The Story So Far
The recent adventures in the game will be recounted here, both for the benefit of new players and those who want a recap of their endeavours.
What began as a whisper of corruption in the Ravensford Cheese Board has erupted into a full-blown criminal investigation. After joining the Worshipful Company of Mercenaries and founding their own band within it, our heroes took on two seemingly unrelated quests: one from the City Watch to investigate dangerous muddrake attacks, and another from a charismatic actor named Lucan Holimion, who claimed to need a giant crocodile skin, but in truth sought illicit muddrake eggs, no questions asked.​
Suspicious of Lucan’s motives, the group dug deeper, alerting Captain Alira Wren of the City Watch and uncovering rumours of a brutal pit-fighting ring operating beneath The Scarlet Wren Inn. Through clever deception, including using fake muddrake eggs crafted by a professor at Ravensford University, they laid the groundwork to infiltrate the ring. Meanwhile, a sewer expedition led them to a hidden Second Flight hideout, where they discovered disturbing evidence tying the criminal syndicate to the Prism Theatre and The Scarlet Wren itself.
Their plan to expose the ring was bold: pose as fighters, gamblers, and infiltrators. During the chaos of a rigged pit fight, the party unleashed the monstrous contenders to create a stampede, seized more evidence, and captured a key figure; Brandon Lurd of the Cheese Board. The City Watch now holds him in custody, while the party holds a trove of incriminating documents, including a ciphered ledger which may link payments to shady contractors and mercenaries... some even suspected to be from their own guild.
But the plot runs deeper. A letter suggests plans to sabotage the upcoming Brightmoon Faire, a magical festival of great importance. And while Lurd is behind bars, corrupt allies remain at large, including within the very guild the heroes call home. With only days before the Faire begins, the clock is ticking.
