Trial of Blood (Conan 2d20)

About the adventure

You have been in the city of Tarantia for no more than a few days, having arrived here as part of one of the many caravans that ply the trade routes within Aquilonia. Having had your employment end on reaching the city you have asked around a number of establishments and have heard rumours that work is often available in the Trusted Lyre, an inn to the north of the city. You have let the barkeep know you are looking for employment and he agrees that it can be often found here, with those eager to hire sell-swords frequently visiting his place of business. Although no prospective employers have yet appeared you feel confident it is only a matter of time before they do so. The haze of smoke in the Trusted Lyre is thin at this time of night, a cool spring breeze pushing it out of the open shutters to reveal a collection of smiles and laughter. Patrons from all over Aquilonia and beyond are revelling in cheap ales and twice-stewed pork loins, and a pair of unexpectedly talented musicians are leading singers in Zingaran drinking songs. It is a good night to have some extra coin in your purse, and it seems that you are not the only ones to think so…
