CONTINUATION OF ENCOUNTER




			Earl Able: Handyman Extraordinaire! [SIDE QUEST]

A Local man has a wagon and services he's willing to sell for a meager sum of 100 gold a month. If there is an accrual of debt then he will sell whatever is left on the cart to pay the bill. ->
His name is Earl Able, travel, organization, and repairman extraordinaire. He can cook, clean, maintain weapons, repair armor, find routes that will halve the time it takes to get to a locale, and he micro-brews on the side. (His meals and beers have certain effects that last for 4 hours). ->
His cart can carry up to a solid 5 tonne load before it is encumbered and goes at 1/2 pace. ->
If the party takes on Earl he has a little bit of baggage that follows him in the form of a band of adventurers that he was working for before he pawned their stuff off to pay their debts to him. They will demand their items back, as they had valuable magical items in their kit. ->
The party can give Earl up, and that will be the end of it. Otherwise they will have to fight a group of adventurers leveled to their level in CR with Leveled abilities of Rogue, Fighter, Wizard, and Cleric = to the player's levels. ->
LOOT: 200 Gold in total, a Bastard sword & Shield, a casting focus for Arcane Casters, Thief's Tools, a Healer's Kit.
If they win and Earl isn't dead then he gives them each a Magic Item as he couldn't sell them since they were worth too much where he went to pawn them. ->
Earl will then go back to feeding his Oxen and saying that if the players wish he can work for them at a discount from now on when they need a large wagon or a dedicated travel master. ->

			The Unsettled Swarm [SIDE QUEST]
The Party keeps hearing rumors about roadways that heave with an unhealthy green mist and once it's passed people go missing ->
There's evidence of struggles along wagon wrecks on the roads, claw marks, overturned wagons, corpses left behind are wildly mutilated ->
The party discovers, as a massive roil of glowing green mist washes over the dry, barren flatlands from the west that they are not alone on the trail ->
Inside the mist are vague humanoid silhouettes that are shambling closer ->
GHOUL STATBLOCK GOES HERE
Once the party defeats at least 6-10 of them the sun begins to rise and the monsters cede with the mists ->
QUEST TEMPORARILY ENDS THERE BUT THE ADVENTURERS WILL KEEP HEARING ABOUT THE MISTS AND HOW NOBODY WANTS TO GO SOUTH.

			Secret Agent Man [SIDE QUEST]
The party will find a 10,000G bounty from the government on a man named Jasper Lanius ->
The poster will warn any who go after the man that he is a heavily armed, vicious murderer ->
They will find him camped on a ridge overlooking the road from Gallows Gulch to Neverport, a faint trail of smoke atop the plateau hinting at his presence ->
When the party approaches he will give them a warning once, and then he will attack.
Jasper has been set up as a scapegoat by a government official due to him trying to connect settler skirmishes with a certain political figure, Noah Hawthorne. ->
Jasper thinks that Noah is attempting to keep lands free of settlers by making the land dangerously full of marauding bandits on his payroll. Lots of people die then there's no value, no value means cheap land, cheap land means you can buy loads of it en masse.
JASPER LANIUS STATBLOCK
He will mention that he believes he needs to track down a gang of lowlifes that go by the name of "Serpentine 13" ->
They are in a canyon that flattens out and have ridges along it's edge, maybe about 2-3 miles west ->
PLAYERS CAN THEN HELP OR NOT
The party must then sneak into the canyon and apprehend the leader and question him about his employer, and get proof of his payment and correspondence. ->
Party gets a letter invitation to go to a pateo party in Neverport, which Noah Hawthorne will be hosting, full of personally employed security. ->
