Pitch

Very recently Khador captured Laell, being a valuable strategic and economical location. Cygnar set in motion plans to "liberate" it again. A large army was gathered which is now on its way. The PCs are selected to do scouting missions in advance of the main army. After scouting out troop formations in Ryn they pass through what seems to be a ghost town. Night is falling and it's getting colder so they decide to stay overnight, only to find one of their party missing next morning. (NPC)

Alternatives

• They find their friend, or what's left of him her a little while later. It seems they are not alone. And whatever wanders these ruins likes to tear visitors limb from limb and chew a bit on it. Since the army needs to go by here they decide to investigate. Investigation uncovers several half-eaten, dismembered corpses from the (ex)-townsfolk, perhaps some survivors. The survivors tell the PCs some old legends about things that wander the woods, and since a few weeks they've started coming out of them too. The party is asked to help out with this problem which can be anything from very hungry bears to thralls looking for new spare bits for their necromancer or maybe the zombies rising in the local graveyard are just looking for a midnight snack.
• They wake up after a shot with a rifle. One of the party members is gone, together with the lantern. Poor Billy Ulzaie. He went to answer nature’s call and took a lantern because it was too dark, thus attracting some unwanted attention of one or more Khadoran Widowmakers. Intelligence made them set up camp here to give the Cygnaran war-host on their way to Ryn a warm welcome. Killing a few high ranking officers to buy their comrades time to launch a counter assault. The party finds itself being hunted by the snipers and they’ll have to deal with the problem or get word to the rest of the army somehow.
• The missing party member (can be a PC --or more-- in this case) were caught while scouting out the ruins of the town. From what they gather the men and women that caught them are rebels fighting against the Khadoran take-over of Laell. If the rest of the party can get to the rebels they are asked to help in a sabotage mission of a nearby Warjack refuelling station..
