RPG-a-Day Month #1 -- Patron

Who's the stranger at the bar? 
(Roll 1d8 for the answer and adventure hook.)


1. A childhood friend who's come looking for help from one of the 
    now-famous/infamous player characters (PCs).
2. A disowned noble hoping the PCs will help restore his good 
    name and status.
3. An apprentice wizard who has been sent on a deadly quest by his 
    evil master, and who is drowning his or her sorrows before going 
    off to die. The NPC will eagerly accept any help and terms the PCs offer.
4. A scholar needs escort to and protection from whatever creatures dwell 
    within the Tomb of the Dragonlord, as he goes in search of proof whether 
    said Dragonlord ever really existed.
5. A treacherous rogue is posing as a hapless villager in search of help. 
    He or she was actually hired by an enemy of the player characters to lead 
    them into a trap. If the characters are extra friendly and helpful to 
    the rogue, he or she might betray the employer and warn the characters.
6. A cleric needs an escort to a long-abandoned shrine and help in retrieving 
     a holy artifact from the werewolf-infested foothills of a nearby 
     mountain range.
7. A villager is haunted by nightmares sent by the Lord of Dreams, 
    demanding he come to a dangerous cave, deep within the 
     monster-infested wilderness. He needs the characters to escort him 
     there to make the dreams stop. (The villager is fated to be the next 
     Lord of Dreams.)
8. A demon who wants to go back to the infernal realm, but has been cursed 
    to forget how. It promises the player characters riches if they will help lift the 
    curse and then help him find a gate to the Underworld.
