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.

Jackson Shad would go, but they have a bum leg, or so they claim.

A Dire Path

The obvious path to your goal is blocked. There is a side route however, but it is far more dangerous.

Tiffany Autumn feels the path was blocked on purpose. Oisin Treespeaker is comfortable going underground.

The Floor is Lava

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

Sawyer Huon burned their foot the other day.

The Resort

A mountain tourist town is empty. It was just filled to capacity the night before.

The only person in the town is Kelsey Molyneaux and they don't remember a thing.

The Mad King

The King has declared that all of his subjects are evil and must be put to the sword. It seems as though his knights are perfectly willing to do this.

Virginia Clarke has heard whispers that the King himself has been brainwashed by Talwyn Colman.

Avalanche

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

Theodora Shadowmourne is sure everyone will die.

Mimic Mania

A dungeon is filled with nothing but mimics. That chest is a mimic, that torch is a mimic, the dungeons itself? Naaaah, couldn't be, right?

Mila Shalamayne was bitten by a mimic.

Goblin Town

A town of peaceful goblin's needs help to protect themselves from humans intent on killing them all.

Edmond Dalton doesn't believe the goblins are peaceful. Blake Wolfbrother does, and is trying to stop the others from attacking.

Domestication or Slavery?

A group of wood elves have come into town during the night and freed all of the animals from captivity, refusing to return them. The townsfolk are prepared to go to war over this.

Zie Hume will not free their animals, their survival relies on it.
