They were part of a force invading thronehold when the day of the mourning hit. Now, a month after the treaty of throne hold, they are still stuck their with nothing to do when they get a letter from the ex-commander asking for help. The PCs must get out of Thronehold but dont really have a legal way of doning so. here are my plot hooks inside throne hold so far.... Plot Hooks for Thronehold Thronehold was torn to pieces by the last war. The Pcs were a member the Cyran military invading the fighting for control of the city against Thanish troops during the day of mourning. With no more nation to return to an a questionable legal status the Pcs will have trouble leaving the Island city. To complicate matters Thronehold is in the mists of a low intensity conflict between the factions that remain. Corrupt house Deneth guards are more concerned with making a profit for themselves then with actually maintaining law and order. The docks and four remaining bridges are all guarded by these international ‘peacekeepers’ who refuse to let the Pcs pass with out the proper paper work or a sufficient bribe. Of course Thronehold is the perfect place for new adventures to get a quick job working for one faction or another to earn gold and help. Travel Passes Vessen d’deneth and his men guard the bridges that lead out of storm hold demanding that all passers have ID papers and travel passes in order to leave the city. Vessen is corrupt and will issue Travel papers to people for the inflated price of 20gp. 50xp ID papers Navigating the Bureaucracy of house servis is an adventure in its own. The real problem becomes when the Pcs must find a person to vouch for their identity. Tracking down another person from Cyre who knows them is going to be a DC 15 gather information check. 50xp Mercenaries Wanted House Orien always needs guards to help protect the caravans. Representatives are willing to pay the Pcs 50gp each and can put them on a route to Lazar this week. That is if they have their ID papers in order. Accounts and Balances The royal heirs have a lot of money invested in Kundrak banks controlled by the Aurum. The bank notes are all kept inside throne hold castle. If the Pcs could sneak in and retrive these notes for the Aurum they would be willing to pay a hefty 500gp, plus anything the Pcs can loot from the castle while they are there. 100xp Burn the Place Down! If the Pcs visit the right shady dives they might find out the local cell of the EC is very upset that the war has ended and is willing to pay the Pcs 500gp to set fire to Thronehold castle. 100xp For Cyre! If he Pcs find another member of the Cyran military he informs them that a group of them are going to attack some reminents of those damn thranes. The pay is what ever you can loot from their bodies and revenge for Cyre. 200xp Ok so does anyone have any ideas how to flush out some of these mini adventures or add some more? I am trying to go for a darker version of eberron. More Sin City and less Indiana Jones. I realize that i still need to stat up the NPCs and probably draw up Thronhold Castle.
