�The evening is darkening in the forest around you, but luckily you are just reaching your goal for the night � the tavern of The Broken Shovel. You step in from to the welcoming light of the inn, and lift your eyebrow in surprise � there are more guests than you had expected. Some of them are locals from the nearby village, but others seem to have travelled to Mistwood from afar� You sit down in a corner of the room, order yourself a drink from one of the merry barmaids and wait patiently for the right moment to accomplish your plans��
Broken Shovel is a larp set in a medieval-style fantasy world. Combining Finnish and German larp-traditions the game has characters ready written by the game masters and plenty of character interaction, but also passages of action and riddle-solving. NPC-characters bring the story forwards following a loose pre-written manuscript. The game is bilingual (Finnish/English), but also players speaking only either of the languages are welcome � all game-information will be available in both languages. There are approximately 17 player characters and 8 NPC:s in game. The game fee for players is 10 � and for NPCs 5�. The game starts in late afternoon and ends in the night, you may stay overnight at the game site.
�What happens when the night grows darker? Are all the legends just fairy tales? And why is the shovel broken?�
