Dejions 1st Lore-League Session

Hello All!
We'll make sure everyone at the table has connections with other PC's prior to starting so that I can incorporate PC backstories into the narrative we're telling together. I'll be running a table based on any of the following job postings.

Pest Control: "So ugh, I'm not sure how to ask this, but can someone please get rid of all these rats down by the port. They don't seem native, are aggressive, and are eating my clothes! At this point it'd be cheaper to have adventurers clear them out than me having to keep replacing my darn boots!
- An annoyed Dock Porter"

The Last Rite: "The Circle of Elders seeks brave souls to investigate recent disturbances in a once-abandoned village. We previously had interest in a mysterious item in the area, but it turned out to be of no value to upstanding civilized peoples. Reports indicate new unusual activity in the area, and we urgently require someone to assess the situation and ensure the village is safe. Your mission: report back on the village’s status and neutralize any threats you may encounter."

One by One They Vanish: "Please Help! Our small town is in urgent need of brave adventurers. People have been going missing, and no one from the capital seems to care. Please help us. I'm begging for someone to come to our town figure out what’s going on before my friends and family are next." (The note appears scribbled and barely legible)
