About the Mage's Gambit

Mage's Gambit is time-sensitive adventure where adventurers have limited time to find leads and discover who wants the royal couple dead. The time is constantly ticking and heroes can only visit a finite amount of spots to investigate and meet suspects before the ball starts. Guide the players towards the truth or drop red herrings in their way, and let them reveal their findings before the ball - just before the plot comes to its conclusion!
