Here's a role-play focused scenario that can be run concurrently with other activities in a Ptolus campaign.
Player characters are approached by someone claiming to work undercover for the City Watch and looking to hire unfamiliar faces to help ferret out people that may be planning to overthrow the Commissar and City Council.
All they are asked to do is keep tabs for several days on who a tavern owner is meeting with. Of course their contact will keep asking more questions each night when they report in. Their employer is an assassin getting them to do his scouting before he goes in for the kill. Basically they're being played and suspicion may well fall on them.
The action is all confined to the Docks District and a small tavern called the Serpents Tooth.
The truth is that their target is a retired adventurer whose old party members are coming in to try to convince her to rejoin for a mission.
The assassin was hired by a merchant whose son tried to rob the place and ended up imprisoned in the basement for a year.
Not much to say about this one, it handles just about everything with little need for modification.
