A bit of a different pace this week where the focus isn’t on combat, espionage or survival but it finds the party Searching for Satanya. A NPC heavy week this week, which bodes well for tomorrow night, but it should provide a challenge regardless as the party begin searching for Satanya. But enough of that and let’s move on with tonight’s actual content!
So grab a coffee, hit the cobblestone and let’s search through tonight’s adventure!
The crowned princess Satanya has disappeared from the capital and the royals don’t want it to be known. So they hire reputable, well known adventurers to search for their daughter instead of raising suspicions in their court or in the courts of their enemies.
But this won’t be a walk in the park as Satanya has a gift that will make it nearly impossible to find her. Satanya is a shape changer and can change her appearance nearly at will, however her parents are confident that she is not untraceable as she has never spent much time outside of the castle. So the mission is simple, find the person that stands out among the crowd when they don’t want to be found. Prove they are the princess and then return her to the capital safely.
The catch, no one must know she is out as her life may be in danger.
Searching for Satanya

King Bach looked up at the adventurers in front of him as he rested his chin on his clasped hands. These were not famous heroes to this land but they had some renown. They were unlikely to be spotted immediately but their name and deeds had spread to the ears of his advisors so they must be good at their profession. Nodding he was satisfied that they were not the best, nor the worst and that they should both blend in and stick out of the crowd if needed.
“I see my advisers have found nothing but the best as I requested of them.” the king nodded to the man who had approached the party a few days ago. “I hope I can trust you with this information,” he paused to look to his wife – the queen, and the party one by one, “Our daughter has disappeared from the capital and we suspect she is in Corneth, or so that’s where the trail ended. Before you worry we don’t believe she is in danger but more so, she is rebelling against us since we named her our successor. She thought it would be her older brother but he.” the King paused.
“He is not our first choice.” the queen stepped in patting her husband’s hand.
“Precisely. We don’t wish to control her but as she is our successor, heir to the throne, and if the county’s enemies found out she was not protected, guarded or even being watched she and this country could be in danger. So that’s where we hope you can help. If we send out soldiers to sweep the streets, celebrations and taverns then it would draw suspicion. But a party of adventurers, well you’d fit right in. We can pay you handsomely for your efforts but you must be discreet, we don’t want her to be put into danger but we want her to feel like she can still enjoy her life.” The king continued for some time before falling silent, his face visibly showing his distress.
“The other complication my husband has not spoken of is a family secret, something that very few people know about and its known to just those in this room.” the queen, Isabella, continued. “Our Daughter Satanya is a shapeshifter. She was born with the ability to change her shape at will. With just a thought she can look like anyone else in this room. This makes it more difficult to locate her but not impossible. We know she is in Corneth by the way she is spending her coins. She is too liberal in spending her gold and there are rumours of several rich people paying three times the requested amount at several shops, taverns, inns and the like. We believe all these nobles to be her, so…” she paused to take a breath. “Follow the rumours and find our daughter before someone else does, convince her to come back and make sure no harm comes to her.”
Another big week coming up and this week we have many NPCs to come up with and some more drama to write up. So don’t forget to come back each day as we continue to ramp up this weeks adventure and, as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
