The Wardstone

The town is protected by a magic crystal which is situated at its center. Last night, something stole the crystal. The town is now vulnerable to the evils which reside in the nearby lake and forests.

Homer Autumn saw a great winged demon descent from the mountains and take the gem. Richard Ashbringer fears the town is incapable of defending itself without the gem.

Penelope Hogan is supposed to work on the ship during its maiden voyage.

Caroc Winterheart is searching for their brother, who went missing near the village.

A Creeping Corruption

A ranger has found a spreading disease deep in the forest which is killing all the vegetation and turning the animals mad. The spread will soon reach the outskirts of a local city and the farms that feed it.

Dana Rowe believes there is a druid who may be able to help. Vivian Darwin last saw the druid more than a month before when they purchased potions from the druid.
