Goblin Infestation
In this scenario, the party is tasked with clearing out a group of goblins that have taken over a mine. They require the help of an NPC named Lucius Ravenswood, a minor who knows the layout of the mine. Lucius has a hidden agenda of seeking to preserve a secret within the mine and wants the players to rescue a group of miners held captive by the goblins. He has an adversarial attitude and is known for tracking down information or secrets. However, he also has a fear of spiders.
Missing Heirloom
The party is hired to investigate the theft of a valuable family heirloom and suspects a rival merchant of stealing it. They need the assistance of Maximus Swiftblade, an NPC fence who can provide information about the local thieves guild and help track down the stolen goods. Maximus owes the players a favor and has an indifferent attitude towards them. However, he is currently in danger due to his addiction to gambling. Maximus is known for intimidating others into compliance and tends to speak in rhymes or poetry.
Cursed Artifact
The party discovers a cursed artifact causing havoc in a nearby town. They require the help of Sarah Feat Starling, an NPC wizard skilled in ancient curses and magical artifacts. However, Sarah is secretly hostile and seeking a treasure or artifact related to the curse. She wants the party to execute a heist or robbery to obtain it. Sarah is known for forging documents and disguising oneself and tends to hum a particular song or tune. She is imprisoned, possibly by a cult involved with the cursed artifact, and her hidden agenda is to use the party to worsen the situation and unleash the power of the curse.
