Quests for Starters
Quests for Starters
Location-start: Akta
W.i.p
Leading to:
Old World
As the group embark on their journey after a good rest or fresh up, they head west to the old part of Fabula. While still in Rokka, there are many small locations one can go to before leaving the safer region of the Place. Up north is the Pier of Veltin and where an NPC first seeks for active help.
Its half an hour from Akta and has a very calm and well pointed road for directions.
A Shipment gone missing
Where the group hear one of the sailors scold the other for not watching over one of the boxed that were delivered. He has a timelimit as the customer who had it ordered, is waiting. While the one sailor is stalling for time, the other asks the group for help while he watches the boxes he has. They find bloodtrails leading to the small forest on the left side. (the pathway up can be taken too but there is a better trail in the woods. The mountain Arfield is there.
Characters/Npcs to encounter here:
https://toyhou.se/YourTreeflower/characters/folder:3567703
The bloodtrails and soon chattering and sounds can be heard as a group of Kobolds had snagged the delivery and are in the process of opening the box.
One would find them in the nearby cave entry as they try to hide the tracks. The one bleeding had tried to open the box immedietly, the group can either talk to them to give them the items within or fight.
Delivery is a variation of cheese and wines.
While the group brings the delivery back (or how much they obtained) getting a reputation by the one guarding. (He can be asked for favors in future)
-----
If the group takes the path of Veltin/Pier, seeing a lady rather annoyed, tapping her foot and holding a scroll. It seem´s she is waiting for someone.
Upon approach one can talk to her. She will say how she is waiting on her list to be brought as she had sent a Haregon deliverer named Kermik Wafflesnout and in now fear of beeing scammed. And if the group could help her.
A seeking Deliverer
The group get´s the list of things from the lady and sends them into Arfield mountain and it´s woods. While the main road is easy to follow, the ingredients the lady wants are more to the north of the mountain and woods of Arfield.
One trail could lead to a wounded Haregon guy who got ambushed by a Bugbear roaming the forest named "Bugsbe" https://toyhou.se/16386222.bugsbe who is not fond of others "entering his territory" and will attack the group. He tends to steal that from others and won´t let the Haregon leave. With the group fighting this Busgbear, one can either grab the Harengon and dash to safety or try to fight him.
After this encounter, the woman will thank the group for bringing the ingredients on her list, handing a reward and the saved Harengon is in depth and will make the first few delivieries for free for the group. (deliveries, letters etc)
------
One can also decide to see what is up with the small mountaincave entrance (its on the right side of the way up to the mountain of Arfield at the thicker trees.) that is guarded by a Goblin (named Norren) and a Dwarf (named Hogris) who say it´s their mountain.
Quest triggered:
-The deep Howl
-Treasures or Devastation
-Burrow Beyond
In the "Deep Howl" quest, the group could listen to the dup argue and if approaching get scuffed away. The duo have a pretty strong combo (for starters its not recommend to fight them) instead one can try with list or other. Wait for one of them to go on a break and try to enter the cave or other methods
One would always hear a "deep howl" from the cave every now and then and see the duo argue who goes down this time.
The tunnelsystem below is a fun way to interact and following the path with lit torches brings one to a huge door. Leading inside to a homelike area. And a huge direwolf who is partly blind tied to the stonewall. One can befriend and free this poor guy and he will be supportive by ones side. As it can sniff out various treasures
"Treasures or Devastation"
is the mention of their treasure below that they find. Upon following the trail on the ground that has a more "golden" mark, leading to an old land mine. A mini cart adventure, picking the right one brings to a close end and a shovel in the ground. When trying to dig further, the group will nudge against a golden liquid that is flowing out. One can try to stop the hole from overflowing or not touch the shovel (the mention of this danger is from the duo above when listening in on their conversation) One can also decide to open the hidden contraptment door where the whole loot of the duo is. Jackpot.
Burrow Beyond
Following the third tunnel will lead the group directly through Arfield mountain and land on the outside close to Frisbourne. Takes 4 hrs instead of 7 hrs as one can use minecarts to travel with.
