Notoriety & Black Points

The PC's will be interacting with various individuals and factions who have a vested interest in seeing that events go the way they planned. The PC's actions will be noticed and as situation permits be responded to directly or indirectly. Keep track of the PC's Notoriety as the campaign progresses because it will act as a trigger event to aid in making decisions on behalf of the larger factions. Generally speaking a localized disruption by the PC's say attacking or even killing 1-2 low or mid level NPC's associated with the Ripper Clan or Dunthmore's insurrection or criminal underground in a routine encounter will not necessarily result in a heavy handed response from the organization. However if they discern what could be considered a systemic house cleaning or major disruptions to their plans will be noticed and investigated, potentially in force.

Goal of the Adventure

Capture Oleg Keep, prevent the Rippers from invading the low country.

Beginning the Adventure

The adventure begins with the PC's having been granted their titles as Knight Protectors are directed by the Count to march a company of 50 infantry north to take Oleg Keep.
