The Last Wish

A stone has been found which houses a genie willing to grant wishes. He says he has one last wish he may grant, but wants to give it to someone who really deserves it.

River Duraz wants the wish and will stop at nothing to get it.

What Lurks in the Fog?

The village is quick to welcome you to their food and fire. In the evening, a dense fog rolls in and surrounds the village. The villagers begin to don armour and weapons, and you hear the unearthly shriek echoes out of the fog.

Dwyer Brightleaf believes the fog creatures to be the dead, having risen from the barrow lands to the east. Amira Duval apologizes for tricking you, but explains that they desperately need your help.

Under Siege

A letter arrives from a nearby lesser noble. Their fort is under siege from an unknown enemy force attacking from the nearby forest. They request aid from such renowned adventurers.

Doran Gale believes this attack happened because the fort is right on the edge of a magical forest. Elana Jordan can guide you to your destination for a fee.

Fetch Quest

The forest warden has asked you to cull seven black bears as their population has been getting out of control. The innkeeper asks your to bring him five intact bear livers.

Everyone in town repeats the same greetings over and over. Hiram Darwin won't speak to you until you prove yourself to the town.

The Haunted Wagon

A ghostly wagon travels through town each night.

Dolan Connington seems to be interested on boarding the wagon next time they see it.

Melt

The weather has taken an inexplicable turn toward the hot, and the snow and ice are melting. So to, are those who live here in the tundra. A foul magic is at play, and it's a race against time to save everyone as they slowly turn to slush.

Dina Haggard thinks the answer lies at the peak of a nearby mountain.

The Tome of Unspeakable Evil

An archaeological expedition unearths an ancient book. Within a week, all in the expedition are killed and the lead archaeologist kidnapped.

Kasim Rana is an expert in old elven lore, and funded the project. Don Roderick led the expedition to their location but returned home straight away.

Sleep

After a comet slams into the ground next to a town, anyone who goes to sleep in that town doesn't wake up. It landed four days ago, and there's very few people left.

Turok Loch's sister is one of those still awake.

The Translators

A foreigner is looking for translators on his journey to a mysterious land.

Kandon Fallow almost decided to go with the foreigner.
