A Legend in the Making: Act 1

A bard has arrived from a rival kingdom to record the epic tale. Will the players be able to stop him seeing through the scam, especially when the players do most of the work anyway? How will the prince and the party react when he writes a hit play portraying the prince as monstrous tyrant and the players as greedy thieves.

The king, in an attempt to hedge his bets, has sent his best knight to accompany the players. A knight of the Golden Rose, honourable, just, handsome and all round nice guy i.e. everything the prince is not. When the townsfolk welcome the knight as the hero and when he looks like a better candidate for the throne than our greedy prince will the players just take the money or will they consider the kingdoms future.

Rival empires and nations send their own agents to beat you to the prize or sabotage your efforts. When adventuring parties beat you to the loot, assassins lurk in every crowd and you are forced to go the long way round everything will the players really go through all this for the moaning, whining prince.
