you have been sent a letter in the post. The person who has sent the letter seems to know everything about you and is trying to use your mistakes from your past against you, if you don't do what they say they will reveal everything and your life will be ruined. you have no choice but to accept their terms.
you are free to live your life but every now and them the blackmailer will send a message to you through a robed person. you assume the messenger is a cleric as they transform into a bird to help them sneak by delivering messages and you are fairly sure spy on you every now and then. you don't know if the messenger is the same person or different person each time so killing them is out of the question.
you need to uncover as much as you can about the blackmailer without getting caught, but beware the messenger will come to check on you every now and then to see what your up to so you need to watch what you do when the bird is around!
There is only one true way to ensure your secret never gets out and that is to find out who the person blackmailing you is and kill them but make sure nobody in your party finds out you don't know who you can trust!
- Skill Proficiencies: choose 2: investigation, perception, deception, intimidation.
- Tool Proficiencies: tinkerer's tools
- Languages: common, 1 extra language of your choice that you use to communicate with the messenger.
- Equipment: poison, antidote, blow darts and calligraphers set
every now and then the messenger will drop in on the place you are at to observe your actions. If you are caught doing something that goes against the blackmailers wishes or trying to investigate the blackmailer whilst the bird is in the room you will have to role against them in deception and get higher than 12 to not alert the messenger.
the bird will randomly appear during the game but your high alert feature helps balance this out as the DM has to immediately say when anything has entered your surroundings. to get rid of the messenger you need to do a search roll and get higher than 10 this will reveal the bird and they will then fly away as soon as they have been spotted.
Due to being watched most the time you are highly aware of your surroundings and have great peripheral vision. when you enter a new setting you are able to sense if an entity is hidden without rolling, the DM will also tell you the size and their general direction (eg. north south) however the dm wont tell you what the entity is.
hopefully this will be helpful to keep an eye on when that pesky bird is around spying on you!
