• You have been offered bounty by a noble to capture or kill local  pirates, who have made the fortress their stronghold. But they are freed  slaves, and the noble himself a slaver. The pirates claim they attack  his vessels, as well as that of other slavers, as a means to bring  freedom to the oppressed. If they skim the cream from the occasional  passing merchant ship, well, the vessels have more than enough to  survive, and the pirates have many helpless mouths to feed until they  can rehouse the freed slaves.   But the noble has only become a  slaver to save his people from the famine, which has caused many a child  to see their parents starve—and sometimes, even then, they don’t make  it. If you bring the pirates back alive, they will be forced into  slavery themselves—and the slaves they kidnapped, of course, will be  re-sold. If you don’t hand in the pirates, you will also make a powerful  enemy of the noble.

• Your party has  found an ancient treasure map, and followed it to the fortress. Only,  at the disturbance of the treasure, the two ghosts of young nobles  appear—both of whom do not wish you to have it. As it turns out, they  both loved the same woman (the duel over her was the cause of their  deaths), and the chest is filled with her jewels. However, they suppose  they could part with it, if you but exorcized the other noble’s spirit,  so they could be alone with their love, once and for all…
