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.

Muriel Smyth is an expert in old elven lore, and funded the project. Riley Duval led the expedition to their location but returned home straight away.

Body Swap

Anyone who gets too close to a mysterious castle that's risen up overnight swaps bodies with whoever is closest to them at the moment.

Elana Norman swapped bodies with Stella Lucas and they both kind of like it.

The Haunted Bay

Ghosts are said to haunt a bay that was once home to a busy port. Some say the ghosts are from a sunken ship that crashed 100 years ago.

Joey El-Hasan thinks that the ghosts aren't real, and someone is playing a trick on the community.

Creeping Forest

When you awaken, the village is surrounded on all sides by an unfamiliar forest.

Amira Black waits at the edge of the forest. Shannon Mulgrew asks you to speak on behalf of the village

More Money!

Gold pieces have rained down from the sky over a small village. The new wealth has created some problems, to say the least.

Mugheer Roberts went from dirt poor to the richest in town.

The Ship

A wrecked warship has washed up on the beach. Problem is, it's a ship that hasn't even been launched yet from the nearby port.

Dawn Jayid is supposed to work on the ship during its maiden voyage.

Major Crimes

The dwarves of the southern hills have cut off all trade and closed their gates to any outsider without strict permission to enter. Someone has been shaving off their beards in the night, and they have asked your party to investigate.

Maxwell El-Hasan refuses to meet face to face with you, but rather wears a veil. Sarab Schmidt is so angry he flies off the handle at any mention of beards.

The Invisible Elf

After ingesting a strange plant, an elf has turned invisible.

Llewelyn Davis thinks the invisible elf has been stealing things from people.

Left for Dead

A man was attacked and left for dead on the side of the road. Now he's looking for help when it comes to getting revenge.

Athol Simpson is letting the man stay at their house.
