Howdy all,
I am in desperate need of a mini adventure to get a valuable artifact into the hands of my players. Now, I want to give them a cool treasure that I've designed - which happens to be a crown - but I want to make them work for it.
Once the players finish their current dungeon crawl, there will be a grand feast held by the Lord Mayor of the town they're currently saving. In the adventure, it's simply written as a quick RP encounter followed by some gold. I want to make it into something more.
SO, what I am looking for is a little mini side-quest adventure in the form up a quick mystery plot at this grand feast. First, it would involve the PCs meeting all of the suspects beforehand during the party. Then news would spread that the Crown was stolen! The doors will be sealed, and it will be up to the PC's to find the thief.
I would simply write up the quest myself, but it's not as easy as writing up a few combat encounters since it involves clues and fleshed out NPC personalities. I was wondering if anyone knew of such an already made module that I could download, if anyone had made such a quest themselves, or if people could just give me some helpful tips. A murder mystery module or something similar would work fine as well. I could modify where needed. Thanks!
