About the adventure
Adventures! You have been called upon by Duke Allouysious Marquis to attend a masquerade ball he is hosting during the Centennial Celebrations of his country as well as his daughter’s 30th birthday. But what’s this? The Duke actually summoned your group to his estate to uncover who might have sent him a threatening letter, detailing a death most heinous to befall at the masquerade! Can you uncover the plot of the murder, question the various attractive npcs who may have motive, and perhaps even dance with a beautiful stranger, all before the murder can take place?
