The Burning Season

Adventure seed for level 2, in the frozen north

Fires keep breaking out in Oakcross, always at buildings owned by Bromrik Tunnelwise.

Offered by. The local thieves' guild, which is very polite about it

What's really going on. A fire elemental bound into an old lantern is loose, and Thalan Skywatcher, a jealous rival, broke the binding on purpose.

Complication. The patron is lying about one important detail.

Reward. The Belt of the Hollow King (uncommon wondrous item), a family heirloom the patron has been saving.

Ready-to-run encounter: The Snowblind Hunting Camp
