What Lurks in the Fog?

The village is quick to welcome you to their food and fire. In the evening, a dense fog rolls in and surrounds the village. The villagers begin to don armour and weapons, and you hear the unearthly shriek echoes out of the fog.

Harold Zaki believes the fog creatures to be the dead, having risen from the barrow lands to the east. Eden Teagrass apologizes for tricking you, but explains that they desperately need your help.

Enemy of my Enemy

A warning cry echoes across the fields surrounding the village, looking toward the forest's edge you see a large band of orcs come charging out. Drawing your weapons, you realize the orcs are not attacking, they are fleeing from something else.

Shangela Watson believes the orcs are dangerous and should not be allowed into the town. Luna Freeman believes working with the orcs is best for all involved

Race Against Time

The Townskeeper has been poisoned. The only cure is made by a strange old wizard who lives a days ride away.

Joseph Crump is willing to let the party borrow horses.

The Floor is Lava

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

Simon El-Hasan burned their foot the other day.

The Floating City

A large city has taken to the air overnight. The ground it rests on has pulled up from the rest of the earth and streaked skyward, leaving the city floating a mile above where it should be.

Erica Norton was overheard talking about the city floating a week before it actually did.

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.

Garrus Balbrek feels crazy for being the only person to realize the princess is a werewolf.

Cats!

Everyone is turning into cats when the moon rises.

Mervyn Nighy is the only person who is seemingly immune.

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.

Qualen Haggard, the priest in this town, never warmed to you while you were in town. Dana Ferrier doesn't trust the priest.

Sleep

After a comet slams into the ground next to a town, anyone who goes to sleep in that town doesn't wake up. It landed four days ago, and there's very few people left.

Danforth Frost's sister is one of those still awake.
