What Lurks in the Fog?

The village is quick to welcome you to their food and fire. In the evening, a dense fog rolls in and surrounds the village. The villagers begin to don armour and weapons, and you hear the unearthly shriek echoes out of the fog.

Shark Joygrove believes the fog creatures to be the dead, having risen from the barrow lands to the east. Neil Oak apologizes for tricking you, but explains that they desperately need your help.

Freedom

You are escorting a caravan between cities. Late one night you are on watch, and you hear a noise from the cargo. Investigating the sound you find it is coming from within the cargo. A small voice says: "Free us.".

Felicity Potter does not know what is in the crates, nor do they want to know.

The Frozen Lake

A lake has become frozen through, but it's the middle of summer. beneath the ice, someone can be heard screaming for help.

Elevrir Wilbur thinks the person calling for help is a demon.

Carrots

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

Paul Truthseeker says they survived an attack by biting the carrots back.

Under the Lake

A shining light has appeared out in the middle of the lake, under the water...

Olivier Crump has said they plan to swim out to the light and see what it is.

The Big Wave

A tsunami is quickly approaching the coast. It will hit landfall within the hour!

Miriam Reddy thinks everyone should try to evacuate.

The Death Screech

A painful screech went up from a nearby mountain a few days ago. Most think the dragon is dead, but no one is willing to go and investigate.

Iris Kensley would go, but they have a bum leg, or so they claim.

The Coming Dark

A tribe of dark elves have been banished from their home, and are looking for a new one.

Kashida Firestorm doesn't trust the elves.

Slime

A large mound of slime is making its way through the dungeon, eating everything in its path.
