The Fight

A famous pugilist is looking for one last fight.

Symond Beech is interested in taking up the challenge.

The Buried Giant

A large hill is gone as dawn breaks. What was thought to be a hill turned out to be a giant resting beneath the earth. He's awake now.

Peter Silverleaf has a fear of giants.

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.

Baasim Monroe tells you not to go down that road. Alicia Mervor smiles slightly too wide when talking to you.

The Secret Cave

The party is flagged down by a boy who is soaking wet. He leads the party to a nearby pond and dives under with them, leading everyone to an underground cave. The boy says his friend was taken while they were exploring.

The cave wall has three names carved into it. Elvira White, Conn Miller, and Olivier Sebastian.

Body Swap

Anyone who gets too close to a mysterious castle that's risen up overnight swaps bodies with whoever is closest to them at the moment.

Riley Scott swapped bodies with Durante James and they both kind of like it.

Wild Wind

The wind lately is so severe it's almost impossible to walk in.

Tenjon Vonner blew away yesterday.

Loss

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

Henry Diamondtree is worried Cameron will lose his humanity on a path of vengeance.

Princess Problems

A princess is said to disappear once a month, and no one can find her. It may be related to the bodies around town that spring up that same night.

Finley Cunningham feels crazy for being the only person to realize the princess is a werewolf.

The Actor

A travelling acting troupe has come to town. They are doing a mystery play, which seems to come true the very night the perform it.

Olivia Darwin thinks the lead actor, an elf named Garson, may be killing people.
