Pitch
A master thief (and a legendary alchemist) assembles a rogue team of magic-users and con artists to pull off an impossible heist – breaking into a dragon’s vault – where failure doesn’t mean prison, it means becoming dinner.
Synopsis
There’s an underground magical vault, protected by sorcery, security cameras,
guards and whatnot. Think of the most impenetrable place in the world. Now
triple it. Here comes the bad news. It belongs to a dragon, and I was hired (forced, in fact) to
break into it and steal his hoard. Suicidal? Insane? Maybe, but… actually, there’s
no but. It’s suicidal and insane. Still, fortune favors the bold. Let’s hope fortune
has a good disposition toward the crazy as well. I might be an alchemist
extraordinaire, and the best burglar on the East Coast, but this is not a solo job.
I’ll need a team for this one.
Accompanied by a powerful sorcerer, a fortune teller, a scam artist, and a hacker,
I embark on the heist of the century. If we succeed, we’ll be legends. If not –
crispy dragon snacks.
