GUARDS! GUARDS!
...So here is the deal my friend, you just saw something you weren’t suppose to, something big. I don’t know exactly what it was but now some of the most powerful men and women in this country wants your head, but let’s back up and explain what’s going on...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The year is 476 but that doesn’t really matter to you, since this isn’t Earth history, and the number only indicates the years it has been since the destruction of a massive Empire that used to span the continent of Pralta, but even that is a bit out of your scope. Why it collapsed has been a subject of debate, be it evil emperors and heroes, mysterious wizards or simple politics (simple.. pfft); Either way, you live in the Republic of Relunski, once the heartlands of the old Praltic Empire.
I’m not sure what you are doing there, perhaps a displaced noble or knight from the west neighboring Kingdom of Jarlton, maybe a local thief, or even one of those mysterious magic users that often hide so secretly in the forests that border the Newly formed Kingdom of Drun to the East… I suppose it doesn’t matter, since you are here in this realm of light fantasy, vague magic and high medieval aesthetic, and you just got hired.
But enough of this backdrop, here is the run-down, you were persuaded to do a heist by a concerned politician of Relunski, (not very uncommon in the Republic) be it for gold or honor, that’s up to you and your sense of morals, however the job was botched and you somehow ended up being an unfortunte witness to an unspeakable crime… and to make matters worse, the criminals happened to be high enough to write you name on every sheet of bounty paper from the forests of Drun to the cities of Jarlton, north to the Herald's sea and south to the riverlands of Inaldia. Point is: you’re on the lamb, and what happens next is up to you and those also roped into this mess that might define the future of the entirety of Pralta, and your own head.

I will be accepting five players to join in on this escapist adventure of political intrigue and high action set in a classical medieval romp of swords and splendor. Those accepted will be added to a discord channel, and if garnered enough attention I will make a helpful map.
The RP will start with you being hired for the heist, and we will play through until you escape the scene of the crime, bounty’s high, and from there this adventure will take a more sandbox feel as the fate of all rests in the groups incapabl- very capable hands. As the GM I will be taking a light approach and only nudging here and there with my own characters, and setting scenes while the ultimate choices (and protagonists) will be in the hands of the player.
To be considered for acceptance, please fill out the Character sheet and PM it to me while also stating interest in this thread. I will include a fun little optional questionnaire at the end of the CS that should be filled out in character. This is optional, but helps with the decision process and finding a cohesive group of heroes/...villains!?
Well, I hope to see some interest!
