Adventure Calendar 2022 3: We Three Kings

Adventure Calendar 2022
3: We Three Kings

Some characters this time...

Performed by Hugh Jackman, David Hobson and Peter Cousen

The three wise men, sometimes called kings and sometimes magi.

(Ars Magica fans take note.)

Astrologers and seers determine the meaning of the star and follow it to the manger, bringing suitably symbolic gifts.

They’re some of the most puzzling minor characters in the story, symbolic of the wise recognising the saviour and the powerful helping the meek, but I always felt they could be more help.

But that gets into questions like why the Watchers don’t give Buffy a salary. Anyway...

What do the PCs in a setting with portents and the like do when someone shows up and tells them they’re the subject of a quest?

And optionally gives them a box of myrrh, which is used in consecration and sometimes funerary rites?
