The Lost Treasure

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

Kashida Jayid is intent on finding the treasure first.

Yeti Trouble

Snoe creatures have formed an army and are sweeping across the frozen landscape.

Fribbington Alma is putting together a group of hunters.

A Blade without Peer

A legendary blacksmith has set up in a nearby village. She has heard that a star of metal fell in the nearby hills, and offers to make a weapon of magnificence for any who bring her the metal.

Lydia Haggard can guide you to the location where the star fell. Jonas Ward noticed more goblins and orcs in the hills nearby to the fallen star.

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.

Ego Lesley believes this attack happened because the fort is right on the edge of a magical forest. Femlin Hamid can guide you to your destination for a fee.

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.

Fribbington Skullcrusher saw a thin man fleeing the scene of the crime.

Into the Unknown

You are being chased through the dungeon by a horde of monsters. You come to a final room with no exits but for one swirling red portal which leads to lands unknown.

Finley Michaels, your guide, does not wish to enter any unknown portals.

Clocktower

A massive, miles high clocktower has sprung up in the middle of the continent. No one knows what awaits adventurers at the top.

Mica Enola was first into the clocktower, but has not come back.

Just a Dream

Every year on the night before your birthday, you dream that you are murdered by a man in black armour. You find yourself in an inn, the innkeeper is an old man. On the mantle is a wicked looking sword and familiar black armour...

Selene Wilton says the innkeeper used to be an infamous adventurer many decades before. Monica Greennose says the innkeeper's exploits are mostly unknown, as is where he got his armour.

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.

Dmitri Marshall will not free their animals, their survival relies on it.
