Festival Of Life (world event idea)
Here's one for you DM's that wants a celebration event. The world (or at least the portion the players live in) is celebrating the 'festival of life'. Apparently over five thousand years ago a great necromancer tried to take over 'the world' with an undead army. That army was stopped by a group of clerics who followed the path of life & about 200 years after this event it was declared a holiday & has grown in popularity since. Now it has become a continual festal of merriment & an usually high crime rate (usually noise complaints or drunk people being dumb) . Please note any attempt to purposefully disrupt the festival is seen as a crime & can cause up to 200 silver in fine. Only Time one con purposefully break this law is in situations in which something worse would happen if they didn't disrupt it (ie trying to get medical attention for someone having a heart attack, & or invading hordes of barbarians).
