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.

Preston Wynne thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Chloe Miller refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.

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. Daniel Leaffall, Ruther Mowbry, and Ui Reddy.

The Waning
