Town of the Damned (a Fleaux Adventure)
Recruitment Thread | [XX/ OOC] | [XX// IC]
Washed up in Fortaleza, prosperous trading city and dwarf fortress of the Viriathean Empire, a likely crew of ne'er do wells are released from the city's dungeon to aid the influential Dona Isabella Garza, a spooky elven member of the gentry with a reputation for shrewd investments and with few scruples collecting the returns.
As well as freedom, a bounty of 500 shillings is promised for the return - dead or alive- of the Dona's absconded husband Don Alonso Garza. The authorities want him on a charge of necromancy, but given he's skipped the border into the war-torn, pox-riven Ruins, their appetite to pursue him has reached its apparent limits. Not so his wife, hence the bounty.
So here the heroes are, a few days inside the border of Ruin where life is cheap, short and miserable, riding down Don Garza's trail as he flees to a town called Staufen, recently host to a retreating mercenary army in the pay of who knows anymore and dealing with the plague they left in their wake.
