The Hairy King

The King has come down with a case of the ol' werewolf-itis. The Queen would prefer no one know.

Miriam Kaye has their suspicions that the King might be a werewolf.

Invaders!

A race of warriors, not known to these lands, has landed on the shores of the kingdom and displaced several villages and farms. They are not just raiders, and have already begun to establish settlement.

Neil Pierce watched the invaders burn a village. Klaudia Hawkwing wants revenge and is gathering a host to attack the invaders.

The Shop

A traveling salesman claims he can get anything for anyone. For a price. He's set up shop just outside of town.

Sulfras Hamilton is wondering if the salesman can get his hands on a magical necklace.

The Pursuer

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

Barnston Terryn and their partner Amy Marshall were both in the squad, and are looking to pay bodyguards to keep them safe.

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.

Frederick Northrend that bag of holding is ancient, must be one of the earliest of its kind,

The Murder

A large murder of crows descends upon the city you are in. They watch you as you walk through the streets.

Heidi Barrow says that crows are a bad omen. Paul Wynne hates birds.

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.".

Duck Rowanfang does not know what is in the crates, nor do they want to know.

Monster Maker

A man plans to exact revenge on all those who slighted him by creating a monster that will follow his every command.

Dina Reddy isn't too worried. The guy who wants to create the monster is a known failure.

Brewfest

The brew fest has arrived! But the caravan carrying the brew has not, and it has now been a week overdue.

Lucy Darwin ordered the brews from the nearby city weeks ago. Gert Weston is prepared to cancel the breakfast if the brews are not found.
