Role-Playing
  • FCS Gaming League: Intercept Course [D&D 3rd Edition] (Christopher J. Ford)
    A package is being delivered to King Valor and it must reach its destination on time or all could be lost. Though the king has passed on, he had been told that someone was hired to stop the delivery and recover the package. The Merchants Guild needs you to make sure that the plan still succeeds. You have a map with the three most likely paths that the hired guns will take. You know the beginning point and destination of the caravan. Your job is to intercept the hired guns before they encounter the caravan and capture them if you can, take them out if you have to. For this you will receive 1,000gp each. The award of a ring key will go to those teams that bring back useful information and evidence as to who hired the bandits. Maximum Registration: 8 Teams. It is recommended that League characters be generated ahead of time. You are NOT required to be a League member to play. Pregenerated characters will be available for those who need them.
