It's a Hog's Life

After a night of drinking and feasting in the town, you awaken to find the town empty of villagers and instead it is filled with hogs

Tenjon Windrunner says the town worships a respectable goddess of the land, harvest and charity. Safia Scott only allows those who are strictly invited to the feats to participate.

Unrequited

In the center of the village stands a beautifully carved statue of a woman in full battle armor, a hometown hero. A young adventuring Cleric, obsessed with the famed warrior, casts stone to flesh on the statue in a vain hope to be with her. It works.

Miriam Reddy has loved the stories of the hero all his life, and just wants her to be real. Ego Scott thinks the cleric has his head in the clouds. Amaya Barlow says the circumstances around the heroes death were always strange.

The Missing Letter

A letter proving a man's innocence has gone missing, a day before he is to be hung.

Charlotte Massa hates the man, and swore to Mace Hale that nothing would save him.

The Waning

The torches, candles and all non-magical fires are burning low and weakly in the city. A dense fog slowly settles over the city. Movement in the fog occasionally shows ghostly humanoid forms moving about.

Bruce Hemlock last time this happened the youngest children from each family went missing. Elana Norman says you must always keep the fire burning when the fog rolls in

The Hairy King

The King has come down with a case of the ol' werewolf-itis. The Queen would prefer no one know.

Emyr El-Hasan has their suspicions that the King might be a werewolf.

The Ageless

A small group of travelling wanderers seem to not age.

Fribbington Balbrek met the group as a child, and they're all the same age as they were back then.

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.

Sarab Adir believes this attack happened because the fort is right on the edge of a magical forest. Miriam Fordragon can guide you to your destination for a fee.

The Talking Birds

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

Weston Simpson got into a fist fight with a mouthy raven.

Cannibals

There's a small town near the edge of the map which is full of humanoids who eat the flesh of other humanoids.

Edmond Lachlan is searching for their brother, who went missing near the village.
