Kekooee Seshket Scenario 1- The Market

You need to find who mentioned the Kekooee Seshket and get more information from them. The market has several people this time of day, but it's not as crowded as it could be. It will take a while to work your way through all of these people but it must be done.

Table Setup- The players deploy along the same table edge at least 6" away from any other player and no more than 1" from the table edge. Only the Party Leaders are present for this scenario.

Serving suggestion for table for the Market scenario. This is a 3x3 table, ideally a 4x4 table would be used but not necessary.

Each player is given 6 Bystanders to place. Bystanders cannot be placed within 10" of any table edge. Bystanders cannot be placed within 3” of another Bystander. At the beginning of each turn after the first, each Bystander who has not been interacted with by a player moves 3” in a random direction. Bystanders who have been interacted with can be removed from the table or left in place but not moved. If a Game Master is present he will handle Bystander movements.

Another view of a suggested terrain layout for the table. 

Suggested terrain for this scenario is small buildings and market stalls. The terrain density is left to the players or Game Master to decide but more terrain would make for a more interesting game

Objectives- The objective for this scenario is to be the first Party Leader to find the Mysterious Stranger who mentioned the Kekooee Seshket.

“On the outskirts of town, near the old mill, an old Heru has set up camp. He was very talkative, for a Heru, and once he had a few drinks in him he would tell stories about his time as a young warrior fighting against the forces of Akhenaten. In one of these stories he mentioned a Priest of Aten using a Kekooee Seshket during the battle. This Priest fought off a dozen Heru warriors before he was cut down by the Harbinger. This was near the end of the war, so the warband had to move on quickly to take part in the final battle against the Atenists."
