Locale

It's About Time

Hlf the population in town seem to be aging backward.

Rose Lesley swears they've grown a foot shorter in the past two years.

The New God

A woman in town believes she can become the god of the sea if she drowns herself, and then kills the actual god of the sea.

Olivier Deadeye is rooting for the woman.

Invaders!

A race of warriors, not known to these lands, has landed on the shores of the kingdom and displaced several villages and farms. They are not just raiders, and have already begun to establish settlement.

Lorelei Duval watched the invaders burn a village. Janette Rowe wants revenge and is gathering a host to attack the invaders.

The Meat Eater

A little girl was found by a friendly circus troupe and brought with them to town. Well, that was the plan. She's the only one who actually made it to town, covered in the blood of the troup.

Riley Lucas is sure the little girl ate the circus troupe.

Horde of the Mountain King

You find a map at the bottom of a chest. It is written in Dwarvish and, if read, identifies a treasure horde hidden high in the mountains

Doran Mattell thinks this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make it rich. Finley Kaye is concerned about what else might be guarding the horde...

Carrots

Some folks in town swear they've been attacked by carrots.

Tavi Windrunner says they survived an attack by biting the carrots back.

The Ticking

A loud ticking, like from a clock, can be heard coming from the forest.

Mugheer Sams wonders what will happen if the ticking stops.

Sleep

Everyone in the city has fallen asleep, and no one knows why or how.

Penelope Molyneaux talks in their sleep.

The Door

You are awoken in the middle of the night by the Innkeeper. He is pale and shaking. He leads you to a large metal door in the basement. He swears on his life that this door was not there yesterday.

Max Duval has owned the inn for years and lived here all his life. He has never seen this door.
