Kidnappings Continue
For over three moons a score of
Cauldron’s citizens have
disappeared. In the latest incident,
four children were kidnapped from
Lantern Street Orphanage. Despite
Inspector Innvar’s assurances that
his best man is trying to find the
missing persons, Cauldron’s citizens
worry that there are nefarious
forces at work in and around
Cauldron.
Some explanations:
“Evil cultists are kidnapping people
and sacrificing then to an evil god
who has two heads and tentacles
for arms.”
“A magical disease is causing people
in the city to vanish. The same
thing nearly wiped out the gnomes
of Jzaridune 75 years ago!”
“A cloaked figure collided with me
in the street and knocked me down.
She uttered some horrible curse,
glared at me with her ghostly face
and haunting blue eyes, then strode
off.”
Who or what is responsible for this
crisis? Could a secret guild of
Halfling rogues be responsible for
the kidnappings and robberies?
One thing is for sure, Keygan
Ghelve is one of the finest
locksmiths in the world. Only a
skilled rogue or spellcaster could
bypass one of his locks without the
proper key.
Wanted: Relgore Himtooth
2000 gp Reward. The bugbear
known as Relgore Himtooth is the
leader of a band of humanoid thugs
that prey on travelers and raid small
farmsteads, stealing the valuables
within and occasionally murdering
the occupants. Contact Sergeant
Skylar for reward.
Revelations or Hersey?
One of the stolen orphans is the
offspring of the Dwern and
Iomogen Stormshield, two
adventures who perished a few
years back.
One of the children kidnapped from
the orphanage is the bastard son of
the Lord Mayor.
Jeneer Everdawn, one of the
missing townsfolk, did volunteer
work at the local orphanage.
Coincidence? I don’t think so!
 Lord Mayor Navalant, Lord Taskerhill and Lord Vhalantru give audience to Inspector Innvarr

In the name of the Lord Mayor, Lord Vhalantru withdraws Cauldron’s men-at-arms from
their outposts and patrols. Lord Vhalantru’s remark, “In an effort to keep our streets safe
and concentrate our search for the missing kidnap victims.”

From the Church of Abadar, voiced by acting high priest Jenya Urikas, “The church vows to
find the missing children.”

From Caldron’s Exchequer - Someone in Cauldron trades in

strange currency. Coins stamped with a jester instead of
the sovereign. The authorities are trying to find the
source.

Merchants Announce Fishermen’s Longest Day Festival!

To be celebrated this Starday. A prize is awarded for the strangest
creature fished out of Crater Lake. Who knows what will appear in the
fishermen's nets this year? Perhaps the infamous tentacled beast lurking in
the cold depths of the lake?

Heard On the Street

Coryston Pike, one of the kidnapped victims, feared for her life days before
she vanished. Gryffon Malek and Krylscar Endercott knew each other. They
would meet each other after hours at the Tipped Tankard and drink until the
wee hours of the morning. Now they are both gone!
