Trouble In Red Larch

When the characters arrive in Red Larch, a few minutes of conversation with any NPC reveals that the townsfolk are concerned about strange events. Asking around about what's going on in town points the party toward the following NPCs:

• Outlaws are lurking out on the Cairn Road, but Constable Harburk hasn’t found anything.

• Minthra Mhandyvver’s granddaughter Pell saw a ghost by an old tomb not far from town.

• The Tarnlar children are telling wild takes about plague out by Lance Rock.

• Kaylessa Irkell, the owner of the Swinging Sword Inn thinks the town’s troubles might have a common source.

• Quarry workers at Mellikho Stoneworks say that mysterious figures wearing stone masks watch them when they work at night. The workers now refuse to stay in the quarry after dark.

• Workers at Waelvur’s Wagonworks have been talking about suspicious activity around the workship. They can be found drinking in the Helm at Highsun most evenings.

Several Red Larch NPCs can direct adventurers to nearby encounters.
