TEAM: Barrow, Marcoulf REPORT DEADLINE: April 5, 2020
ASSIGNMENT: A contingent of the enemy force in Orlais is rumored to be making moves toward the Orlesian front line's flank, thanks in part to the broken blockade at Val Chevin enabling the Anders and Venatori forces to finally begin resupplying the occupation force directly. While Orlais' fighting force is deploying its own rag tag force in answer, a prominent art historian from Val Royeaux has written Riftwatch begging that they assist with rescuing a collection of paintings from notable Steel Age portraitist, Solène Portier, which currently is being kept in the collection at Château de l'Orfort and lies in the path of the two opposed forces.
DETAILS: Barrow and Marcoulf will be able to reach Château de l'Orfort without significant trouble and will have time to load the portraits, which are of considerable cultural value, into their cart for transportation. However, at that point they will find their escape is complicated when the Orlesian and Ander-slash-Tevinter forces clash practically on the château's front lawn.
The team will have a choice to either a) make a clean getaway with the art, or b) attempt to sabotage the enemy forces and aid the outnumbered Orlesians, but potentially lose the collection.
If you choose the second option, let us know, and we'll roll for whether or not they manage to preserve the collection.
If you choose the first option, their escape will be successful but not necessarily easy, as the Ander and Tevinter forces will have blocked off the main roads as part of their assault. They'll be forced to take a longer road through relatively deserted plains, without any signs of civilization or opportunity to purchase supplies or stay in an inn, with only one another, the horses, and the portraits for company, and midway through a thunderstorm will roil up unexpectedly and threaten to damage the art.
QUESTIONS? If you have questions specific to your assignment, reply to this and we'll answer them. If you have general questions applicable to every assignment instead of just yours, ask here.
