MYSTIC DICE 

To Start off Dice for the position of Hedban/ Master Henri. We used Mystic dice (MD) in which are two six sided dice with mystic symbols on them. The symbol combinations give number 1 to 6 but keep the players guessing as to whether they have thrown high or low. A secret D6 will do instead. We only varied the position of Hedban but it would be possible to give bigger variety by dicing for the locations of Formio/ Beadle Florien and Cordelia/ Madam Charlotte as well.

MD  Number gives the location of Master Henri & his two bodyguards.

The party is stopped at the dock gates and the Captain reads them the following proclamation.

 

Proclamation

Inasmuch as we have evidence that the late Basylt Devisage, Grand Duke of Bara, did gravely abase the coinage minted in Charles, we hereby decree that all such Baratrean coinage not be used in this city of Ekthalon. Such Baratrean coins, namely the Gilden Pezzo, Silver Florin and copper Pfenni of Charles should be handed in for changing at authorised moneychangers. These are the City Hall, the Preceptory of St.Judas, The Cathedral Almoner, or any Ombardi bank.

            By order of the Mayor

                  & Ekthalon City Council 

Quay gates Proclamation & Money for bribes and expenses.

The Captain at the Quay gates stops them and says "You are from Bara, you had better hears this." Reads the proclamation. (Prices are listed in florins of which there are 10 in the Gilden Pezzo.)

Each character dices, D6 x 10% of their money is usable. Of course they can change the Baratrean money to get 60% change at the Ombardi Bank or Preceptory.

Languages: The normal language in the Sanctuary Stews is Edin (Westron) which Don Incio does not speak. However many also speak Simnith (Sindarin) marked S Other languages written in full.

Assassins Present Names

Formio Futrotte = Florien de Perigord, Beadle of St Frederick's. He is in overall charge of registering all residents, collecting rents and keeping order in the Sanctuary on behalf of the Friars. He lives in the Church Tower with his four mistresses and bodyguard of bailiffs. He is on the 4th floor with one of his mistresses. On the floor above is an alarm gong and one of his mistresses on lookout duty.

Hedban = Master Henri, Head Bailiff of St Frederick's. He is in charge of the bailiffs who are the very corrupt police of the Sanctuary. He lives in 9, the blue house with his mistress. Position diced for

Cordelia = Madam Charlotte, Master of St. Frederick's Stews. She is in charge of the public bathhouse which has a very unsavoury reputation for holding orgies upstairs. She lives in 42 the pink house with her friend Jocette and her maid Dulcie. She is in her Office at the Stews outside which is an alarm gong.

Alarm Gongs: These are situated around the city of Ekthalon to sound in cases of emergency, such as riots and fires. When sounded the City watch, the Kings guards, and all able-bodied citizens are supposed to come and solve the problem. In the Sanctuary Stews the bailiffs substitute for the watch, able bodied citizens willing to do anything are few D6+2 men & D6+2 women. If the gongs beat longer than four moves, the Kings guard of two knights and twelve spearmen will come from the barracks to investigate.

Bailiffs: These are thugs employed as the police of the Sanctuary, armed with clubs or falchions.

# Encounter/Action Cards: Use a pack of playing cards for these. They are drawn whenever a squad reaches the # symbol on the map. They are all at corners, so those they encounter are assumed to be coming in the opposite direction.

 

Questioning: People in the Sanctuary, are marked D for denizen or O for outsider. Outsiders naturally know nothing of the assassins and little about the area. For Denizens the players throw a Mystic Dice to give the amount of information they know. Primary Question is what wealthy persons arrived here four years ago?  6 gives either Master Henri or Madam Charlotte, 5 gives either one of the bailiffs or woman who rents the pink house 42. 4,3,2 No idea, 1 Edifico of the Ombardi bank 35, or Madame Calleux of the Red Light 40. Secondary Question is where are Beadle Florien, Master Henri, or Madam Charlotte?

7+ Has just seen one, 6 Florien Church Tower or Henri correct place, or Charlotte Bathhouse. 5 Florien Church or Henri house 9, or Charlotte house 42. 4 Florien Church or Henri house 9 or Charlotte house 42 and tries to warn assassin. 3, 2 No idea! 1 Florien in Preceptory of St.Judas or Master Henri imprisoned in Barracks or Charlotte now a Chiaran Sister in the Preceptory of St.Judas. 

REMEMBER THE WATCHERS IN THE TOWERS, INCLUDING ST. FREDERICK'S, IN THE CASE OF ANY VIOLENCE IN THEIR VIEW. THEY WILL RAISE THE ALARM!

Feel Free to embellish or simplify to keep the game going.
