players can choose any guard they’ve met.

local magic academy. They take requests
for magic assistance but can’t really do
anything themselves. An appropriate level
mage will visit each customer within a
few days. The students get a cut of the
revenue towards their tuition, so they can
be very pushy.
60 A nearby tent displays various works of
art. The artists are there for questions
about their pieces.

objects and performs low level spells at a

own banner booth. An enchanter can be
hired to enchant the banner.

tiefling monster hunter, and a female elf
beast trainer are all locals in the town.
Each year they meet for drinks at the fair,
before competing in their own special
game: Ooze Cruise. Each participant is
required to bring an ooze to the event.
3 premade stone towers are erected at
the outskirts of the fair. The participants
climb some scaffolding to place their
ooze at the top. The first ooze to eat their
way to the bottom of the tower wins.

competition has attracted the attention of
the townsfolk who enjoy betting on the
competition.

tasked to lift an impossibly heavy rock for
1G, if you can the prize is 50g. (Strength
Check)

the first person to reach the top is the
winner. Everyone tries to climb at the
same time. (Athletics Check)

a crystal ball… Or she reads the lines in
your hands… Either way, it’s up to the
DM whether it’s true divination.
