Rescuing the notorious womaniser, Sanguigno de’ Masnadieri, is a desperate mission for a desperate band: a handful of knaves against all of Vortiga’s guards, among the best trained in the Kingdom. Fortunately, Sanguigno’s beheading is planned to round off the Red Carnival, a week of revelry, parties, and indecencies, during which everyone, even those guards, will be distracted and most likely drunk. Easy-peasy.

This is a spaghetti fantasy scenario set in the world of Brancalonia, an all Italian medieval, roguish, and picturesque setting for D&D5e. The PCs are knaves, mercenaries, rogues and similar rascals hired for all sorts of odd jobs, generally illicit, dangerous things that nobody wants to do. And that's on a good day... On a bad day, there are curses, demons, witchcraft, monsters and double-dealings to contend with as well.
