The Runes

A new ancient dungeon has been discovered, and the walls are covered in carved runes from a dead language no one can speak or read. At least, until a small boy in a nearby town begins scratching the same runes into his own home.

Maz Miller is afraid of the boy, and wonders if the right thing to do is to simply eliminate him.

The Last Message

A body is found with a note clutched in its hand. The party feels as though the note should be delivered to the dead man's wife.

Avery Quaresh is the only person who can decipher the code written hastily at the bottom of the note.

Domestication or Slavery?

A group of wood elves have come into town during the night and freed all of the animals from captivity, refusing to return them. The townsfolk are prepared to go to war over this.

Sahin Rana will not free their animals, their survival relies on it.

Zealots

A new religion has swept the area, and those who believe are starting to round up and kill those who do not.

Max Wilton thinks that Skylar Hale is only pretending to be in the religion in order to survive.

Fight Club

A secret underground fight club has sprung up.

Barty Anwen is mad because someone talked about it.

The Host

A lonely old man is eager for company. He may not be who he says he is, however.

Hiaenna Enola warns everyone to stay away from the old man.

The Woman in White

You are haunted by visions of a dead woman in white. She disappears when you walk in a particular direction, but otherwise she bars your way.

Meara Kensley won't make eye contact with you. Eden Deakin calls you 'haunted', and makes a warding sign.

Ice Storm

A severe winter storm has hit, and it's going to take skill and luck to survive the deep freeze.

Eden Black is worried that they won't make it through the storm.

Poisoned

The town magistrate has been poisoned and hangs on the cusp of death.

Selene Marshall hated the magistrate.
