The Fugitive

An old man is said to be a war criminal in the last great war and has been hiding out and posing as the innkeep for the last fifty years. Now people are closing in, and he doesn't know what he should do.

Taylor Norman thinks everyone should just leave the old guy alone.

The Spread

A disease has been slowly spreading throughout the city. It appears to be undetected by Detect Poison or Disease. Half-Orcs are not affected by the disease.

Nina Kastrix thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Reiko Michaels refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.

The Voices

A random group of people around the globe have suddenly begun hearing the same voices whispering to them. The voices tell each of the group to "prepare for war."

{character is jealous that Larson Scott can hear the voices.

Blinded

Half the population is blind suddenly.

River Hasan is thankful they can still see.

It Writhes in the Deeps

A massive, terrifying sea monster washes up on shore next to the city with a massive bite taken out of its side. Over the next week many ships are lost at sea,

Roan Graystripe believes there is always a bigger fish. Riley Huon is a doomsayer who believes this is an omen of the end.

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.

Marcellus Weston won't make eye contact with you. Jim Everett calls you 'haunted', and makes a warding sign.

Race Against Time

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

Doran Faelyn is willing to let the party borrow horses.

Avalanche

An avalanche is moving swiftly down the mountain and will be here in moments.

Maz Blackclaw is sure everyone will die.

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.

Felix Goldpetal is the only person who can decipher the code written hastily at the bottom of the note.
