Ten Nights of the Beast: Your party arrives at a village that mysteriously is lacking children. Upon investigation you find that the children started disappearing some three weeks ago and the town is in complete despair. They do not know how the children are disappearing, but they do know that it happens at night when they are sleeping.

·Additional Info: Your party follows them into the doorway and find an entire village being built and maintained by children. This evil must be stopped at all cost!
The Evil Within: Your party has reached a bridge that crosses a large stream. As they pass, they feel as if they are attacked by something invisible and elusive. They manage to scare it away, but do not know what it is. They continue on the path to find a small village, whose residents are terrified. Your party is taken in as guests by a young, beautiful woman who is runs a local inn.

Heirlooms. The heiress Jenniselli has commissioned your party to retrieve a sword & shield from a woman named Lytania. Lytania was the mistress of Jenniselli’s husband, Rygr, a great knight who had eventually given up his prosperous life to be with his mistress. Rygr mysteriously died some two years ago, but his sword & shield has been kept by Lytania as a keepsake. Jenniselli gives you a stipend of 300 gold coins to purchase the sword & shield back, since they are family heirlooms. Your party is told not to investigate the death of Rygr, for even mention of his name brings shame to the family. If Lytania is not willing to sell the heirlooms to you, then your party is to use any means necessary to get them back.
·Additional Info: Lytania truly loved Rygr and is unwilling to sell back the sword & shield. Lytania’s brother, Tal, tells your party to wait by the inn and he will get the heirlooms for you. Tal arrives an hour later with the heirlooms and takes the money. Tal is part of a notorious gang in the area who tried to blackmail Rygr two years past, and eventually had to kill him. He killed his own sister for the 300 gp, and now plans to use his gang to kill your party and take your belongings!
Festival. The Harvest Sun festival is fast approaching the Manilow Kingdom, and the local baker had prepared his Kings Blood Cake for the opening day. Unfortunately the Cake was ruined when the understudy cook accidentally let in some stray cats. The Baker is furious, but is more concerned that his giant cake is ruined. He needs to make one quickly, but needs a rare ingredient which only grows at the bottom of Loch Dungeon. Will you retrieve this rare ingredient for him?
·Additional Info: The ruining of the cake was no accident. The understudy actually works for a competing baker, and has informed him that you are seeking out the ingredient. The competing baker will surely do all he can to stop your party.
