Druid Trouble

All druids have suddenly turned evil.

A militia led by Yasmeen Enola are going to hunt down druids.

Family Heirloom

You enter a city for the first time, and after a few hours wandering about you see a man carrying a particular sword. You recognize it, as it was your father's (or mother's) sword.

Renee Norton has no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Valeria Browntree has seen that man before, wearing that sword.

The Other World

Another world has appeared in the sky, very near to this world.

Cassius Bryce thinks they might exist on that world, and have a better life.

The Menu

A tavern has become quite well known for having delicious food. Problem is, the food is made up of humanoids.

Owen Carson bit into their meatloaf and pulled out a ring.

Seeing Double

Anyone who touches a mysterious rock which fell from the sky separates into two people, one of which is good, the other evil.

Fiona Terryn is thinking about touching the rock.

Buried Alive!

You awaken to the sound of a bell tolling. You are laying down in the dark, surrounded by stone. Understanding is quickly follow by panic as you have been entombed alive.

Cain Norton, the priest in this town, never warmed to you while you were in town. Cora Selwyn doesn't trust the priest.

Ambushed from Within

One of the wagons you are escorting suspiciously loses a wheel in the middle of a forest road. The other guards whisper to one another and ready their weapons.

The caravan master was convinced to hire these guards in the previous town. Orren Ghani mistrusts the new guards.

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.

Finley Sybil swears they saw you with the nobleman last night. Penelope Darwin wishes to call everyone together to find the killer.

Maniac Maze
