The Deadly Gaze

A man in town can kill anyone by looking into their eyes.

Sisco Northrend has taken to wearing a blindfold.

Worms!

After the torrential rains lately, thousands, if not millions, of earthworms are overrunning town.

Jackson Halburn likes to fish, so they're not stressed about the worms.

The Floor is Lava

A mad wizard has created a much to real game of the floor is lava for his grandson.

Qualen Mehmed burned their foot the other day.

The Helm of Slaughter

You find a beautifully crafted helmet. You put it on and after a few moments you hear a voice, "Yes... let the slaughter begin...". You are unable to remove the helmet.

Clementine Belet suggests you don't wear the helmet until you have it inspected by a wizard. Avital Enola says a wizard will just try to take it, might as well wear it.

Snakes on a Plain

The plain has become overrun with snakes.

John Hawkwing hasn't been seen for days.

The Hole

There's a hole in the middle of the forest that seems to move around at night. It's never in the same place twice, but sometimes there's music and voices coming out of it.

Neil Marshall knows a man who went into the hole and never came out.

It Writhes in the Deeps

A massive, terrifying sea monster washes up on shore next to the city with a massive bite taken out of its side. Over the next week many ships are lost at sea,

Olivier Rowe believes there is always a bigger fish. Indra Birchfall is a doomsayer who believes this is an omen of the end.

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.

Duck Lonerock believes the fog creatures to be the dead, having risen from the barrow lands to the east. Yoko Chainbreaker apologizes for tricking you, but explains that they desperately need your help.

It Awakens

There is an old, forgotten and sealed tomb that the local children like to visit. After the thaw of winter the tomb is left open and empty... broken from the inside.

Altes Greene often reminds children not to go near the tomb. Rowan Cruise has seen the ghost of an old man near the tomb.
