Heist inspiration
Hi Dms!
Looking for some inspiration. I am a new DM, and took on the challenge of making a Homebrew, with some oneshot elements in it. So far 2 sessions in we are having a lot of fun. The next part a 'Villa Heist' is mostly homebrew, and for that I am looking for some inspiration.
The team is 5 level 2 players, most quite new as well. They already now about the heist, and competing parties have asked them to steal something (a mysterious stone). I am thinking of splitting up the party, 2 or 3 as infiltration (they already found a way in), and 2 at a party that is being held. I was thinking of letting the two at the party find out information, that they can magically give to the infiltration party.
I was wondering if anyone has some good ideas on:
- what type of loot is suitable for their level if they find a treasure room
- fun activities at the party to get information
- Before the party, when they go clothes shopping, should I try anything to make that extra fun?
- How to not make this to railroaded?
Any tips welcome, thanks!
