The old adventurer sitting at the inn table looks tired, worn, and beaten. He tries to smile, fails, and instead just looks at his mug of warm ale. He says there's a treasure to be found that he will pay you to find. He'd get it himself, but he's in no shape to do so and not as young as he once was. He'll pay you up front and you are welcome to keep all the treasure you find along the way. When you ask him what the catch is, he mumbles something about a crumbling tomb, monsters, and a rampaging ghost. You shrug. A jobs a job and you could use the gold. Time to go make a living the hard way.
Our goal is to have an epic adventure using one quest per week. This means it will take us roughly around 20 weeks to complete the campaign, "The Shadow Rune".

Quietly, you move through the treeline, looking for any signs of movement on the horizon. Pausing for a moment, you carefully examine a set of tracks. They look to be fresh, big, and heavy. There's a buck nearby. As your heart rate increases, you do what you can to settle your nerves. If the majestic animal is still close, you'll need to position yourself and wait. Or should you press on and keep looking, in hopes of sneaking up on the deer? Make a choice and risk it all or play it safe. Just keep in mind that no legendary hunting story ever began with, "So I called it a day and went back home."
The mighty oceans are deep and vast, and can award a skipper of a shrimping boat endless bounty if they know where to look and are quick to react. The shrimp are there for the taking, but keep a steady eye on the horizon! Other shrimping boats sail these waters and mean to catch the same shrimp you are counting on. Looks like a simple and relaxing fishing trip just got serious. Roll up your sleeves and lock your eyes on the prize. There's shrimp to win!
