The Buried Fortress

A recent earthquake has uncovered what looks to be a massive fortress that was built underground.

Cloee AnaanShan thinks the fortress sank, Yasmeen Clarke thinks it was built underground.

More Money!

Gold pieces have rained down from the sky over a small village. The new wealth has created some problems, to say the least.

Sumesh Spall went from dirt poor to the richest in town.

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.

Alondra Sebastian that bag of holding is ancient, must be one of the earliest of its kind,

Arm Wrestling Champion

An arm wrestling league is looking to crown it's latest champion.

Christopher Smyth thinks they have what it takes to win.

Sadness

Everyone in town can't stop crying.

Max Reedwater hasn't cried in years until now.

Domestication or Slavery?

A group of wood elves have come into town during the night and freed all of the animals from captivity, refusing to return them. The townsfolk are prepared to go to war over this.

Sumesh Duval will not free their animals, their survival relies on it.

What Lurks in the Fog?

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.

Sawyer Clarke believes the fog creatures to be the dead, having risen from the barrow lands to the east. Bella Enola apologizes for tricking you, but explains that they desperately need your help.

The Relic

While perusing a local shop, you are drawn to an old, rusty sword. It feels familiar in your hand and when you turn it over you find your name engraved on the blade.

Maz Duffield, the elderly shopkeeper, says the sword has been in this shop for as long as he can remember. Finley Simpson recognizes you, but cannot quite place where from.

The Pursuer

A hulking monster has been sent to hunt down members of a military squad which fought in the last great war.

Charlie Mazdul and their partner Simon Marid were both in the squad, and are looking to pay bodyguards to keep them safe.
