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 an absence of scruples collecting the returns.

The Dona is offering a bounty of 500 shillings for the return - dead or alive - of her absconded husband Don Alonso Garza. Whatever happens, he must not fall into the hands of the Church. For their part, the Church want him on a charge of necromancy, and have dispatched one of their own, the indefatigable halfling inquisitor Sister Ignacia de Laguna and her enforcers to bring Don Garza into custody.

Complicating matters for everyone, the wily Don Garza has skipped the border into the war-torn, pox-riven Ruins, where the Church, and any authority more removed than the point of a sword, has no practical sway.

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 the mercenaries left in their wake.
