The Siren's Call

You booked passage on a ship. Midway through the voyage, you awaken to find only you and your companions on board. The ship is anchored beside a small island and a Siren's song fills the air...

Sarab Bladefist warns of danger on the seas. Maz Gale believes she met a creature of the sea with an entrancing singing voice.

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.

Helsora Deverin has loved the stories of the hero all his life, and just wants her to be real. Gert Mervor thinks the cleric has his head in the clouds. Kharda Marshall says the circumstances around the heroes death were always strange.

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.

Lydia Zaki has heard of the book, and warns that no one should read it.

The New Jester

A funnyman was recently hired by a prince. Bad news is the funnyman turned out to be an evil funnyman, and he's killed the prince and gone on the run.

Daventry Joygrove used to date the jester.

Avalanche

An avalanche is moving swiftly down the mountain and will be here in moments.

Elise Larchwood is sure everyone will die.

Sacrificial

A pack of demon worshipping gnolls have been abducting people to use in sacrifice.

Maz Shad is willing to do anything to help stop the gnolls.

The Kraken

A kraken has been attacking the town. The problem is, this is a farming town, hundreds of miles from the nearest coast.

Caitlin Joybrook thinks the kraken can teleport.

The Elves have Gone

You arrive at the gates of an ancient elven city. The gates of the city are unbarred, and the streets empty. The city has been abandoned.
