Map Quest

A map has been found, which leads to another map, and then another...

Maz Baggins believes that eventually one of the dang maps will lead to treasure.

It Needs to Feed

A panicked farmer shows you to his henhouse. Inside you find a formless blob-like creature with long tendrils. There are no hens, and the creature appears to slowly be gaining in size.

Canton Coal has never seen a creature like this. Blake Pierce used to be an adventurer and remembers a gelatinous cube or ooze being similar

The Talking Birds

Birds have begun talking in common. And they're all rude.

Oisin Reece got into a fist fight with a mouthy raven.

The Gambler

Sarab Anwen thinks that an orc will never change their stripes.

Allez Cuisine

A great beast has set itself outside the town you are in. It demands to be fed the most delicious food or it will east the townsfolk instead. You must prepare an elaborate five course meal using local ingredients.

Josua Kensley has tried to cook everything they could think of but the beast will not be satisfied. Talwyn Bladefist is prepared to attack the beast if need be, but is willing to wait until you make an attempt.

It Awakens

There is an old, forgotten and sealed tomb that the local children like to visit. After the thaw of winter the tomb is left open and empty... broken from the inside.

Clementine Fitzgerald often reminds children not to go near the tomb. Rebecca Mervor has seen the ghost of an old man near the tomb.

Sadness

Everyone in town can't stop crying.

Patrick Faelyn hasn't cried in years until now.
