Adventure Idea - The Thirty-Five Assassins of Castle Longueval

The Thirty-Five Assassins of Castle Longueval


The March of Longueval has been killed and his heir Jean Longueval, his niece, is to be invested as the new Marchioness. Enemies cannot be told from friends and an entire guild of assassins has been tasked with the death of the soon-to-be Marchioness and her younger sister Flaura.  The old Cleric Constan and his nephew Reynaud, commander of the Longueval guards, have called for heroes to aid them against the assassins who have already killed the March.

Are these assassins in the pay of the hereditary enemies of the Longueval's? The Countess de Lavarden and her son Paul have long sought the destruction of the March and open warfare has been a slow but constant state of affairs for decades between the two. Or could it be the dark priest Ludovic and his demonic cult whose hidden temple is rumored to be located in the perilous swamplands in the south of the Longueval domain.

Perhaps the hand directing the assassins is even closer to home. Constan warns that few can be trusted. Great are the rewards for those who can see the new Marchioness safely invested in her estate and great is the danger for any standing in the assassins way.
