Ghost Horse

A hauntingly scary phantom horse is frightening people at night.

Hugh Wrynn is wondering if the horse is a warning.

The Painting

An old woman has died, and townsfolk are cleaning out her home when they find a strange and grotesque painting of a thin man covered in a black veil. The veil was removed, but the painting is stuck on the wall. That same night, someone was murdered.

Elise Loch saw a thin man fleeing the scene of the crime.

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.

Trixie Travis feels crazy for being the only person to realize the princess is a werewolf.

The Hairy King

The King has come down with a case of the ol' werewolf-itis. The Queen would prefer no one know.

Raven Wazels has their suspicions that the King might be a werewolf.

Parasite

Jaden Quinn is convinced they're the only person in town not possessed.

The Chosen

A young boy is being sought out. It is believed he is the only one who can destroy a great evil.

Brenda Anguish worked with a group to hide the boy so none could find him.

Leif Deverin is concerned about the gathering storm clouds. Ruby Duval expects the the land to be empty of intelligent beings.

It Writhes in the Deeps

A massive, terrifying sea monster washes up on shore next to the city with a massive bite taken out of its side. Over the next week many ships are lost at sea,

Gregory Rana believes there is always a bigger fish. Duck Dresdain is a doomsayer who believes this is an omen of the end.
