Babes in London: Act Two, Scene Three B (Anika’s House, Part 7: Flashback—Hounds of the Law: Sentence and Rewards)

SCENE THREE B: HOUNDS OF THE LAW

PART D: SENTENCE & REWARD

Once the capture (or apparent loss) of Brinna and Karymnos is resolved read, or paraphrase, the following, remembering that the PCs did, in their past lives capture the two:

Well, they led you a merry dance, but you caught them in the end. The scene of their capture fades, and you find yourself standing once again before a wooden platform and Lady Amintar. Brinna and Karymnos kneel before her, their heads touching the boards.

“… the penalty is death by drowning,” the Lady Amintar is saying. The stern look fades from her face, and she glances down at you with a smile. “And for my hunters I have a new title. You are awarded the position of Hounds of the Law and your services will be retained in perpetuity.”

The scene fades and you find yourselves arrayed before Anika’s desk with one thought resting uneasily on your mind. The summons to the trial had come from a member of another brood and you had answered immediately—but now you can’t remember why. You really wish you could, because someone out there appears to owe you a favour.

Allow the PCs to work out what they wish to do next. They may wish to continue searching the house, or they may have completed their search and wish to go elsewhere. If PCs have searched the rest of the house, as well as Anika’s room, and garnered all the clues they can, go to the section titled: ‘Finalizing Scene Three’.

Also, if you like this adventure and want to play it, please go buy the official rulebooks from somewhere where the original creators and publisher of the setting will be paid. I got mine from a Melbourne game store, but I’ve found PDF versions of the Player's Handbook and the Gamemaster's Handbook are now available from DriveThruFiction. If you enjoy their world, this is the best way to thank them.
