Practical Research

A famous adventure writer wishes to be brought on a quest with your party. You are to show her the ropes and keep her safe. Her publisher is not happy about it.

Bernie Jones, the writer's agent, threatens you with legal action if any harm comes to the writer. Virginia Thom is the writer's #1 fan and offers to pay for the expedition if you let them come along.

Hurricane

A massive hurricane has sprung up from nowhere.

Percival Winterheart heard Elana Weston say that a druid is to blame.

The Double

Everyone saw the King die on the battlefield, and yet he just gave the victory speech a day later.

Maria Sweeny is wondering if it's magic, or just an actor.

Fool's Gold

You are given a gold coin for your service to a strange old man. Everytime you open your coin purse, you find only that coin, even if you place other coins in with it.

Dawn Reddy offers you a magic item for your service to him. Eve Ward warns that greed consumes all.

The Tunnels

The Queen snuck out of the castle in the dead of night. She was seen entering a nearby mine, and has been lost among the maze like tunnels. It's up to a party of adventurers to find her.

Bebe Alard thinks the Queen may be under hypnosis.

The Lone Elf

An elf named Raven is the lone survivor of an attack by a goblin horde. Someone needs to convince her she shouldn't stay alone in the forest.

Jax Massa says Raven is standoffish and rude.

Ghost Horse

A hauntingly scary phantom horse is frightening people at night.

Klaudia Hamlin is wondering if the horse is a warning.

Ambushed from Within

One of the wagons you are escorting suspiciously loses a wheel in the middle of a forest road. The other guards whisper to one another and ready their weapons.

The caravan master was convinced to hire these guards in the previous town. Dorian Laroque mistrusts the new guards.

It Writhes in the Deeps

A massive, terrifying sea monster washes up on shore next to the city with a massive bite taken out of its side. Over the next week many ships are lost at sea,

Corinna Kastrix believes there is always a bigger fish. Arios Hamilton is a doomsayer who believes this is an omen of the end.
