Future Calls for Heroes

[Shadowfoot]

The Call for Heroes is a monthly event. What are some suggestions for future events that can be used for flavour? Obviously the reward needs to be too small for the PCs to be interested. As part of the relationship the PCs make with the townsfolk I expect there will be interest in seeing what is happening.

Missing farmers, Missing shipments, Lost livestock.

What else?

Someone is killing livestock and raising it from the dead.

Party may actually want to look into that actually.

It's a kid who found a ritual and has just enough knowledge to raise level -1 creatures from dead.

[Fumarole]

I'd tie in things already mentioned in the adventure.

Spoiler:

Try incorporating the Posandi family and their penchant for summoning devils. Perhaps a minor devil was seen outside of town and the council asks for someone to investigate.

Maybe the rest of the Bloody Blades cause trouble after the death of their comrades at Guardian's Way.

To pad out the downtime and keep my players from just rushing into the next adventure

Book 2/3 spoilers:

I didn't give them Eclipse at the end of Book 2. Instead, when the Scarlet Triad shows up in town in Book 3, I had them have it. Then I opened with a new Call for Heroes, this time with many people in town going missing instead of just the wainwright being kidnapped (and then only known to the PCs as they go to rescue him).

For the first CfG after the AP began, which fell between books 1 and 2, I gave the PCs a pair of slaving fae who had captured some Bumblebrashers (ones that had fled the citadel entirely and were believed dead).

The next one, expected to drop between books 2 and 3, will be a tense negotiation between Breach Creek Lumber and an arboreal regent, one prompted by a lamia matriarch's deceptions.

Then, between books 3 and 4, the PCs will be aiding a copper dragon in finally tracking down and bringing to (possibly permanent) justice one of the most dangerous and feared men in Avistan: Citizen Goss.
