Campaign Prompt

Location/World: A sprawling medieval kingdom, with towering stone castles, winding cobblestone streets, and bustling marketplace squares. The architecture has an ornate, Gothic style, with soaring cathedrals and intricate monasteries. The countryside beyond the city walls is dotted with rolling hills, dense forests, and the occasional dragon's lair. Magic and mysticism pervade the land, with wizards, elves, and other fantastical creatures existing alongside the human populace.

Theme: Superhero

Tone: The tone has a grand, epic quality, with a sense of chivalry, heroism, and the weight of destiny. There is an underlying current of darkness and danger, as the superhero must contend with powerful sorcerers, ancient curses, and mythical beasts that threaten the kingdom. However, the tone also carries notes of wonder, imagination, and the inspiring power of the superhero to overcome impossible odds.

Goal: The superhero protagonist's primary goal is to defend the medieval kingdom and its people from the forces of evil that seek to plunge the land into chaos and ruin. This may involve battling twisted necromancers, rogue knights, or even dragons themselves. The hero must also navigate the complex political and social dynamics of the kingdom, forging alliances, uncovering conspiracies, and making difficult choices that impact the fate of the realm. Ultimately, the superhero's actions will determine whether the kingdom endures or falls to the darkness.

The Curious Case of the Missing Masquerade Ball
Adventure Background

The Kingdom of Eldoria is famous for its annual Masquerade Ball, a night where magic is not only tolerated but celebrated. From flamboyant illusions to harmless enchantments, the festivities are a chaotic display of Eldoria's unique brand of arcane talent. This year, however, the magic seems to have gone missing!

The adventure revolves around Pip, a bard whose reputation for embellishment precedes them. Pip claims to have witnessed the Grand Duke's prized Masquerade Mask, imbued with powerful illusion magic, stolen moments before the grand ball. The problem? Pip is notorious for stretching the truth, and their frantic ramblings leave the authorities skeptical.

The PCs are approached by a bubbly and exasperated royal emissary. Tasked with retrieving the mask and ensuring the Masquerade Ball's success, they must navigate Pip's fantastical—and potentially fabricated—account of the events.
