So my players are running through Rise of the Runelords right now and are about 1 session away from ending The Skinsaw Murders and I thought it might be interesting for the Lord Mayor to offer them tickets to the exclusive masquerade ball being hosted in a few weeks (along with the gold he offers them).
It would be held on the 23rd of Neth (November) and part upscale party/ part introduction to the faith of Sivanah for Magnimar where she has very few followers.
I'm planning on having RP encounters with several npcs they know and some they don't know yet, skill challenge dancing contests, and costume contests. I'm looking for a few more ideas to pad out a fancy ball into a whole or at least half of one session and don't want a huge focus on combat.
Anyone have any additional suggestions?
If anyone's interested, here's the invitation I made up.
