Into the Corn

A cornfield at a nearby farm lets people in, but does not let them out.

Salvatore Alma's brother went into the corn last week, and hasn't been seen since.

Behind the Villain

A dark lord who has been waging war against the kingdom for years turns out to be a fake. The real villain is a weakling human with a grudge.

Mushin Hickory swears they always knew something was up.

The Cursed Necklace

A woman in town was gifted a necklace by a secret admirer. Now she's sick, and quickly heading toward death.

The only suspect is Parker Monroe.

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...

Bundringo Carson says the innkeeper used to be an infamous adventurer many decades before. Lar Moran says the innkeeper's exploits are mostly unknown, as is where he got his armour.

The Helm of Slaughter

You find a beautifully crafted helmet. You put it on and after a few moments you hear a voice, "Yes... let the slaughter begin...". You are unable to remove the helmet.

Ivan Aquilegia suggests you don't wear the helmet until you have it inspected by a wizard. Michael Fitzgerald says a wizard will just try to take it, might as well wear it.

Puppets

A puppeteer has lost control of his puppets. He didn't even know they were alive.

Gavin Nozzlenuck is creeped out by the puppets.

The Relic

While perusing a local shop, you are drawn to an old, rusty sword. It feels familiar in your hand and when you turn it over you find your name engraved on the blade.

Corinna Stonesworn, the elderly shopkeeper, says the sword has been in this shop for as long as he can remember. Daisy Underhill recognizes you, but cannot quite place where from.

Civil War

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

Ismael Roderick was forced to kill their brother last night.
