In the City Guard Chronicles, the heroes investigate crimes, solve difficult situations, and protect the citizens as fantasy cops in a pseudo-medieval city.

This One Shot adventure presents the guards with a new challenge. An armed robbery is in progress and the perpetrators are holding hostages. Members of the City Guard Investigation Squad are close by, so they are tasked with resolving the situation. Hopefully without the loss of innocent life.

For fully flashed-out Seasoned archetypes, have a look at one of the longer City Guard Adventures. Each of them offers eight archetypes (and a great case for the guards to investigate as well).

Are you ready to...
...protect the citizens
...serve the community
...patrol the streets
...uphold the law
...solve the crime
...and survive the experience?

The City

Welcome to the largest city on the continent, thoroughly corrupt from the very top to the lowest bottom. In this bustling metropolis, you can find anything imaginable, buy whatever you desire, and experience far more than you wish.
It is a real hive of scum and villainy, for lack of a better phrase. But more often than not, the scum wear expensive clothes and fight with words, deception, and slander. And the villainy act behind the scenes. That is not to say visitors do not have to look after their purses (or lives) while walking the street at night. But they are no more safe at a noble’s manor or in a councilor’s office during the day. The dangers might be different, but the threat is real enough.  
The city lies at the crossroads in every sense of the word. Merchant caravans arrive daily through one of the gates, and the port is busy day and night. All major trade routes lead through here. The barrier of reality is thin in places. There are gates throughout the city that lead to other… locations. Some are similar to our world, and some are very different. Rumor has it a few even lead to hell.

The City Guard

The city council has always been very serious about keeping order. The City Guard was established during the historical first council meeting and charged with protecting the city from external threats and keeping the peace within its walls. Many pages have been written about procedures, structure, and the number of staff. It all seems well thought-out and responsible. At least on paper.
The sad truth is, the council’s expectations of the strength and structure of the defense and law enforcement bodies are not matched by its budget allocation. Budget cuts are a way of life, so the City Guard works with what it has, and tries not to complain too loudly. It is an open secret that everyone, from the lowest guard to the highest commander, is expendable.

“Honest guards are hard to come by… Do your best and surprise me.”
— The Guard Commander
