D20 Intervention: The Rescue by Reynolds
Jones. What a bunch you are -- every one of you some sort of criminal
- a thief, a heretic, a murderer, a scofflaw. OK, that may not quite measure
up - but anyway. Still, you aren't about to be put to death, instead you
are seated in a room in the royal palace of Canberry - waiting to be briefed
by some member of the Archducal Council on a mission. A mission only folk
like you can accomplish. Better do it, otherwise you never know what will
happen if you don't - besides, there is talk of a reward. This event was
originally run at Anonycon 2009. Tables of 4 to 6. Old Style RPGA scoring.
The Rule Set being used is d20. This event is heavy on role-playing.

Intervention: The Glorious Light by Reynolds Jones. As Aphonion struggles
toward a new dawn -- shuddering as it completes the absorbing of the refugees
from the Confederacy of the South Kingdoms on continent Drucien and the East
Shore on continent Khamista, and shaking as it grimly regains lost territory
and combats the Taint and the servants of Shadow on all three continents;
the servants of Light are the largest of the players in the ongoing combat.
Light, unlike Darkness, is not unified however. The temple of Glor'diadel:
The Lord of Light encompasses the largest group of followers on the planet,
and is the preeminent religious force overall; however, Sytry: Ruler of Golden
Purity also has his followers. Far, far smaller than the temple of Glor'diadel,
the temple of Sytry is still world-spanning, and full of faith -- faith that
some might say goes the extra mile, and others might say goes too far. Now,
on southern Khamista, in the interest of purification, an army of Sytry's
followers, led by members of His most dedicated order of Paladins, the Knights
of Truth, have taken a small, unaligned kingdom by force. The Kingdom --
Lar Mena - was a nation of gnomes, halflings, and prosaic humans, now it
is occupied, with its most prominent citizens and leaders taken by force
to Holy Cortose - Sytry's holy city - for trial and possible execution. You
are a member of a diplomatic task group, sent by the temple of Glor'diadel
and other members of the Ecumenical Council of Faiths to observe the trials,
and make certain that the prisoners are treated with dignity and accorded
their sapient rights. You have been directed to attempt to rescue them, if
the offenses against them seem too egregious and the charges appear to be
false. Here in Holy Cortose, your airship tied at berth outside the city,
you are alone - and your mission is desperate. Tables of 4 to 6. Old Style
RPGA scoring. The Rule Set being used is d20. This event is heavy on
role-playing.
