1. RESIDUAL EFFECTS

Trigger: The local kingdoms and villages are alarmed by a series of mysterious attacks and thefts. Whoever they are, these bandits all seem to focus only on magic items, leaving behind gold and other treasure. Strangely enough, these attacks seem to have little in common aside from their targeted goods: sometimes, a band of hobgoblins will ride into town, pillage and plunder everything, and then ride off with their loot. Other times, the local king will wake up one morning and find that the lovely courtesan he has been wooing for his king has vanished, along with his flaming greatsword +3.
