d100 City State Quests

As adveturers creep over 4th level they will be dealing more with leaders and assemblies and other leaders. Some of these will be giving quests to benefit the people. Its always a good way to impress a ruler if you perform some quest. Intended for people at least 5th plus level

Sadly I'm winding up my Exilon campaign after lost a player so am trying to start a new game to get enough players to be viable so we get at least 3 per session. Starting up SF cthulhu game
