The village is quick to welcome you to their food and fire. In the evening, a dense fog rolls in and surrounds the village. The villagers begin to don armour and weapons, and you hear the unearthly shriek echoes out of the fog.

Marilyn Marshall believes the fog creatures to be the dead, having risen from the barrow lands to the east. Sasha Masak apologizes for tricking you, but explains that they desperately need your help.

The Voices

A random group of people around the globe have suddenly begun hearing the same voices whispering to them. The voices tell each of the group to "prepare for war."

{character is jealous that Fribbington Lucas can hear the voices.

The Gate

Bandits have created a gate overnight and are insisting people pay a toll.

Elise Goldpetal thinks the village militia should just kill the bandits.

The Painting

An old woman has died, and townsfolk are cleaning out her home when they find a strange and grotesque painting of a thin man covered in a black veil. The veil was removed, but the painting is stuck on the wall. That same night, someone was murdered.

Sarab Sorra saw a thin man fleeing the scene of the crime.

The Prisoner

Under Siege

A letter arrives from a nearby lesser noble. Their fort is under siege from an unknown enemy force attacking from the nearby forest. They request aid from such renowned adventurers.

Canton Boone believes this attack happened because the fort is right on the edge of a magical forest. Roger Pierce can guide you to your destination for a fee.