However the group decide, there are different outcomes and secrets within.
Only avoid the timecycle as the two take turns to either feed the direwolf who seeks treasure for them in the mountain inside or shovel on for their loot.
-----
Pinoli, if one chooses to go before adventuring, can bring man quests and encounters. From Billboard to seekings, gearing up and more. (here also lies the training grounds, nearby the old burnt village and orphanage as well.
Pinolis questgivers are a quick to handle bunch. From tradings to captures. It´s a place to earn a quick
Across of Peltak is Pinoli (about 15 minutes by foot)
As this is close to the many ways one can go, this is the place where Adventurerers get the "good ol" Equiptment for travelling, merchants who will buy your things, trade or sell.
It´s a very busy lil city and more robustser and lots of things to see than a calmer place like Peltak.
Usually a big Tavern can be found here across the Guildhall.
One can join groups, guilds and such. Seek for jobs and a quick cash or two. Things like hunting slimemonsters for their gooey substance to be traded or a tusk or two to be earned.
Near Pinoli is the Training ground as well as main Infocenter.
One can train, use magic or weapons, fight against others to see if the newest weapon or armor works, have a try in techniques or see if one can find a fitting group to travel with.
The Infocenter gives the first and last tipps before heading into the vast world of Old Fabula.
Nearby are animals as well as transportation to amounts of handling or trade as well as sell.
2 Bridges lead to different areas through the mountains South of Pinoli as well as directly through the wallborder of Rokka.
The Bridges lead to the Land of Gahul. One brings one up North as the other brings to South.
One can always try to climb the mountain. As it´s the 2nd highest of the world (almost as high as the wall) From which one has an excellent view over the lands. Do be wary as it is quite dangerous.
There are borderguards at the bridges and exit and will ask your desitination.
Leaving the area, means you are now in the "wild" world.
Deciding on moving along, the group can either take the path from Veltin through Arfield mountain or between the main road of Peltak and Pinoli (leading direct to Frisbourne)
Both ways take 7 hours to get there (with the exception that Arfield has the mountain/Woods and dangers of creatures and a lovely lake in the middle for rests if one needs.
Encounter on the paths possible:
-The lost Ring
With a lady looking around and calling for a mans name, this Halfling lady is known as Nahil is seemingly seeking something. Dressed in fine robes, looking up as she asks the group for help. She seems to have misplaced her ring and it is somewhere here around as well as the husband who went missing to seemingly find it.
Upon investigating, the group would find clues of the husband in a small tavern, drinking. He is a Half Orc by the name of Rumfry and drunk.
Upon trying to talk, one would find out he lost the ring in a card game from the table across and is now too ashamed to return to his future bride.
The group can try and win the ring back and play the card game with Arko, the Ratvolk who eageryl wants to play.
One can try to persuade or other ways to retrieve the ring (and the lost money in the process) and help this poor couple.
Upon winning against Arko, he will have the group in mind (for a much later encounter)
-A nose around
The group stumble upon a big Boar (around hiphigh) who had the farmer on the leash in the back and was storming. After catching the big fella, helping the farmer and talking, one would discover that his pet Boar loves to travel and he can´t seem to contain the "lil guy". The Boar is named "Armadeus Rillo"
As the group talks, the Boar suddenly breaks free and the chase is on. The farmer Orc Fantaki promises a high reward if they help get his precius pet back.
So on it goes. Into a wood full of giant spiders, (where valuable Spiderthread can be obtained), through a training field where Hobgoblins are practicing slingshots with a huge contraption (the Boar sits in one and gets thrown far off (survives this) and the term "Flying Pigs" is stated, then through a small lil wedding where the Boar lands on the cake, and later then into a hidden glade guarded by an ogre, and ultimately into a small citypart of Herath where the Boar had uncovered the secret entrance to the local thieve's guild of "Thiver".
All in all a very chasing situation and when brought back, the group get´s a big reward.
-The shrunken Shrine
Wandering the path along the way, there is a small lil shrine on the side of the woods. The players can approach it and see someone cussing around and wanting his item back.
