This encounter takes place two days after the player characters rescue Jubal. [Prior to his rescue Jubal was tortured and has had an eye cut out by the Beggar Kings men].
Epilogue: Hanse Shadowspawn enters the room carrying a small chest. He places it on the table in front of Jubal.
Hanse Shadowspawn "This chest was left for you with One-Thumb at the Vulgar Unicorn. I have checked it and there appears to be no trap mechanisms. It came with this (Holds up a iron key). An urchin delivered the chest with a simple message. - Give this to Jubal. Only he is to open it”.
Inside is a blood covered piece of paper wrapped around another object. Dark patches of blood are seeping through the paper. Jubal carefully unwraps the package to reveal a human eyeball. Jubals eye! There is a hand written message inside the bloodied paper.
"My old friend, you might need this if you want to find the real Beggar King. Your men have done me a favour. Now the people of Sanctuary know I am unkillable. Keep an eye out for me".
The Beggar King the players killed was merely a decoy! Sets things up nicely for the next adventure. I have created another character specific epilogue for each player as well. Here is an part of one of the epilogues.
Scene: Jubal’s Estate, inside his war room. Three men stand around a large table covered in maps. Jubal the ex-slave gladiator crimelord, Shenton - his most experienced Hawkmask and Kromm Lionslayer the barbarian (player character).
Shenton “According to the intel gathered from Night Shadow and Kromm, the Thieves Guild base of operations is here. [Points to a building on the map located in the Street of Red Lanterns]
Jubal “From the reports I’ve heard we know that Danny O’gunnion is leading the Big Fish Gang and he has men posing as Hell-hounds moving goods from the Governors Warehouse to the Florist Shop. These will likely be black market goods and perhaps trade goods taken from merchant vessels as part of O’Gunnions tax on goods entering the city. I am sure Prince Kittycat would be very interested in this information but for now lets keep him in the dark and wait for the best opportunity to use this knowledge to our advantage. If they get wind of the authorities getting involved, they will go to ground”.
Shenton “What do you make of this Beggar King decoy?”
Jubal “That traitorous bastard Saliman could still be alive, or he might have merely been a pawn in a larger plot involving the Blood Cult and this Dark Brotherhood. The cult is dangerous and we need more intel on who its leader is and what defenses their temple has before any move is made against them.
Kromm “What about The Temple of Heqt and their High Priestess guesting at the palace? There could be a link between the two new temples”.
Jubal “We know the Beggar King has a spy posing as one of Kittycats concubines. I think she could shed some light on what the Prince knows as well as have intel on the High Priestess. Find out who she is and then we can arrange to have a private talk with her”.
