You fucked up. You've really, truly fucked up this time. You've gotten yourself on the bad side of a Court Minister and now they've put out a ten thousand Royal bounty on your head to bring you back, kicking and screaming, into their sphere of influence. It doesn't matter what you did, not to the Shield Marshals, anyway. But whatever it was it had to be something fabulous.

​

So... what was it?

What You've Gotten Yourself Into

  • The Shield Marshals of Alkenstar, the city's far-reaching law enforcement group, has put together a posse to round you up. It's as bad as it sounds and it's only a matter of when, not if, they catch up to you.
     

  • Worse, the bounty on your head is for a ridiculous sum of Royals (gold pieces), so every bounty hunter with an empty purse is going to be looking for you. 
     

  • On the plus side, the bounty is worthless if they don't bring you in alive. So whatever is waiting for you in Alkenstar is either worse than death or worth way, way more than your head.

  • This means going to Alkenstar is probably on the absolute bottom of your life's priorities and it would take a literal act of God to get you to set foot anywhere near the Duchy.
     

  • On the flip-side, that bounty doesn't expire. Maybe you can run to the ends of the world, but if the Minister that wants you back at his feet wants it this bad, he may eventually expend the resources to find you where you are with magic. 
     

  • Which also means this is a ticking clock situation. One day this is all going to come to a head, so it's only a matter of time before you have to cash in all your chips and see where they fall...

Who You Are

  • You're a criminal, obviously. You did something terribly wrong and one of these days you're going to pay for it.
     

  • Or... maybe you're not? What do I know? Maybe you're a convenient patsy that a crime has been pinned to, and one of these days you're either going to clear your name or pay the price for someone else's crime. Yeah, that seems likely. Keep telling yourself that.
     

  • You're probably a little paranoid. After all, there's a lot of well-armed and relentless people looking for you. Maybe you have a false identity or two. Maybe you don't stay in one place for too long. How long have they been looking for you anyway?

  • Are you even from Alkenstar? Why would a Minister of the Grand Duchy want you captive? Seriously, what did you do to piss him off so much?
     

  • Do you have any family or friends? Because they're probably next on the Shield Marshal's list if they haven't already gotten to them. They won't hurt them, probably, but there's going to be a lot of awkward questions.
