Background story and general concept

I'm writing a Dungeons and Dragons campaign (DND E5) based on a combination of three ideas:

A. All player characters (the PCS) are DnD 5e – Rogue Subclass

         The four player characters are:

Airlock - male Tabaksi, level 3 swashbuckler rogue,

Aquanora - female dwarf, level 3 arcane trickster rogue,

Catriz - A male dark elf, level 3 rogue assassin,

And Magen ta - male elf astral, level 3 Soulknife rogue.

B. The plot is inspired by two movies I like:

1- "The Suicide Squad"

         The plot of the film in brief:

         A secret unit made up of dangerous prisoners

         who are reluctantly sent to carry out a secret mission for the regime that imprisoned them.

         If they complete the mission successfully they will receive a pardon.

         If they rebel or escape, they will be eliminated with an explosive implanted in their head (for me, I replace it with poison).

2. The movie "The Warriors" (1979). The plot of the film in brief:

         Cyrus, the leader of the biggest gang in town, invites a grand gathering of street gangs. The representatives of the gangs from all over the city go to the meeting place (each gang sends 9 representatives). According to the instructions, none of them carries a weapon - a peace offering to Cyrus in honor of the assembly. At the meeting, Cyrus makes a speech in which he convinces the gangs to unite and rebel against the regime. But then someone assassinates him and incriminates the group of fighters who are the heroes of the film, from this point they embark on a survival journey on their way back home when all the representatives of the city's gangs try to eliminate them.

In my version, the players are required to impersonate one of the gangs in order to infiltrate the meeting and assassinate the top leader (in our plot we call him Voltage-Bonfire).

C. The campaign plot will connect these three ideas as follows:

In the kingdom of Pristoplinia, it is customary to execute once a year all prisoners who have received a prison sentence of over a year (which is almost all crimes except minor offenses).

And this as part of the celebrations of the local holiday "testovyy den" (testovyy den').

The execution custom known as the "sacrifice" (zartva) takes place at the first light of sunrise and all the prisoners are executed.

And from that moment until sunrise the next day actually begins the "test holiday" (testovyy den') - a whole day in which law enforcement officials leave the city and all laws are not enforced. As part of this day, the inhabitants of the kingdom "before the gods" prove their true morality.

(It is similar to the movie \_\*\*The Purification\*\*\_ but with a religious excuse similar to "Yom Kippur").

The plot of the game begins on "Gallows bridge" - the ramp above the city walls above the city on which the executions are carried out.

The players play a group of criminals facing execution.

Just before the execution, they are rescued from the convoy to the gallows by a mysterious but infamous figure named "Blue Eye" and receive an offer in the form of a task that if they perform it they will not be executed

They must infiltrate the illegal gangs that Voltage-Bonfire brings together, and assassinate

At Voltage-Bonfire at the end of his speech.

  In addition, they must return to the "Blue Eye" a mysterious gold box that Voltage-Bonfire has with it

  Return to the meeting point (the place where you first met the blue eye)

Before they leave for the mission, he reveals to them that they have been poisoned in advance (the food in their last meal was poisoned) - the effect of the poison will be almost imperceptible, but the next morning it will kill them (at the end of 2 days from the moment of poisoning), unless they complete the mission successfully and earn the medicine.

They must succeed in the assassination and escape quickly without being caught.

- If they are caught within the city limits, the authorities will disown them and abandon them to their fate.

- If they try they won't get the medicine for the poison, the black paint on their fingers will spread to their head and when it gets there they will die.

- If they return to the city gates with proof that they have completed the mission, they will receive a medicine, a royal seal for carrying magical objects and a monetary reward.

\*\*

In conclusion, the players play criminals who are required to infiltrate the city and a convention of all the criminal gangs in the city to assassinate the leader of the underworld. Then they are supposed to return to Gallows Hill to get the antidote to the poison before they die.

But that's not all, because as soon as they set off they are about to meet

A new player character named: Buckle

which is Firbolg, Monk (Way of the Drunken Master) level 3. who lives in the forest in the abandoned area of the lower city.
