ONE will have a magical item within that well be well worth its trouble…

Hunting – The troubled woods of Lockshire are overrun with Bear, Wolves, Boar and Deer. Whomever ends the day with the most trophies gathered from these animals will win the title “Hunt Master of Travance, 1210” and a suitable prize.

Bounties - While we hold our festivities in Lockshire, all who are capable are encouraged to bring justice and relief to the hamlet. Many wanted posters adorn the inn walls. This is an opportunity for you to pay back the people of Lockshire for their hospitality as well as collect on a well-earned reward.
