King's Gambit

Experimental Gimmick Oneshot
Aka PF Version of an escort mission
Aka Everyone is Jane

The village of Reitfeld was razed to the ground in a single night. All manner of criminal and beast, far beyond what the simple village guard could have been prepared for, stormed in and left a trail of blood in their wake.
Jane, who took refuge in a cellar as the cries echoed beyond the door, knew better than to chase them for simple revenge - the majority had survived, and they could rebuild - but there was more on the line than that. The Verdant Chalice, the sacred artifact that protected the people from the storm and plague, had been stolen: without the Chalice, there would be no Reitfeld.

The times were dark. The Holy Guard, too occupied with the frontlines of the demonic war, couldn’t spare the troops for such a dangerous side mission for an isolated village. It would be folly for any adventurer to take up the job against such steep odds. So, in an act of desperation, Jane turned to the lost rituals.

The Highlord. The Zealot. The Rajah. The Avowed. The Warlord.

Five kings of old she summoned, ghosts from times long past where mankind prospered and its empires were rich. In accordance with the pact, they would empower her against the dark on her quest, and lead her to victory. Each king had their price and their terms - but Jane had nothing else to turn to, so she was willing to offer everything.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In this oneshot each PC will be a support class! You’re ghosts, so you can’t directly damage or affect enemies: your job is to ensure Jane, the level 1 commoner NPC, survives and succeeds in her retrieval of the Chalice. The might of an army depends on the skill of its leader, so since Jane has five leaders, she’ll be the strongest! Right?
