The Red Handed Adventuring Guild is a valuable part of many communities, but they aren’t without their enemies. For years there has been an open rivalry between the guild and the wizards of the Circle of Eight and their College.
Guildmaster Kishtari has learned that a powerful staff created by Mordenkainen’s first librarian will be transported on a ship called The Vivid Morning. She’s asked for intrepid volunteers from the Guild to infiltrate the crew of this ship and steal the artifact while it’s in transit. It’s being escorted by a powerful, but elderly wizard and their full escort so only the bravest need apply.
This game will be great if you like Leverage, Pirates of the Caribbean, Heists.
