Life is for the Undead The party finds a cemetery casino owned and operated by skeletons. The food is not great because the chef literally has no taste, but the games are pretty fun. There are dice made out of knuckle-bones, a roulette wheel, cards, and a lawn bowling game where you use the dealer's skull as a ball. The gambling skeletons are having trouble with nearby church officials. The clerics say it is about gambling and not about the living dead, but you get the feeling there's some stuff going on under the surface. ---- Battle of the Kobold Philosophers The gang passes near a kobold warren cut into a hillside. Normally the kobolds would shakedown travelers for "valley fees" but today the kobolds are arguing loudly with one another. A shaman is shouting that material fire is what powers magical fire. A sorcerer is shouting that magical fire is what makes regular fire. The kobolds are more or less torn between their two leaders and if no one stops them, they are going to start a massive brawl. ---- One Stone Unturned An ancient waystone is tumped over in the mud and asks the gang to right it and carry a message to the next waystone in [City Name]. The gang isn't sure if the other waystone is even still standing. ---- The World in a Grain of Sand While gathering fire wood, one of the gang finds a colony of red ants building tiny little ramparts and irrigating itty bitty canals. If they search they will find another colony building its own fortifications near a dead mule. ---- A Genius Loci As the sun dims in the sky, the gang hears an awful buzzing. Pushing through heavy underbrush they find a severed horse head hung from a tree. The head is full of wasps. The horse's teeth are glowing softly and the gang feels a strange presence. There are no signs of who did this or why. If anyone has enough lore or knowledge religion they may recognize they are in the presence of a shrine to a local, minor spirit. ---- A Very Cold Case Collecting water from a stream, they find a broken pot and a bit of petrified wood. If they dig out the bank a bit, they will find three ancient skeletons, many broken pots each stamped with a maker's mark, and parts of a flat bottomed river going boat. There is a small satchel of silver coins with the same maker's mark. These coins were probably hidden although their cubby has long since rotted away. There are signs of violence on the bones. Who murdered these men and why? ---- A Crafty Devil The smallest demon you have ever seen is operating a road side stand right next to the fruit and wine vendors. The devil is selling trinkets with "sinister" curses that are mostly cute or actually useful like a beer mug that makes everything icy, a letter opener that sets junk mail on fire, and a glass necklace that sparkles "very distractingly." The tiny demon is standing on a stool and wearing a teeny top hat with a blue jay feather ("the most tricksy of birds"). |
