K24: Kehler Lands Campaign Premise

Adventure Hook: The characters are the survivors of a destroyed merc unit, the Suthlundt Green Company (established in Silverwater). They had been hired by the government of Mismallon to help defend the country against the forces of Tempelhoff and the Ascendant Kehler Empire. The company was based in southern Mismallon in the foothills of the Middlemounts, guarding a hill fort with several local Mismalloni units. The fort was attacked by a mix of Tempelhoffer knights and several cohorts of the Kehler Imperial Legions, including their experienced combat engineers. When the besieged fort fell to the Legions, the PC's escaped on foot with what they could carry, pursued into the mountains by their attackers. The escaping mercs followed the mountain passes into Halleck, where they wound up in Glen Stardecampayne, a Halleck castle town near the border with Nyremi.

Character Build: Novice, two Advances in. They are starting characters but not complete noobs. As usual, an extra Edge for three Plot Hook/NPC pairs. Characters will have access to everything in Kethos Book 1, which I will supply in PDF to anyone that still needs to get a copy.

Starting Gear: Every character gets $500 to buy equipment, but all start with the following gear regardless of their role or abilities. Wizard, ninja, or knight, your employers ensured you all have this.

• Steel +3 helmet and jacket of +2 armor, quilted or heavy leather as desired ($125 eq.)
• Dagger and hand ax as sidearms and tools
• Bedroll, backpack, canteen, flint and steel, blanket, traveling clothes, and $10+2d10 in silver and copper coins.
