A young candle maker sells beautiful candles fit for a church or temple at a ridiculously low price—but why does he or she so desperately need to raise funds?
A group of thugs cut the heroes off in an alley and demand a toll to pass.

Two rival gangs, thieves’ guilds or other criminal organisations of the town have fallen out, both accusing the other of stealing a very valuable item or asset. Rumours abound around the taverns and tap rooms of the city, as well as speculation about what this item or asset might actually be. Might it in fact have been nicked by a third party? What about its rightful owner from whom it was originally stolen?
