Pollution Lake (Lamashan (X) 30-31st, 4708 AR)

-

Once per month — on Lamashan 31st — the Petal River ran foul with a strange metallic scent and those who drank from it could become nauseated for days. Sir Tolgrith was aware of this problem and stockpiled water in anticipation of the event, but he had been unable to determine the source of the pollution. He asked the heroes to track it down and eliminate it if possible. This problem could only be solved on Lamshan 31st, as it was impossible to track at any other time. When they followed the course of the pollution on Lamashan 31st, the heroes were led to the following location.

The foul and murky water ran on for miles, eventually ending at the shore of the Mist Lake, a body of water perpetually shrouded in steam. There, near to the bank, was an odd sight. Spectral forms rose out of the lake to do battle with an unseen foe. As the minutes passed, more and more of the ghostly soldiers fell into the lake, their blood creating a great stain in the water.

The heroes identified these forms as spirits of the forces of Cheliax and the barbarian lords. The heroes realized the best way to put them at peace was to stop their unseen foes. When the heroes approached the invisible foes with the intent of battling them, they vanished and a trio of wraiths appeared in the form of vicious barbarians.

The wraiths appeared like barbarians but had no unusual abilities. They attacked the nearest foe. The wraiths fought until destroyed.

The heroes checked the mulch around the battle site and found the bones of the soldiers along with some of their rusted and ancient gear. This search also uncovered a +1 light fortification heavy steel shield. When the heroes defeated the wraiths, a tall shadow emerged from the gloom, saluted and disappeared, leaving behind a flame tongue.

The Market's Vengeance (Arodus (VIII) 15th, 4709 AR)

-
The thugs drew their weapons when the heroes did the same, and fought anyone standing between them and Zeeva. When their spellcaster was killed, any remaining thugs tried to flee the market. One of them escaped, one of them was killed, while the last was captured. The spellcaster tried to employ crowd-control spells to confound the heroes. Zeeva is unarmed and ill prepared for combat. She tried to stay out of harm's way. She pled in vain with the Pathfinders not to kill the Aspis attackers. The heroes had little time after the last of the Consortium agents was defeated . The goon who was conscious to witness the haunting experience is visibly shaken. Soon after the conclusion of the Aspis Consortium's attack on Zeeva Foxglove, a haunt  manifested by animating two piles of produce into shambling mounds and the market's central tree into an angry quickwood. Despite being indoors, a terrible wind began blowing through the Green Market, shaking the tree in the central plaza and

The Bone Field (Sarenith (VI) 29th, 4710 AR)

Seneschal's Cathedral The bones around this area are meticulously organized, creating a spiral of bone walls that lead into a small clearing. In the center of this open space reside the bones of a gargantuan dragon. The dragon’s bones have been carefully carved with the draconic word for “protector” over and over again. Despite their pristine condition, the skull of the dragon has been crushed. The heroes uncovered a green dragon scale embedded in a fragment of the shattered skull. The bones ringing this clearing are inscribed with a complex litany of protective runes, mixed in with bits of draconic prophecy. A single tongue of rebuke had been stationed here. It circled this area but did not attack until the heroes tried to leave the cathedral. The tongue of rebuke alternated between its breath weapon and roar. It fought until destroyed. The Spirit of Auronorex This location contains some of the largest draconic skeletons in the entire Bone Field. Lying in the center of these skele
