Political suicide
 
One by one the city’s politicians have been brutally murdered. Now no-one is willing to take office and the city is slowly slipping into anarchy.
 
Synopsis
 
A large city state has seen all its politicians murdered one by one. Now officials are resigning in fear and no one is willing to take any kind of public office. Local law enforcement have got no leads and the city is beginning to slip into anarchy. Your adventurers must find the culprit and keep the city running in the meantime.
 
 
The haunted woods
 
On a scouting mission you find an un-touched gold mine. You could be rich beyond your wildest dreams. But you will need to tell some lies to get it.
 
Synopsis
 
Your party are sent to scout a location for a new settlement and rid the area of beasts. However, after a brief look round, it becomes apparent that you are standing on top of a huge seam of gold. You could be rich but you’ll have to convince the townsfolk not to move here and to forever avoid these ‘haunted’ woods.
 
 
Friends in need
 
An ‘earthquake’ has caused the collapse of large parts of an underground dwarven city. You must find survivors, survive yourself and discover the cause of these quakes.
 
Synopsis
 
A messenger arrives from a nearby dwarven city. An earthquake has caused a cave in and hundreds are trapped, dying or dead. You must send aid. However, it soon becomes clear that these are not natural earthquakes and to prevent further death, your party will need to find the source of the ‘quakes’ and put a stop to it.
