I’m looking for some inspiration for a plot I’ve been running in the background for some time now, and it’s now to really start.
In the second session of my campaign my players rescued a group of mice, which was hiding from a young skunk between Mapleharbor and Sandmason. The group was the Mayer of Buchflow and three of his mice heading for Sandmason, whit a lot of money, to buy different glass objects back to Buchflow.
The patrol gets rid of the skunk and gets the group safe to Sandmason.
After the 6th session (a in-game week later) a second in command, Abb, from Oakgrove tells them about this horrible thing that happened in Buchflow:
“Last fall the Mayers adviser never came back from a trip to the woods, and a quite new mouse in town took his place. His name was Birk. Many liked him, and some said he was related to the Mayers, somehow or something. During the winter the Mayer became very ill, and Birk had to take the role as Mayer. Birk ordered that none could see the Mayer, so others wouldn’t be infected.
At the first day of proper spring Birk took all the coins and valued stones from the treasure trove, and left whit his three friends! He took everything! They have no value to buy food or anything!” Abb holds his breath and look around to mark the point. “And on top of this some wild mice are stealing from their food reserve!
After Birk left, Buchflows mice found the old Mayer poisoned in his camper. He was still alive, but the healers of Buchflow could do nothing to help him.” Abb looks down for a moment, and looks then strait at the leader. “You must find his traitor! Buchflow has nothing before it gets their values back, and you never know what such a horrible mouse will do to other parts of the territories.”
The hunt has now started, and the patrol track Birk to Port Sumac, where he has settled.
I have a lot of ideas to why he did it, but I’m not all satisfied with the result yet, so I would like a second point of view. E.g. is to help someone else, is he just selfish, where the money actually his from the beginning (or does he just think so), or, or, or?
Just for the record: We are playing next time the 12th of May, where they stay to face him.
Thank you all for a lot of great inspiring missions-posts! :D
And sorry for any misspelling!
