The Band

A travelling band is looking for help. They sold their souls to a demon in exchange for talent and fame, and now that demon has come to collect.

Edmond Grail used to be in the band, but left because they refused to sign the deal.

Creeping Forest

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

Hassan Laroque waits at the edge of the forest. Ralph Wynne asks you to speak on behalf of the village

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...

Ui Wood says the innkeeper used to be an infamous adventurer many decades before. Joel Wynne says the innkeeper's exploits are mostly unknown, as is where he got his armour.

The Secret Cave

The party is flagged down by a boy who is soaking wet. He leads the party to a nearby pond and dives under with them, leading everyone to an underground cave. The boy says his friend was taken while they were exploring.

The cave wall has three names carved into it. Riley Turner, Marcellus Whisperwind, and Gia Dalton.

Off Day!

There's nothing to do today! Absolutely nothing!

Karakta Lucas said something, but you don't even need to listen!

Seven Heads of Fury

A hydra is constantly attacking the boats trying to make for port, just off the coast.

Tamsin Hynes is willing to pay 500 gp to anyone who slays the beast.

Monkey Business

Everyone who owns a shop has been turned into a monkey.

Doran Brown is actually a pretty cute monkey.

The Hairy King

The King has come down with a case of the ol' werewolf-itis. The Queen would prefer no one know.

Ismael Erwin has their suspicions that the King might be a werewolf.

The Cloud

A massive gray stormcloud has appeared in the sky. Everyone's mood seems negatively affected by the cloud, and it's leading to trouble.

Jordan Selentia hasn't stopped crying in a week.
