Vincent, a particularly
hateful and ambitious lowly clerk, is plotting to get a promotion. It doesn't
hurt that his boss, a merchant by the name of Horrum, is a thieving,
double-crossing, pompous ass. Vincent
has sprinkled rumors in the tavern hoping to find an interested group of
adventurers. He knows Horrum is planning
on selling to a new evil cult. Vincent
knows adventurers hate evil cult. It
couldn’t have worked out better.
This low-level encounter is definitely geared toward a fun
role-playing opportunity. You’ve got a
loud mouth merchant with a few guards and a friend who is a low-level mage with
a Sleep spell, dealing with a pair of new evil cult guys who are trying to get
their evil machinations started. No one
is a killer here. Horrum, while an awful
person, doesn’t have the stone to kill anyone or order someone killed. If Jyvr sleeps the party, Horrum gives them
to the evil cult. Who in turn are happy
for it, but after a while not sure what to do with them.
Enjoy the Clerk of Vindicta everyone. Let me know if you use it in your game. I’d love to hear about it.
