2. Zebban the Mad is in the wasteland. He is a very old sorcerer who is insane. He doesn't want to be attacked. He is just trying to make his way to the town of Everfallen with his staff, his seven trained chickens, and his wagon full of things to sell. He will talk to the party if they approach him. He will be very excited and happy that the party is talking to him. He likes any kind of talking. If the party is rude to him or tries to attack him, he will scream at them and blast them with a bolt of lightning. He has a +4 sorcerer of lightning bolt ability. He is wearing robes, a hat, and has a magic staff. His staff is used for protection from enemies as well as a tool to summon his seven chickens. If the party attacks him, they will fight to the death. If they talk to him, they can possibly trick him into leaving the area and not coming back. He needs to go to town so he can restock his stock of magic items.
   
   
3. A group of 4d6+2 goblins riding on large hyenas are crossing the desert. They are wearing tribal masks and carrying small throwing daggers. They will attack the party unless they are attacked first. They have been captured by a larger tribe of goblins. They will trade gold with the party if they free them from their captors.
   
   
4. The party hears chilling screams and finds an orphanage besieged by a haunt of spectral children trapped between this world and the next. The children’s caretaker, the ghostly Sister Marigold, pleads for aid, explaining that they remain bound because of a nearby cursed obelisk. The players must battle through ranks of undead to shatter the obelisk. With its destruction, the children's spirits ascend, and Sister Marigold grants the players an amulet that wards against curses and blesses them with inspiring visions of a future reclaimed from despair.
