Freedom

You are escorting a caravan between cities. Late one night you are on watch, and you hear a noise from the cargo. Investigating the sound you find it is coming from within the cargo. A small voice says: "Free us.".

Clark Gemleaf does not know what is in the crates, nor do they want to know.

Hairless

The sky turned purple for a short moment, and everyone in town has suddenly lost their hair.

Misha Roderick thinks they look better bald.

The Bloodening

A scream shatters the silence of the early morning. A woman stands beside town's well, horror-stricken, as blood drips from the water pail in her hands. There is a crack of thunder and the heavy clouds above release their deluge. The town's streets run red with blood.

Alia Belet is losing their mind, the end has come. Durante Marshall this must be punishment for allowing that warlock to practice his dark arts in town.

The Doll

A living doll has been blamed for multiple murders that have taken place in town.

Oisin Mowbry bought the doll as a gift.

You are part of a fleet of colony ships. Struck by a storm the fleet was scattered, and your ship makes landing on an unknown shore. The other ships are lost and the inhabitants are unhappy that you are here.

Shirley Pierce is concerned about the gathering storm clouds. Galen Watson expects the the land to be empty of intelligent beings.

The Fugitive

Elise Quaresh thinks everyone should just leave the old guy alone.

The Lost Treasure

A long forgotten treasure has become hot news again, when a map that supposedly leads to the treasure is found.

Homer Dempsy is intent on finding the treasure first.

Gold Filch

You reach to your coin purse the pay for the item and notice, to your dismay, that all your gold is missing.

Vivien Karim, the shopkeeper, checks his strong box and also finds his gold missing.

The Gate
