Basic Adventure Outline
- Lord Maxwell Conner is in need of adventurers to deal with a Thieves Guild that has started to cause problems for his beloved fiancee, Lady Abagail Wincroft.
while unsure of the abilities of most adventurers he has sent a few of his men to seek out a group that might be able to nip the "start of a great problem should it be left to fester"
While he does hope the Players can catch the would-be Thieves Guild before it takes root in the city he lives and hopes to wed in (a secret to no one should people listen to him more
then 5 minutes) to Lady Abagail Wincroft (whom incidentally has a family that runs many wealthy trade routes in the merchant quarter and would reward heroes amazingly)
He offers the group a reward of 500 GP each for getting rid of the problem before it becomes too great, and even sweetens the pot by letting them know other wealth on the thieves is also
allowed as other merchants would consider it a reward to remove the thieves guild before it takes root as well.

real Thieves Guild, The current Guild Master of this group has notes about them and where they can actually be found, and while she knows they have a guild Master of Their own
she has no idea whom they actually are and got tired of working for an unknown, no matter how good she had it, and found like-minded thieves that wanted out.
The Layout of the traps you can decide on, Generally, I have one group of thieves attempt to attack the party in town and another in the Thieves guild during their break
in. The Total Experience Point for a party of 4-5 Players would be 2,000 and enough to level the group to level two and yes Ultimately Lord Maxwell Conner is the main villain and wants to hire outside
his actual thieves guild so he doesn't draw attention to his operations.
This is the start for a game to bring the players together, this first Scenario part brings them from level one to level two, if people want I'll post the rest of the notes of what I call
Barebones adventure building, right now I have written in a notebook enough adventure to bring them all the way from level 1 to level 4 (like most Adventure Paths)
