Princess Power

A princess is said to be the only one powerful enough to defeat a reborn necromancer.

Dora Sebastian thinks that Vivian Norton is a servant of the necromancer.

Just a Dream

Every year on the night before your birthday, you dream that you are murdered by a man in black armour. You find yourself in an inn, the innkeeper is an old man. On the mantle is a wicked looking sword and familiar black armour...

Parasite

A small water based parasite has been attaching itself to people who swim in a nearby lake. Once attached, they can control the bodies of their hosts.

Caroc Huon is convinced they're the only person in town not possessed.

Sailor's Warning

It is midday and the sea suddenly pulls back from the shore, leaving docked ships stranded and tidal creatures scuttling for cover. A few moments later, skeletal figures rise from the receding tide and an unearthly bellow shatters the quiet.

Barty Arrias says the sea is acting strange this morning. Roman Pierce remarks that tide is all wrong.
