The Book of Many Stories

A thick tome is found deep in a dungeon. The pages are blank unless only one person is looking at them. Then it appears to tell a story which may have more to do with reality, than fiction.

Natar Crump has heard of the book, and warns that no one should read it.

Your Past, Your Present

You enter a village and realize it looks exactly the same as the village you grew up in. In fact, you see a child who looks strikingly similar to you playing in the fields.

Mia Abasi does not recognize you. Winona Mervor does not trust outsiders.

The Yeti

A mysterious beast with white hair has been seen nearby. It's roars can be heard at night.

Anto Hickory is going to hunt the animal down.

The Cheater

The townskeeper's wife has been seen out and about with another man. This is a problem, because the townskeeper is a crazy person.

Lysander Jordan thinks everyone needs to not say a thing to the townskeeper.

A Most Inconvenient Murder

You are on a ship crossing the sea. On board is your party, a nobleman and his wife, a known rake, a beautiful young debutante, the ship's captain, a well known adventurer and a famous detective. One morning, the nobleman is murdered and you were the last one to see him alive.

Sumesh Gellar swears they saw you with the nobleman last night. Jelen Bradley wishes to call everyone together to find the killer.

Eruption

A dormant volcano is suddenly not as dormant as those who live nearby would like.

Ewan Altharia thinks magic may be the cause of the upcoming eruption, and not nature.

Tax Time

A caravan of tax collectors from the nearby city was attacked and robbed on its way to town.

Summer Dunstan seems happy that the tax collectors lost everything.

The Dead Beggars

The town's beggars are nowhere to be found. At least not until their shallow graves are discovered and exhumed.

Kashida Turner thinks that less beggars in town is a good thing.

The Resort

A mountain tourist town is empty. It was just filled to capacity the night before.

The only person in the town is Alondra Mervor and they don't remember a thing.
