The Story

It was supposed to be a simple campaign to boost the popularity of Darragh of Kelm, Prince Regent of the realm. Darragh came to power due to his father’s recent sickness and although he was gifted with the sword, the citizens of Kelm did not put much faith in the spoiled little princeling, who has built himself a reputation as an incorrigible womanizer and braggard. Seeing as there had not been any wars to earn a name for himself in recent years, Darragh thought it a great idea to take the King’s cavalry to “clean out” Kelm’s wild hinterland. The locals have petitioned the Prince for a while now, warning that the bands of Goblins nesting in its ancient forest “Clara” have grown more aggressive. Rumours of them amassing an army have been spreading like wildfire. As a show of force, the Prince mobilized his knights to camp outside Clara. First scout reports confirmed the rumours, warning of a small warband of goblins moving in on the camp and arriving in about 7 days’ time. Not further questioning the Goblins’ possible motivation, Darragh ordered his knights to secure the camp and wait for the Goblins to arrive. As a concession to his spymaster, he also sent out a small scout team to keep an eye on the warband’s advance. At that point, he probably didn’t realize, that the kingdom’s survival would depend on them completing their mission.

In this 3 – 8-hour adventure, a party of 4th to 5th level characters is hired to spy on an encroaching Goblin warband. Yet, before they can even begin their assignment, they make a horrible discovery. Kelm’s survival now depends on bringing this knowledge back to Darragh through a deadly “Deep Night Chase”.
