of my realm." Hodar's face remains calm as the Duke turns to the next of your group.
