Seeking Input: Campaign Concept - 'Agents of Shangri-La' (5th Edition)

{Standard disclaimer: As always (or at least almost always) I am looking at 5th Edition stats and concepts.....thanks.}

 

After re-watching (for perhaps the 15th time) the 1937 film version of James Hilton's Lost Horizon this morning I found myself toying with the idea of a campaign where the PC's are, as the subject line suggests, agents of the lamasery in the Valley of the Blue Moon. Not that they would come and go from the valley, or even fully know of its existence. Rather I am considering what might be a motley group of 'do gooders' who could be involved in endeavors ranging from the collection of items of wisdom for shipment to the lamasery, to perhaps even forestalling the expected cataclysm (at least for awhile, to allow more preparations to be completed).

 

One initial thing I am looking for is thoughts regarding possible 'Package Deal' items. I am already toying with (based simply on the demeanor of Robert Conway shown in the film) making a Code Versus Killing part of the equation. Additionally I would think that basic literacy in the form of Chinese used in that region would be a reasonable requirement....Beyond that, I am open to suggestions/input.

 

Thanks in advance for any comments and/or suggestions.
