An Ettin Crossing (C5)
Near the villages along the Voris River, an ettin has killed the local ferryman and claimed his home. While currently amiable, the giant needs to be dealt with and the mess cleaned up.

Rumor Map
Demons in the Woods (C5/6, D5/6/7, E5/6/7)
A standing bounty has been issued for gnoll activity in the Cruel Wood. Since the Demon War, the region has suffered intermittent attacks, but recent incidents suggest an increase in organized raids. Wild dogs and malformed beasts have been driven out of the forest, and roadside ambushes have become more common. Soldiers hold the roads but will no longer pursue targets into the woods. The Civil Legion is offering payment for confirmed gnoll kills in an effort to reduce pressure on nearby travel. Tags: Bounty, Combat, Wilderness

Rewards: Variable per kill

The Detention Protocol (D4/Tintown)
The Bronzeward Chronometer is losing time again. Bells are chiming late, heat valves are misfiring, and maintenance crews are refusing to go inside after dark. An independent clockworker has been quietly asking for capable hands to deal with whatever is moving within the tower, insisting it is not a simple mechanical fault. The job pays in coin and favors, requires no watch involvement, and comes with a warning from those who tried before: the tower is enforcing rules no one remembers agreeing to.

Splinters in the Ledgers (D4/Tintown)
The Shatterstaves are auditing their ledgers, and a friend of the Hundred in their supply chain is about to be noticed. A quartermaster’s records don’t quite add up—nothing damning on its own, but enough small errors to invite questions that shouldn’t be asked. Word through the underground is that this can still be fixed, quietly, if a few items end up where they were always “meant” to be and a couple of lines in the books stop drawing the eye. Discretion matters more than muscle on this one, and anyone who turns it loud will leave more behind than footprints. This is a dangerous mission.

The Unquiet Shelves (D4/Tintown)
Brassleaf Curios is shuttered and warded, and Orrin Brassleaf barely made it out alive after something inside his shop woke up angry. Furniture moves on its own, books strain at their chains, and anyone foolish enough to test the doors hears metal walking in the dark. Orrin is quietly asking for the Hundred by name—he needs discreet hands to enter, recover a cursed relic at the heart of the mess, and get out before the shop finishes turning itself into a deathtrap.

Bad Eggs (E4)
Farmers have been complaining about attacks on their poultry. Coops are being destroyed and there is no logical explanation. In addition, when the eggs are kept safe, many of them are resulting in stillborn animals.
