Locale

The Floor is Lava

A mad wizard has created a much to real game of the floor is lava for his grandson.

Vivien Hawkwing burned their foot the other day.

Crossroads

While travelling, you pass a crossroad with a small cemetery. A few hours later, you pass by the same crossroads, although you have not changed your direction.

Frances Clarke tells you not to go down that road. Bernie Harber smiles slightly too wide when talking to you.

Just a Dream

Every year on the night before your birthday, you dream that you are murdered by a man in black armour. You find yourself in an inn, the innkeeper is an old man. On the mantle is a wicked looking sword and familiar black armour...

Eden Belet says the innkeeper used to be an infamous adventurer many decades before. Nathaniel Bluepetal says the innkeeper's exploits are mostly unknown, as is where he got his armour.

Your Past, Your Present

You enter a village and realize it looks exactly the same as the village you grew up in. In fact, you see a child who looks strikingly similar to you playing in the fields.

Eden Shalamayne does not recognize you. Fribbington Monroe does not trust outsiders.

Silent as the Grave

You notice there are no birds singing this morning. As you travel, you also notice there are no insects or animals of any kind in this part of the land.

Bundringo Browntree, a druid, is gravely concerned about the forest along the northern road.

Loss

An elf named Cameron recently lost his wife in an attack. He needs help seeking revenge.

Linda Sams is worried Cameron will lose his humanity on a path of vengeance.

Avalanche

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

Shirley Pierre-Dupois is sure everyone will die.

The Surgeon

You spend a night drinking with the locals. You remember little from the night before when you awaken, strapped to an operating table.

Jackson Wilton tells you to take care in the city at night, some folk have been going missing. Aela Goldpetal cannot find his mother.

The Cloud

A massive gray stormcloud has appeared in the sky. Everyone's mood seems negatively affected by the cloud, and it's leading to trouble.
