Introductory speech:

You have all arrived, by various means, and for various reasons, at the city of New Blork.

You stand outside the town hall, wherein the council are preparing to brief the assembled adventurers on the details of their noble quest - namely, the plague of frogs and worms that have assailed the city for these past few days.

The city itself is pretty well off, high wall, cobbled streets, nice exposed beams on the nearby shops, houses and inns. Nice germanic feel, looks a bit like arendelle from frozen. People going about their daily activities. There are however, numeour signs depicting either apples or eggs displayed prominently in a few windows or hanging from eaves. This area seems very peaceful, no worms of frogs in sight at the moment.

its a nice day

around you are other adventurers who have answered the call for aid. surprisingly there aren;t a huge number of them - you see a few beefy looking campaigner types in plate armour with swirds and axes, mingled with a few hopeful looking farmers with hoes and a hand me down leather cap. Elderly wizard sits on a bench nearby., possibly nodding off. A few guards outside the doors are chatting to each other idly and casting a rueful eye over the assemblage, and keeping people out for the moment while the council set up.

For the last few mins you've see a few bakers and grocers go in with trolleys of pastries, and trays of fresh fruits and hors o'oveures, smells really good.

And of course, you all see each other - [describe your selves in turn]

[descriptions[

"is this it? i thought we were supposed to be getting some cavaliers from the capital!"

"squashington men? havent you heard? big shortage of men over there"

"what? since when?"

"last i heard, they all quit. Said something about wanting to be their own bosses?"

"well bugger me. Hopefully this lot are better than they look"

[receptionist comes out, whispers to guards]

"guards open doors and motion people inside"

[people go in(?)]

[describe reception]

[receptionist asks people to please go in and find a seat]

[whooshing sound from main hall, people at the front scream and rush back, people at the back rush forward to see what's going on, people in the middle get squashed, some draw swords, guards try and push through the throng. unpleasant smell emanates from CC]

RECAP 16/04/2021

Party recap;:

MEGADUDES were incinerated approx 11am by person or persons unknown

The phenomenally delicious brunch was stolen at the same time

Mysterious figure slightly on fire wearing red cloak seen by greengrocer heading eorbles shortly afterwards

Party given a ludicrous amount of gold by bereaved captain to fin d the murderer and rid the town of the worms and frogs

Minor skirmish with some giant worms outside the inn

Bongo has in his possession a small piece of cloth found at the crime scene

Also some apples were bought

Party made special deputies by Lt Clod

The material used in the clue is very old and a special twil weave typical of factories destroyed by the aeki empire in the war some time ago

George R Marney doesn’t like the party but was intimidated by Bongo

**Secret notes**

Cheeky Chaz had a gambling problem

Lt clod was in love with guard captain Cathy, who was incinerated. He now turns to drink, party discover him in the inn.

Small child and woman given some gold by Thaddeus after losing home and adventurers leaving

Greg and Gregina are about and don’t like the party. Will probably try and steal gold

Wandamorel transformed before entering inn, just looks like an ordinary patron. Rented Dominc Dumpington’s secret room. Try and split the party up for double mimic encounter (one in wardrobe, one behind player)

Worms need to be bigger, stronger and faster to contend with party! Also pump up the frogs maybe.

Frogs will attack the inn

Try and get the party to lose all their money gambling (bet all their money and get fake magic money in return)

**Inn gossip:**

Lots of people leaving town, big J won’t as his family have run the inn since the town was founded

Overhear secret password to buy magic items from alchemist’s shop (adventurer from earlier talking to drunk grifter)

-try and get party to make black powder (sulfur, saltpeter, charcoal)

-Dom trivia

Old man plank is going to get himself killed tring to save his corn

Horse races start in an hour

Bar fight about the apple and egg thing, patrons thrown out
