Kallum Duval knew they should have moved.

The Tome of Unspeakable Evil

An archaeological expedition unearths an ancient book. Within a week, all in the expedition are killed and the lead archaeologist kidnapped.

Reiko Hamid is mad because someone talked about it.

The Cheater

The townskeeper's wife has been seen out and about with another man. This is a problem, because the townskeeper is a crazy person.

Belor Wrynn believes a magical creature lives in the woods nearby. Avery Huon's dream is to see a unicorn in person.

The Hole

There's a hole in the middle of the forest that seems to move around at night. It's never in the same place twice, but sometimes there's music and voices coming out of it.

Ven Ashig knows a man who went into the hole and never came out.

The Bloodening

A scream shatters the silence of the early morning. A woman stands beside town's well, horror-stricken, as blood drips from the water pail in her hands. There is a crack of thunder and the heavy clouds above release their deluge. The town's streets run red with blood.

Max Duffield is losing their mind, the end has come. Jasmine Vinder this must be punishment for allowing that warlock to practice his dark arts in town.

The Pyromancer

Everytime a young girl in town has a bad dream, a structure is lit on fire. She can't control it, but having her around is dangerous.

Nico Ashfield wants to banish the child, while Riley Masak thinks maybe something worse is in order.

The Professionals
