The Lost Treasure

A long forgotten treasure has become hot news again, when a map that supposedly leads to the treasure is found.

Gert Northrend is intent on finding the treasure first.

Reparations

Goblins have come to town looking for money and supplies to be donated for their years of suffering at the hands of the townspeople.

Max Wildwood is on the goblin's side.

The Treasure Map

Someone in town wants to hire adventurers to escort them to a location said to have a lot of treasure, at least based on this old map they found.

Jill Wolfbrother believe the treasure is real, while Riley Hale does not.

Off Day!

There's nothing to do today! Absolutely nothing!

Haryk Faelyn said something, but you don't even need to listen!

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.

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

An Evil Lurks

A long abandoned fortress to the north has been seen lit up at night by floating blue lights. A foul air permeates the nearby land.

Sumesh Weston warns that odd fey creatures live in the region. Jonas Connington wouldn't go near the fortress if you paid them.

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.

Simon Laroque saw a thin man fleeing the scene of the crime.

A Town of Ghosts

A nearby town has gone dark. When investigated, it turns out everyone in the town is dead, but their spirits are trapped there.

Rory Ghani was the first to die. Maxwell Hale is the one who killed them.

Left for Dead

A man was attacked and left for dead on the side of the road. Now he's looking for help when it comes to getting revenge.
