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.

Lydia Hale, the writer's agent, threatens you with legal action if any harm comes to the writer. Ezekiel Carter is the writer's #1 fan and offers to pay for the expedition if you let them come along.

The Relic

While perusing a local shop, you are drawn to an old, rusty sword. It feels familiar in your hand and when you turn it over you find your name engraved on the blade.

Chandra Hamid, the elderly shopkeeper, says the sword has been in this shop for as long as he can remember. Kendra Lord recognizes you, but cannot quite place where from.

Carrots

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

The Sage

A friend has come down with a strange illness. It is killing him, and your only lead to a cure is a powerful elven healer who lives deep in the western woods.

Tamara Bane met with the elven sage last spring at a shrine in the mountains. Kathryn Faelyn believes the sickness is a curse and must be broken through action, rather than salves and herbs.

The Ageless

A small group of travelling wanderers seem to not age.

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