Broken Wheel iii: Battle for the Orb of Darkness
A separatist uprising has taken hold in Ravenwood. This army is lead by a mysterious Shadow Man who promises a stronger nation of free men will be born from the ashes of this struggle. This Coalition of the Phoenix draws a diverse army as power hungry lords unite with honorable knights attempting to build a better world.
The Free Republic has fought this uprising at many locations across the realm, but no decisive battles have been won by the defenders of the realm. Unable to choose ideal recruits, it has been common for the good to fight and die next to murderers and villains.
The Shadow Man has been gathering power as the war rages; however, his true goal is an artifact known as the Orb of Darkness. The Orb has been hidden among a traveling caravan to thwart attempts to locate this object of power. A spy within the Army of the Free Republic has revealed the ruse, and the Shadow Man descends upon the caravan to claim the orb.
The third Battle of the Broken Wheel is meant to capture some of the fun of Role-play in our usual combat. Four of the eight battles will be story based, but if anyone wishes to skip the role-play and “make with the fighting”. The scenarios should suit them as well.
Let me make this very clear from the start: This Is NOT a Series of Good Versus Evil! In a civil war, it is common for worthy soldiers to fight alongside sociopaths. Good characters and Evil characters fight on the same team, for their own reasons.
A quick note about the RP battles. One fighter will represent the Shadow Man the whole day. This does not mean the character IS the Shadow Man, only that he is a stand in because I cannot be Khyn and The Shadow Man at the same time.
