The five heroines had been summoned, each by a mysterious letter, to a safehouse hidden deep in the woods.<br/><br/>The building was empty now, but it had been well-prepared for their arrival. There were five horses saddled and hitched to an oak tree just outside the house. Inside, there was another letter bearing the royal seal on the table and a chest full of supplies. The letter read:<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Greetings, heroines.<br/><br/>You have been chosen by none other than the Crown, for your skill and prowess, to perform a great deed that bards will sing about for years to come. The fate of the Kingdom rests upon your shoulders.<br/><br/>We fear that Her Highness the Princess, alone with the rest of her retinue, has been brainwashed and kidnapped by an evil cult. Our scouts report their last known location as the abandoned fortress, Castle Bondage, which has recently been restored by an unknown group. Your mission, which you have no choice but to accept, is to rescue the Princess and return her to the King, safe and unharmed.<br/><br/>Our scouts have reported that the castle's walls have been fixed and there is no way to enter unnoticed. You shall need to infiltrate the castle through one of the following methods:<br/>-Fight your way in with brute force.<br/>-Allow yourselves to be arrested, and then break out of the castle dungeons.<br/>-Disguise yourselves as foreign dignitaries coming to conduct diplomacy.<br/>-Dress up as castle maids and enter through the servant's entrance.<br/><br/>In the chest you shall find a map showing the way to Castle Bondage, as well as maid and noble disguises should you decide to use those methods. The horses outside are also for you.<br/><br/>His Majesty the King has declared that this mission shall be kept secret to prevent panic among his subjects. Succeed, and you shall be rewarded with gold, lands, and titles. Fail, and the Crown shall deny any knowledge or involvement in your actions. Refuse, and you shall be branded traitors and hunted down to the ends of the earth.<br/><br/>Burn this letter before you leave. Godspeed.<br/><br/>Signed, Royal Spymaster Beckand<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><br/><hr/><br/><br/>(Introduce your characters here, and also very important, make a vote for one of the four infiltration methods.)
