Escape the Noose - Adventure
Can you make it out of Nuess alive¸ and Escape the Noose!?
Escape the Noose is set in the context of historical events known as the War of Cologne¸ or the Seneschal's War. The adventure begins with the characters finding themselves trapped in the fallen city of Neuss on the Rhine river.
Neuss was once famous for repelling previous attempts to storm her walls; however¸ this time her garrison is surrounded-and outnumbered-by a host of Spanish and Italian soldiers with cannons.
This adventure is designed for Basic Tier characters; however¸ it can be easily made more difficult for Intermediate Tier play by adding extra soldiers to encounters¸ increasing the rate of
cannon fire at escape vessels¸ or increasing the difficulty rating of skill rolls due to smoke¸ rubble¸ toil and other trouble.
This adventure also contains:
- Historical background for the Siege of Nuess
- A short bestiary detailing new foes
- Adventure seeds for further escapades in 16th Century Cologne
- Nuess city maps
