Liam Black says they saw the dragon just yesterday.

The Weird Relic

You reach into your bag of holding and draw out an unfamiliar relic. It is a small doll-like figure, carved from bone. "Help me..." it cries, and small beads of water begin to drip from its carved eyes.

Nev Wilbur that bag of holding is ancient, must be one of the earliest of its kind,

The Treasure Map

Someone in town wants to hire adventurers to escort them to a location said to have a lot of treasure, at least based on this old map they found.

Laikyn Terryn believe the treasure is real, while Falk Deverin does not.

Sleep

After a comet slams into the ground next to a town, anyone who goes to sleep in that town doesn't wake up. It landed four days ago, and there's very few people left.

Mona Smyth's sister is one of those still awake.

Heat Wave

A wall of flame a mile high and thirty miles long is spreading through the forest, destroying everything in its path.

Isabelle Elonil thinks the wall of flame began near a wizard's tower home.

Into the Unknown

You are being chased through the dungeon by a horde of monsters. You come to a final room with no exits but for one swirling red portal which leads to lands unknown.

Timothy Rowe, your guide, does not wish to enter any unknown portals.

The Cursed Necklace

A woman in town was gifted a necklace by a secret admirer. Now she's sick, and quickly heading toward death.

The only suspect is Anto Everett.

Allez Cuisine

A great beast has set itself outside the town you are in. It demands to be fed the most delicious food or it will east the townsfolk instead. You must prepare an elaborate five course meal using local ingredients.
