So here we are at another Tuesday where we are introduced to the gullible and the gambler in more detail. Tonight we meet Simon and Raff, the two protagonists or antagonists depending on how you see them. But the party will learn something very important this week that those who they work for may not always be trustable. So with that in mind let’s grab a coffee, buckle up and roll into the adventure!
The people of Berkshire
315TuTPeOBe
As we set up the adventure for this week we are introduced to the people of Berkshire tonight. But more to the point we are introduced to the leaders of the city, the Governor and the guard captain. However I hope to show that even great leaders can give the wrong order and get things wrong. Last night I gave you the first part of the adventure as our party attempt to take wolf ridge, and do so with ease. But, I have more, so much more in the words for this little town.
Governor Casey Dae
Although Casey wasn’t born to Berkshire he came in wanting to be integral to the little town. Having many of his business ventures in a larger city fail he escaped debt and persecution from those he owed money too and found his way to Berkshire. But while here the quiet life of working for someone wasn’t to his liking and he convinced the town to make him Governor. This was partly because of the friendship he formed with Luke, a retired military veteran who he instated as guard captain.
But his endeavours at becoming a governor weren’t all smoke and mirrors and with no competition he was able to grow the township and it expanded from a few households, a single inn and a general store to something a bit more. When the Tribe of the wolf who lived on the aptly named Wolf Ridge started to threaten the town he built up he quickly acted.
Luke Chard
A veteran from a military conflict some time ago Luke sought out the quiet life in Berkshire. However the war he fought in never quite left him and it drove him to drink and to squander away the meagre amount of money he had managed to save. That was until Casey arrived and gave him purpose.
Being captain of the growing guard of Berkshire gives him regimental discipline as well as the purpose of commanding the other guards. Under his guidance the guards are well respected and fair in their dealings. But, the level of control of the guards from Casey through Luke is something that is questionable.
Thoughts
Tonight I have purposely put both Casey and Luke as, somewhat well respected people. Neither of them are malicious or have ill intentions however both of them are the causation of the calamity of what will happen in Berkshire this week. But having these two work for the people of Berkshire will give us a solid foundation to build from.
I am excited to put the party in the same place with these two to give them a strong contrast from some of the other one shots. Having nothing Inheritantly wrong with them makes it hard for their actions to be questionable which further adds to the adventures intrigue.
Thanks for joining me for another NPC night, I hope you got some inspiration for your own adventures. Tomorrow I will bring the secondary plot hook and trigger to blog. And I can’t express how excited I am to bring it to life. So don’t forget to come back tomorrow to read what I come up with. Or for the rest of the week for that matter. And lastly, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
