A Poisonous Problem close

(Complete) There are several types of creatures on the island that are poisonous or venomous, and Rota would be a bit more comfortable if the kinds nearest the town were a bit more scarce. She has asked you to first deal with the Atosis, a lizardfolk-like creature which leaves behind a trail of tasteless, nearly invisible poison powder as it stalks through the forest. The thing is presumed sentient, but seems to d...

Domesticate Beasts of Burden close

Guardian has suggested that you attempt to tame some larger animals in the area that might be used as beasts of burden. He's seen some of suitable size and strength in a few locations, which he has listed off for you:

• Drinking at the river, near the border with the Shore Eater's territory.
• Grazing in the grassy fields of directly north of town. (Guunguun, complete)
• In the hills northwest, near Beacon's...

Enter the Mountain Ruins close

(Complete) Far northwest of the town, at nearly the dead center of the island, rises a massive mountain range that stretches high into the sky. Somewhere at the largest peak's base is the entrance to a maze of ruins that may stretch underneath the entire landmass. Legends of Kingsreach say that the gods hold no sway on the island, and that hidden within its heart are doors to other worlds. Though the ruins are a t...

Explore the Temple on the Lake close

To the north of town is a large lake, and on the northwestern edge sits an ancient temple. Though the construction resembles that of Far Eastern countries like Shou Lung and Kozakura, it is highly unlikely that people from Kara-Tur ever made it this far west. The scout, Beacon, has said that Abyssal lettering can be found at the gates to the temple, and that the entire structure radiates a menacing sense of "wrong...

Fell the Shore Eater close

(Complete) One of the requests from the expedition recruiters was to eventually find a way to slay the Shore Eater, the local Bulette that largely prevents exploration and mapping of the southeastern spur. Not only would doing so potentially open up new resources and ruins to explore, but the expedition would be credited 1,000 GP toward building costs.

Herbs for Rota close

(Complete) Rota is running a little low on Kingsfoot, a flowering herb that grows near the sea cliffs. The bright pink flowers are intensely poisonous, but the tender green leaves, when boiled, produce a tea that can soothe even magically-inflicted throat damage and restore lost speech. Drinking it regularly also provides some resistance to the poison of the flowers and similar toxins, which according to Rota are ...

Locate Ore close

(Complete) Guardian has asked that you check the rocky cliffs to the southwest of the settlement for a possible ore deposit. This would allow the town to make weapons and tools without having to rely as much on the monthly shipments.

Perfect Placement close

The time has come to pick out the first few buildings for the town, or at least where they will be in the future. It might be best if you get opinions from the whole team, then make decisions from there.

Secure Lumber Site close

(Complete) Guardian has asked you to check out a potential lumber site near the town plot. Roughly 2 hours west of the town, there is a grove of trees with blue-tipped leaves he has been calling Irontips. These exceptionally strong trees could provide flexible but durable and water-resistant lumber for the town, if the site can be confirmed safe. According to Beacon's report, there were signs of monsters in the area.

Zobli's Treasure close

(Complete) Zobli has a treasure box he wishes to open, but he misplaced the key while playing with Beacon outside. If you find it for him, he's promised to give you a reward.

Clues:

Zobli remembers that they ran around a lot that day, so the key could be anywhere between the edge of the woods and the nearby river.
