Narrative Campaign, Sat March 11 South Bend, IN

[ckucharski12]

This is a 3 round narrative driven campaign following the campaign rules printed in the shifting loyalites book. It is highly recommended you read through the campaing rules and the information below before the event as crew hiring is very different. In essence, you create an arsenal that is used as a hiring pool for each game. The first round arsenal will be 35ss henchman led, while the remaining two rounds will build upon the previous round's arsenal and contain a master. Reference material will be available March 11. If you have specific questions you want answered before the event, feel free to ask!

Round 1 Scenario:

A wanderer sits down next to you in this dusty all but forgotten watering hole. Unbidden the barkeep puts a sour smelling ale down in front of him. You can’t make out his face under his filthy hood. After an uncomfortable silence a pale blue veined hand with dirt-caked, unkempt fingernails slides a greasy sheet of parchment toward you.

“Power comes to those who seek it.”

You reach for the paper and find his palm turned upward resting on the parchment. Reluctantly you quickly glance around the bar, reach into your satchel and produce a small glowing stone which you quickly place into his palm. Wordlessly he stands up and leaves.

Being certain nobody is watching you unfold the parchment. Inside you find a map. Clues leading to something, something powerful. But it is incomplete. You need more. And you have an idea where to get it.

Doubtlessly they won’t be easy to get. But you’ve come to know where some texts are hidden. They’ll be guarded. However there is no other way. Hopefully you can get enough information to put the rest of the clues together before your rivals can.

Time to gather the crew and set out.

Round 2 Scenario:

Through force or guile you’ve managed to piece together enough information to find the relic of old Malifaux referred to as The Tyrant’s Eye. It’s grimly fuelled by the souls of the dying. Thankfully you suspect your rivals will make worthy sacrifices.

As if that were not enough. Your raid on the forbidden texts has drawn the attention of a master of soulstone. A letter telling as much just arrived. Frankly you can’t refuse their offer to help. Doubtlessly they have their own agenda and while it pains you to share the spoils, this may just be the edge you need.

Time to meet up with your new patron, and head out to the site of the artifact. Fate awaits.
