Greetings reader,
‘Tis I---Falliren Rytelus, the most colorful knight of the Reach, faithful lieutenant of the Ember Swords! Our knightly order is dedicated to the cleansing of the corporeal form after one’s passing. Cremation safeguards the body from the curse of undeath, and as such, we must eradicate necrophages! After all, ‘tis an honorable duty to end the suffering of these tortured souls who are denied the peace of eternity.
The other day, I was dutifully prosecuting this objective by stalking a platoon of war-wanderers. Although a far cry from their original selves, they remember only basic responsibilities from their time as soldiers. Mindlessly they have established camp as if on campaign, guarding the ruin and a rather large stockpile of loot.
Cunning as I am stunning, I hatched a clever ploy to eliminate the many necrophages. Douse them in flammable oil whilst they slumber! This way, the loot could be retrieved without a struggle and the undead would find liberation. I employed my stealth expertly and weaved through the encampment without raising an alarm, bathing all the sleeping souls in flammable oil. Unfortunately, I spent too much time admiring the jewels from the booty-pile and an owl--of all bloody things--alerted the war-wanderers. Quite unlucky, perhaps I’ve been cursed by a witch… I fled the premises without setting them on fire lest I destroy the loot.
But that’s where you come in, dear reader. The Ember Swords need a few individuals of a sneaky-disposition to set fire to the necrophages! Furthermore, you may keep the booty they’ve amassed! But here’s the catch; do not immediately set them on fire IF you want the gold! It is necessary to sneak through the encampment to collect the booty, and only then must you set fire to them. I’ve already performed the hard work of dousing them all in oil and preparing the encampment for sabotage, YOU just need to finish the job! It will come with heavy disappointment to know that yours truly is unable to accompany you. I have made plans for tea and as a knight, I cannot rescind my promises!

OOC: an event meant for stealthy, dexterous characters. Basically, Falliren has found an encampment of undead who are guarding some loot. He’s already doused them in oil while they slept with the plan of grabbing the booty and setting them on fire as he left, but it was foiled. Players have to sneak through the camp, grab the loot, and then set fire to the necrophages as they leave without raising the alarms. If you fail and find that the alerted enemies are too hard to fight, you may just set them on fire and leave without the gooold. Base reward for doing quest, success or failure: 20 crowns. If you succeed and grab the loot: another 40 crowns! There will also be loot items of a regular quality. There’s a lot more details to be given but I saved that for when the roster is formed, dont wanna have a super long post describing everything.
3 players ideally, MAX 4. This is a combat event but I am a nice DM I promise. I only foresee death being a possibility if you go out of your way to be overly dangerous.
