[Megan Edwards]

Below are the IC summaries for the 2013 Corn Maze.  Please send an email to totn.cha...@gmail.com with which thread you wish to PC.  We will do our best to accommodate your preference, but may need to assign threads if the groups are too uneven in size.  If you do not have a preference, please say so and we will assign you to whichever thread needs more players.

As a note: the members of House Stone Lantern are being assigned to the thread in Northstar (Plot 1) unless they specify they wish to be on the other thread.  

Currently there are five players for Plot 1 and two for Plot 2.

********************************************

Plot 1:  Return to the Abandoned Fortress

A courier from Northstar has arrived int Tidepoint carrying a message from Master Bernhardt of the Explorers Society.  The courier has presented the letter, reading it for all in the tavern, then posting there for any to re-read at there liesure.  The letter say...  "To any and all travelers of an adventurous sort, I am Master Bernhardt of the Explorers Society.  I have an offer for any who share an inquisitive mind, a desire for exploration, or just a strong arm and a willingness to delve into the dangerous and unknown.  South of Northstar an ancient abandoned fortress was discovered.  Inside its outermost walls a great many mysteries of an age long past were found by bold adventurers who were working on behalf of the Explorers Society.  The path further into the fortress has been barred by dangerous traps and an impassible obstacle...until now.  The gates sealing the inner fortress from its outer walls has been destroyed, and the way is now open to any with a willingness to explore the interior of the Fortress.  The Explorers Society is very interested in the fortress, and the wonders and knowledge it contains.  We are willing to pay any adventurer who travels into the Fortress one Gold Falcon each, with additional rewards for any items and knowledge found within the fortresses walls that is shared with the Explorers Society.  Any who are interested should meet at the Explorers Society lodge in Northstar."

Plot 2:  Sammuelson's Treasure Map

A old sea dog named Sammuelson has come to the tavern looking for strong and clever adventurers to help him in his search to recover a hidden treasure.  "Once there was a Velderman Capt'n by the name of Abbel Koning.  Capt'n Koning was a very good Capt'n, and had a very pleasin' demeanor, so he was popular amon' those lookin' for a man ta haul their goods.  Capt'n Koning turned himself a good profit, an' quick too.  The problem bein' that all sorts of nasty folk knew it.  He became the target of pirates, an' after losing one good payout to a crew o' scallywags Capt'n Koning decided that he'd outsmart them who were out ta steal his hard earned coins buy burying his payouts on a small, and inconspicuous island.  The Capt'n hid a few of his payout there, intending to return one day and take it when he retired, but the poor Capt'n got himself caught in a hurricane and his boat went down with him never getting back to collect his hidden paydays.  It just so happens that I have found Capt'n Koning's little island, and his hidden treasures are so close for the takin' that I can already hear me pockets jinglin'.  The problem is that the island is infested!  Sahagin have warrens in the reef around the island and come on shore to do whatever fishy-men do.  Also, Capt'n Koning and his crew didn't go easily into the heavens the Goodly Gods prepared for em, no, their long dead corpses now roam the island, protecting the gold they never got to claim in life!  Since I am an old man I am looking for folks to collect the treasure for me.  If you do collect the treasure I will give those who retrieve it the Capt'n's share, and only take a paltry cut for meself.  Sound fair, me mates?"

Another important note:

If you play a one-shot character you will not get to keep any treasure, item cards, or other loot that would be your reward or payout for participating in the mission.  The XP and VP earned will go towards your established character (if you have one, if not it will be banked until you make one).

Mike has also indicated to me that he plans for each thread to have a unique Veteran Reward that PCs participating in that thread will have the option to purchase.  Players of one-shot characters will NOT get to purchase those unique Vet Rewards.  Players who NPC both threads will have the option of buying one or the other of those rewards, their choice.  What those rewards are will be revealed after the threads are complete.
