All happens in Rome around 90 AD The pcs are Gladiators and one Auriga The story i have in mind: Spurius Vergilius Ranaeveius, a roman patrician has high gambling debts. He figures he will be never able to pay them back, and therefore decides to run. When he runs from his creditors anyway he figures he can do the whole nine yards and also borrows as much money as he still can, picks up anything easily sellable or moveable he can get his hands on (including the jewelry of his wife, money of his family, his wifes family and the treasury and assorted cultic relics of his mystery cult), sells some real estate he does not own, buys a new sex-slave (just because he is on the run does not mean he has to miss comfort), naturally on credit, puts up some wrong leads and leaves Rome. The mystery cult will ask the pcs for help. The long term goals of that adventure is to have a reason for a book of magic to change hands and to give the pcs a possiblity to meet a moneylender as potential allies or otherwise on friendly terms. The pcs will not be able to travel after Ranaeveius and it is not planned that they actually physically catch him. I'd like them to find some clues about his whereabouts though, that they might trade or otherwise use. Now does anybody have ideas on clues that they might find, where it is not excessive stupidity on other searching parties that they don't and where not excessive luck is neccessary? And does sombody has further ideas what else Ranaeveius could have stolen to increase his travelling budget or comfort.
