Illegal Ore Cargo.

Overview

Smuggling of illegal cargo into a city

Trigger

The group of smugglers see the PC's as they pass the alley and are afraid that they are the local police. Thus they drop the Box. If the PC's ignore it they come back in ten minutes and finish the move.

Description

The PC's are walking past an alley when the see several figures down the alley moving a heavy box. The figures notice the PC's and drop the box and run!

Dm notes

If the PCs explore the alley they wil find that the box has broken open. The figures that were carrying the box are all gone. (Though they will soon return with a total of 8 men [appropriate level for a good fight] - They thought the PC's were town guards) Inside the box is a large quantity of rare ore from a local (planet/island) that is protected from trade agreements. If try to sell the ore the will be arrested. The ore if processed will make a +1 steel for making weapons, but has a green tint to it. and is easy to enchant (thus it is valuable).

Key

If the PC's report the metal to the local authorities they will ask the PC's to explore the local (planet/island) to find the base that has exporting the metal illegally.
