Special Encounters; Some Examples

Example 1. Brother Jacke Fitzbloude

Brother Jacke is a massive older, killing machine. He's a middle aged Templar who spent a lot of time fighting Holy Wars and is chomping at the bit to return but so far denied by the Grandmaster for reasons he doesn't understand or accept or even want to talk about. Instantly recognizable for the scar that slices down the right side of his face barely missing his eye. 

• Fight in the street! Brother Jacke moved into a semi-fortified townhouse owned by a wealthy Dwarven clan of Jewelers. He took over the bedroom of a Dwarf killed during recent riots. He did it because he doesn't like Dwarves, and because he could. The small Dwarven clan tried to report the illegal squatter to the guard and Brother Jacke decided to beat them up.
• Small riot of anti-Dwarf townsmen (instigated by local Thieves Guild). Brother Jacke stands outside defending his new 'home' (and thus the Dwarves).
• Brother Jacke accompanying the Jeweler on his daily business. Roughians keep their distance.
• Barfight bursts out into the street. Brother Jacke is in the center of it all. Someone made an anti-Dwarf comment within hearing and he went berserk until another Templar calmed him down.

Example 2. Sir Richard Fontrouse

Pale, wirey elitist jerk, opportunist, and sadistic bully. Sir Richard is quick to beat any non-nobles he can as long as he thinks he can get away with it. When he can't get away with it he'll be sure to taunt and threaten.

• Sir Richard is beating a peasant and the Clerics that tried to help the peasant. The Clerics is taking the beating bravely which only angers Sir Richard even more.
• Sir Richard angrily chops his dagger into a wall in frustration. If asked he relate that the Bishop has applied pressure to the Royals and now he will have to publicly beg forgiveness. 
• Sir Richard marches down the street to the Bishop's temple. A crowd taunts him and throws mud and dung. He's wearing a sackcloth to show humility but swears and threatens the crowd as he goes. When he arrives at the Bishop's temple he prostrates himself and gets forgiveness for his sins.
• Sir Richard tears up a tavern known to be inhabited by townsmen. He does so during mass to make sure no Clerics are around at the time. Two dead, one badly injured. The three injured are believed to have thrown mud at Sir Richard.

Example 3. Alanus Wade

Brunette, wirey & short, deceitful thief with a lusty attitude. Considers himself the greatest thief in the city although nobody else in his gang agrees.

• Alanus Wade asks the characters to come along as muscle. He wants to break his fellow John Pyk from stockade. John Pyk was arrested for not paying taxes which is nonsense. The Alderman is trying to push the Guild out of the ward. He doesn't want to kill any guards but he wants them to piss themselves in fear.
• Alanus Wade asks the characters to act as a distraction so that he can steal a chalice from the Bishop's temple before the Bishop arrives. Members of a splitter Cult have put him up to the crime and will pay him well for the chalice if he can get it.
• Alanus Wade asks the characters for help. His friend John Pyk from being hung by the Guards. Pyke is accused off throwing dung at a noble. The dung was thrown by a lass and John Pyk  took the fall because the guards recognized him and assumed hew was responsible. He needs muscle to kill a few guards but will settle for a distraction that will draw as many soldiers as far from the gallows as possible.
• Alunus Wade killed Sir Rad’ de Cestr, a knight, and is now a fugitive in the city.
