Quest for the Crown
At the Annual Knights Tournament, you, a band of petty thieves, are trying to prove yourselves worthy to be part of the Jade Tooth Bandits, the toughest crew in the land. The king has heard word that Five-Fingered-Rohan, the group’s leader, is planning on stealing the crown during his speech at the opening ceremonies. One of his guards has leaked the king’s clever plan to wear a fake, so while he’s on stage, you break into the castle to find the real thing. His speech is set to last a mere 10 minutes so you best act quick for you know he won’t be leaving his jewels unattended for long!
