The December 3020 gaming session was spent roleplaying a party thet Duke Hasid Rodigo threw for the victorious expeditionary force. I spent the week making up random encounter cards for the party. Each group of 9 cards had 1 each of the following topics: Duke Ricol, noble, courtesan, warrior, officer, merchant, servant, guard, special.

Some objectives: there are agents around that will try to find out what the characters saw in during their mission. The Duke doesn't want the characters to blab too much.
