A puppeteer has lost control of his puppets. He didn't even know they were alive.

Abbas Terryn is creeped out by the puppets.

Allez Cuisine

A great beast has set itself outside the town you are in. It demands to be fed the most delicious food or it will east the townsfolk instead. You must prepare an elaborate five course meal using local ingredients.

Finley Briggs has tried to cook everything they could think of but the beast will not be satisfied. Riley Quicktongue is prepared to attack the beast if need be, but is willing to wait until you make an attempt.

Freedom

You are escorting a caravan between cities. Late one night you are on watch, and you hear a noise from the cargo. Investigating the sound you find it is coming from within the cargo. A small voice says: "Free us.".

Robert Vinder does not know what is in the crates, nor do they want to know.

Ale Troubles
