[QUOTE="Ilja, post: 4909943, member: 84300"] [I]A poet travels from village to village. At the light of fire, he tells tales of ancient wars, brave heroes and cruel deeds. His fingers dance over the strings of the lyre to bring out enchanting tunes, and his the songs that leave his lips will forever be etched in the memories of his audience. He travels through northern Consaber in the dying remnants of the late summer, staying at alehouses and inns where people flock around him. But his tunes attract people other than farmers and artisans too; soon armed men are seen in the villages he's passed. They ask, threatens, and bribes the inhabitants to make them tell everything they know about the troubadour and where he's heading. You have been employed by an organization to find this man, and find out why he's being hunted. Either you are members of the organization, or you are merely mercenaries hired by them. In the second case, you don't know much about your employers, except that the man who hired you looked both rich and powerful.[/I] This is a low-magic adventure/campaign I'm about to start.
