The Tome of Unspeakable Evil

An archaeological expedition unearths an ancient book. Within a week, all in the expedition are killed and the lead archaeologist kidnapped.

Karen Alhara is an expert in old elven lore, and funded the project. Alendra Weston led the expedition to their location but returned home straight away.

They Come at Night

A roving band of creatures no one has ever seen before attacks towns and villages at night, killing all those within.

Crispin Marshall thinks a militia should be formed to protect their hometown.

The Weird Relic

You reach into your bag of holding and draw out an unfamiliar relic. It is a small doll-like figure, carved from bone. "Help me..." it cries, and small beads of water begin to drip from its carved eyes.

Weston Roundtree that bag of holding is ancient, must be one of the earliest of its kind,

Zealots

A new religion has swept the area, and those who believe are starting to round up and kill those who do not.

Felicity Joygrove thinks that Abdul Scourge is only pretending to be in the religion in order to survive.

The Double

Everyone saw the King die on the battlefield, and yet he just gave the victory speech a day later.

Fribbington Silvervalley is wondering if it's magic, or just an actor.

The Child

The king calls you to an audience. A young tiefling child is with him. He asks you to escort this child to a city far away, to ask no questions, and travel quietly and with haste. The trip is paid for, and you are offered a kingly sum as a reward. The King seems nervous.

Bundringo Crump, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Enzo Roderick saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.

Goblin Town

A town of peaceful goblin's needs help to protect themselves from humans intent on killing them all.

Maz Enola doesn't believe the goblins are peaceful. Morgan Gellar does, and is trying to stop the others from attacking.

Undead Friends

Those who have died in the last decade have risen from the graves, most no more than skeletons. They're not evil though, they're looking to pick up their lives right where they left off.

Morwen Tinkereye is less than pleased to see their old romantic partner eight years after they died.

Practical Research

A famous adventure writer wishes to be brought on a quest with your party. You are to show her the ropes and keep her safe. Her publisher is not happy about it.

Bernie Pierre-Dupois, the writer's agent, threatens you with legal action if any harm comes to the writer. Eden Quinn is the writer's #1 fan and offers to pay for the expedition if you let them come along.
