A sending, then the players rush to a generated area, monsters start coming and have to be killed. When the last boss is killed, the supply crates unlock. It used to be a great addition and fun and could be back in some way.

Knight Of Pentacles

Could do it in Lower at the Canal Ward...

Vlaid

This would be an awesome idea if it's not already in the works in some fashion. Could create more opportunity for run-ins between Upper/Lower/Misc based PC's when they go to crush the invasions of creatures and steal their ill-gotten gains.

Pool

After giving it some thought, I think these places this could work sensibly for something like that:

1) Instances in the Machine. (Sending by a Spellguard Agent or a Auxiliary School of War Lieutenant about an infestation attacking an Engineer outpost, might fit Upper inclined PCs or Scrappers.)

Enemies that'd fit the above: Goblins, Kobolds, Enraged Elementals, Weaker Chosen swarmers that don't require magic weapon to kill, Substance Mutants, Lizardfolk Beasts and Unseelie Fey creatures.

2) Instances or straight hoards coming to the In-Between staircase. (Watcher or Scrapper Scout spotting an ambush on Watcher patrols/scrap scavengers, might fit upper inclined PCs or territory protective lowersmen PCs.)

Enemies that'd fit the above: Goblins, Kobolds, Enraged Elementals,  Weaker Chosen swarmers that don't require magic weapon to kill,  Substance Mutants, Lizardfolk Beasts and Bandits.

3) Down the Canal Ward of Lower. (Workmill Revolutionary Watchman sending warning of an outbreak at a Revolutionary Barricade, might fit Lowersmen PCs, Adventurers of no real binding and the like.)

Enemies that'd fit the above: Goblins, Kobolds,  Weaker Chosen swarmers that don't require magic weapon to kill,  Substance Mutants, Lizardfolk Beasts and Unseelie Fey Creatures.

4) Instances in the Low Road (Society Ordinants calling for aid for enemies overrunning one of their outposts. This might fit all inclined PCs.)

Enemies that'd fit the above: Goblins, Kobolds, Lizardfolk Beasts, Unseelie Fey creatures, Controlled Thralls, Aberrants and Bandits.

The Old Hack

I really like Pool's suggestion!

I think that if this should have a start, the first and most involving place to test it would be the In Between as zone of tension between Upper and Lower Sanctuary

Valo56

Considering there's already a quest that deals with an invasion of the In-Between, more things dealing with it could be cool. :)

But I really like Pool's stuff.

Stranger

Invasions would be much more fitting for Lower Dunwarren than Sanctuary. The current policy of isolation would make it a bit strange.

There are as few outposts outside of the Shield as possible, and excursions are discouraged as is.