Discovering that the shrine holds more than one thinks. The old man is discussing not to himself but with a fairy who warns him not to continue.
The group get tangled in when approaching and get shrunken down to the size of a hand. In order to become big again, they need to find the fairy´s home. Which is a days walk in small form. A glowing mushroom path leads the way.. Encountering animals one can fight or befriend.
The daily Con
A conartist under the name of Eugene
Fithlesticks (disguises, tricks and such) to go into his various roles and get lil coins and such out of bypassers
The Group will at start find him on the path between Rokka and Frisbourne and try his luck. (He will be a reoccuring npc, that the group later on befriends and has infos for them when befriended)
Another reoccuring NPc is Margo, a curious wandering Npc who wishes to learn more about others (Species, likes, dislikes etc) and will often ask for various things upon encountering.
------
Upon reaching the next place (Frisbourne) there are various quests to do inside as well
-see the info on Frisbourne for most quests here, some will be added later on
Depending what the group want´s to do next, there are ways to travel along. Either
to Brimwall in the north (From Frisbourne to Brimwall it´s a 3 days travel)
to City Herath in the South (from Frisbourne it takes 3 days)
Upon taking the way to Brimwall, there is an encounter between. Near Brimwoll (2 to 3 hours) is a lovely hidden farm near the left side of the mountain. Where the quest
Quest: 2 Kobolds, 1 Pie
A sweet elder lady by the name of Gueneviere is cussing after a Kobold who had taken a few of her fresh baked, very delicious pies.
The womans hair is in a lovely long braided brown hair, short ears that appear to have been cut off and she is a Halfling.
She has been complaining that there are two kobolds that have been stealing from her inbetween and always took half of what she made. She doesnt have the energy to finish the chores and get all done by tonight.
Farmhelper duties!
She has
2 cows, 4 sheep, 7 chickens and a Hen, a donkey along a Horse and a small lil crop farm and one side with fruits and veggies.
Animal handling is part.
The group can help her with the chores (inside and outside the house) as these two Kobolds have made quite a mess. The Barn has seen better days and upon talking one finds out that she had lost her husband 2 months ago and that these Kobolds have appeared since 2 weeks. She never saw others only these two with their slight blue and reddish colors.
Helping clean the house, household and gatherings, she rewards them with food. A portion each of her famous Pies. While eating, it is late and she offers the stay in the upper area of her big house. The 2 Rooms are used as guest rooms and group can talk here.
At night there is a rukkus as the Kobolds once again have snuck in to steal but the group defends.
In the morning, one see´s the donkey is out and the most doors open. Gathering all together, one can either stay and help her again or move on.
The next task with helping her has come. One half can travel with her to Brimwall where she sells her goods and the other remain back to find and maybe talk with the Kobolds.
Those staying back

One will discover that she has a very skilled way with talking to soothn the situation as people and all around enjoy her baked pies so much that they have become famous.
When returning, the two groups talk and the lady has a word with the Kobolds who later on have decided to help her. In exchange, she let´s them live with her.
Upon thanking the group, giving them her secret recipie, some pies and travelgoodies, they always have a place to stay whenever they want.

one would meet an ol westerny type as a nearby sheriff, who doesn´t seem to have enough guards, are hunting after a group of bandits and it said to be nearby of an old tall building near the outskirts. Asking the Group to watch for any suspicious activity. This side quest will require stealth and subtlety, observing the building from afar, and regularly reporting back to the Sheriff. Alternatively, they might just infiltrate the facility and discover the truth themselves.

A dragons treasure
News spreads that a dragon was slain while away from his cave, a search for its unguarded hoard is underway.

Between two points
Still between the place, the group come by a big mountain that has two big areas. Lovely to see. One side is more on the natural, tree loving side, the other seemingly burnt and old.
It is a slight "one side against the other" if the group interact. One lands on the one side, as the others hear the story of the other side.
"BIntal and Benral" are the names of these really small lil villages on the mountains. And the fight had started as the water had stopped flowing. The one side giving the other the fault.
