Locale

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 Larson White.

Forest Fire

A raging fire burns through the forest.

Torek Deakin is worried they'll lose their home.

Grimoire Gone

A great wizard's spellbook has been stolen. The spellbook holds one of the rarest and most destructive spells.

Rowan Zaki is terrified that the Wizard's spell is in the world. Parker Ferrier may have information on a possible thief.

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.

Dana Marshall believes the fog creatures to be the dead, having risen from the barrow lands to the east. Jonas Hume apologizes for tricking you, but explains that they desperately need your help.

Wolves and Sheep

Upon arriving in town you notice the people are downtrodden. As well, the tavern interior is trashed. A group of brigands lives nearby.

Yasmin Hogan is concerned the brigands controlling the trade route out of town is going to kill everyone in the town. Taylor Ali knows where the brigands attack caravans

The Reluctant Killer

You hear shouts, and round the corner to find a shirtless elf standing in a practiced combat stance with his blade readied. He is surrounded by local thugs. You should help, but you are unsure who is threatening who.

Cloee Abasi came to this city to find his daughter, but has been spurned by the humans who live in the town.

Hidden Gods

Various normal beings have transformed into gods. Some claim it's magic, some claim they were always gods in hiding.

Stewert AnaanShan is upset they didn't turn into a god.

The Host

A lonely old man is eager for company. He may not be who he says he is, however.

Selena Roberts warns everyone to stay away from the old man.

A Most Inconvenient Murder

You are on a ship crossing the sea. On board is your party, a nobleman and his wife, a known rake, a beautiful young debutante, the ship's captain, a well known adventurer and a famous detective. One morning, the nobleman is murdered and you were the last one to see him alive.
