Part 2: The Olisreach Election

Our adventurers have arrived in the city of Olisreach, a kingless city lost deep underground. But these newcomers have given the people hope, and the council has decided to bring in candidates for the Crown. All that's left is to gain the support of the people.

Components

Goals

B'leep has been sponsored as a candidate for the Crown. The party must interact with the citizens of Olisreach to support the candidate of their choice, whether that be B'leep, or another.

Relations

Protagonists

The Main Party:

 

B'leep the frog-man fighter

Thorin the hill dwarf cleric

Pen Name (Hemmingway) the goliath barbarian

Boris the aarakocra druid chef

Ildrex the dragonborn sorcerer

PJ Puffn'stuff the tabaxi swashbuckler

Allies

Nirin , a drow on The Olisreach Council who is sponsoring B'leep during the election. An advisor to the PCs.

Neutrals/Bystanders

The citizens of Olisreach

Berrit, Dace Theiber's housekeeper

Competitors

Dace Theiber, a local hero whose fame is dying. He once killed a bunch of spiders that were attacking the town, but all the fortune and glory went to his head. Kind of a dick about it.

Lanna Eliswei, a quiet wood elf who likes to keep to herself. Would make a very good ruler because she has a lot of experience,

Show spoiler
though this experience comes from running a smuggling company from the Olisreach docks. Though many of the guards have stopped doing their job, she will pay the others off and use her own men to keep the streets in check.

Cordis Oak-Borden, the head of house Oak-Borden, one of Olisreach's oldest families. A very kind person, though a bit oblivious in his old age.

Richard , Olisreach's head scholar. He spends a lot of time in the library with the PCs' team of researchers and has absolutely zero interest in becoming the King.

Encounters

7:00p - The party has convinced the Council to hold an election and is given a brief rundown of how this will all work; there are five candidates (B'leep, Dace, Cordis, Lanna, and Richard). The PCs' job is to learn about each of the candidates and support whichever one they believe should win the Crown. They may choose to decrease the support for another candidate through wichever means they wish, though depending on the methods used, it may carry consequences.

7:30p - PCs spend some time exploring the city and learning about the other candidates, beginning with Cordis Oak-Borden, and moving on to Dace Theiber. B'leep gains support by telling tales of his adventures in a few of the local inns/taverns.

8:00p - Dace has agreed to take the party into the caves and show off his spider-killing skills, but he doesn't have any idea how to track spiders. The PCs keep insulting him and so he attacks them (combat #1) and they retrieve the first of the Five Keys

8:30p - After defeating Dace in combat and humiliating him in front of the city gates, the PCs have eliminated him from the election. They meet with Lanna Eliswei to learn more about her and, to prove their worth, are told to clear some theives out an old warehouse by the docks.

Show spoiler
The warehouse is actually a trap and is where Lanna's smugglers keep the majority of their goods.

9:00p - PCs fight the theives/smuglers in the warehouse (combat #2). Pen Name becomes proficient in throwing people at other people.

9:30p - The PCs find a note

Show spoiler
from Lanna instructing the smugglers to attack
