3. A group of goblins have set up a trap on the shoreline to catch unsuspecting travelers. However, the trap has backfired and caught a group of griffins instead.

6. A woman named Violet wants players to help her pick some flowers for her anniversary with her husband, who works for a local merchant named Henry who owns a general store nearby and is looking for new suppliers of cheap goods to sell at his store. She says Henry's prices are too low already, but she knows his suppliers keep him in business since he sells so much because nobody else will compete with him on price alone. Henry has been known to pay quite well for goods if players ever want to do any side quests or earn some extra money to buy better equipment while they're here in town. She says Henry has a big black beard and always smiles when she comes into his shop to sell her flowers.
