This is a city-based encounter ...
It's evening and a party of adventurers is in a city or town and making their way to the local pub. From out of the shadows, a disheveled fellow staggers in front of the party. Under his arm is a large waterskin with a longish spout. With a loud cry the fellows yells "SURPRISE!" and squeezes the bag, dousing the party in wine.
"You've been blessed by the Good King Rolfe!" He announces with great gravity. He then gives the party a courtly bow. "I'd like to give you this Holy Sword."
If party accepts the sword, he will ask them to perform a task for him. His Viceroy, has put a curse on him and robbed him of his senses. He wishes for the characters to journey to his castle and forcibly remove the Evil Viceroy from office. Roll d6 or choose:
"You're my only hope," he concludes his story.

- The sword is fake and the so-called king is a loon.
- The sword is fake but the fellow is in fact the king in exile.
2a: he was an awful king and the viceroy is greatly loved.
2b: he was a beloved king and the viceroy is as evil as they've been told. - The sword is real but the "king" is an adventurer who was cursed by an ill-tempered wizard.
- The sword and the king are the real deal. Slaying or driving off the Viceroy will gain the party great renown and a powerful ally.
"You're my only hope," he concludes his story.
