What Now?

Another group of adventurers has killed the Big Bad.

Jax Wolfbrother thought your group would be the one to do it.

Civil War

A massive city has taken arms up against one another, the sides naturally bisected by a river which runs through town.

Joanna Mervor was forced to kill their brother last night.

The Child

The king calls you to an audience. A young tiefling child is with him. He asks you to escort this child to a city far away, to ask no questions, and travel quietly and with haste. The trip is paid for, and you are offered a kingly sum as a reward. The King seems nervous.

Arish Monroe, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Helena Gellar saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.

The Sage

A friend has come down with a strange illness. It is killing him, and your only lead to a cure is a powerful elven healer who lives deep in the western woods.

Eden El-Hasan met with the elven sage last spring at a shrine in the mountains. Marion Wynne believes the sickness is a curse and must be broken through action, rather than salves and herbs.

The Great Tree

There is a magical tree which grows in the forest that has been targeted by drow.

The drow wish to remove the tree in an effort to weaken the beings who live in the forest. Friedrich Wilton needs help stopping them.

The Lone Elf

An elf named Raven is the lone survivor of an attack by a goblin horde. Someone needs to convince her she shouldn't stay alone in the forest.

Jackson Bigtooth says Raven is standoffish and rude.

Everlasting Life

A mysterious stranger is willing to sell a potion that he says grants everlasting life, for the low low price of 1,000 gp.

Elias Freeman is thinking about trying to raise the money needed.

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.

Elias Pierce, the priest in this town, never warmed to you while you were in town. Graak Mudclaw doesn't trust the priest.
