Adventurers are often on the lookout for a little more coin, and going bounty-hunting either as their main side gig, or as a brief dalliance, is a favourite way to do it. Here are some bounties offered for targets, and what they might have done, as well as complications that can make claiming the bounty more difficult.
1 - Wanted for Murder! Matias Mangual, brigand. 50gp reward. Matias is an escaped slave with a high price on his head, and is trying to escape those who would see him in irons again. He slew his overseer in escaping, and just wants to make his way home to his family. 2 - Wanted! Dead at any costs! The traitor Ransekh. 1,000gp reward. Ransekh is indeed a traitor, known for having opened the gates to the Crimson Fortress while it was under siege for a sum. Now, scorned and hated by all those who survived the slaughter, he broods over a tribe of Goblins who he has beaten into submission. 3 - Bring back ALIVE! 50 gp for information, 500 gp for living return. The thief known as the Lily Shadow. The Lily Shadow is a talented catburglar who stole a fabulous package of uncut gems from a crime lord following a heist. The crime lord wants to make an example of the thief to discourage any further 'initiative'. 4 - LSOT KAT. Plz Halp. 3sp. Looks like this <stick drawing of a cat>. The local orphans have lost their cat, and have pooled a small pile of copper pennies for its safe return. The cat got out after a door was left open, and has made its way across town into an abandoned warehouse. This adventure could lead into further danger with criminals, guards, or cultists (or all at once, go nuts). 5 - Reward for bringing in those who took my staff. See Archmage Tadraek for details. Archmage Tadraek's staff was stolen recently, and he wants it back. But more importantly, he wants to punish those responsible. He suspects his former housekeeper, who has gone missing since the robbery, but does not have the time or skillset to go searching himself. He is willing to part with his prized Ring of Protection for returning the volatile Staff of Power, as he fears what it might do in the wrong hands. 6 - Lord Gavyn Dathalzi, Peer of the Realm, Purse of the Exchecquer, is hereby stripped of all titles and ranks, and a purse of 10,000 gold coins is offered for his capture. By command of the King. Lord Gavyn Dathalzi is an embezzler who has been lining his own pockets for years. While this would ordinarily be punished by some quiet imprisonment as a Ward of the Realm, and loss of some family estates, the amount embezzled was quite astronomical and when confronted, he drew a weapon and fought to escape. Several bounty hunters are likely to pursue this bounty at once, and Gavyn himself might be able to turn some of them with the offer of hidden coin. 7 - For forfeit of ransom, the knight Sir Clementine Mournlance is declared an escapee. 1,000 gold coins offered for her return, unharmed, 500 gold for dead body. Sir Clementine is a knight who gave her promise to surrender when captured, and a ransom of 1,000 gold pieces was agreed upon. However, when she saw that her captor planned to use her to ambush the family members who would bring her ransom, she escaped and is fighting her way home to save them. 8 - Miscarriage of Justice! The judge Reth Willowsworn has accepted corrupt bribes! 100 gold pieces for his capture and bringing to trial. Reth Willowsworn is a travelling judge who is accompanied by a pair of Knights while on the road. While thoroughly morally corrupt, the bribes have been for approving shoddy building practices rather than for making faulty judgements. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 16 September 2021.
