The Usurper

A man has attempted to kill the king, failed, and then made a daring escape from the castle. It's likely he's going to try again.

Tenjon Ashbringer saw Ego Altharia speaking with the man in the days leading to the attack.

Horde of the Mountain King

You find a map at the bottom of a chest. It is written in Dwarvish and, if read, identifies a treasure horde hidden high in the mountains

Lysander Davis thinks this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make it rich. Valnis Heartpound is concerned about what else might be guarding the horde...

The Shop

A traveling salesman claims he can get anything for anyone. For a price. He's set up shop just outside of town.

Doran Cunningham is wondering if the salesman can get his hands on a magical necklace.

Into the Corn

A cornfield at a nearby farm lets people in, but does not let them out.

Rebecca Kelshall's brother went into the corn last week, and hasn't been seen since.

The Experiment

While investigating a missing person you come across an abandoned lab. To your dismay, you find notes and diagrams making reference to you.

Parker Laroque heard screams coming from that part of the sewers at night. Sawyer Greenflower went missing last week, their mother is worried sick.

Seven Heads of Fury

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

Dmitri Rook is willing to pay 500 gp to anyone who slays the beast.

Forest Fire

A raging fire burns through the forest.

Sophie Marid is worried they'll lose their home.

Sea You Later

The sea has dried up overnight.

Daniel Hamid is wondering if it's their fault somehow.
